		a.	Pledge of Allegiance

Pledge of Allegiance to be led by Supervisor Mark Medina, District #1.

NOTE FOR THE PUBLIC:

The Brown Act contains special requirements that apply when members of a legislative body participate in a public meeting by telephone. Certain of these requirements have been suspended by Paragraph 11 of Executive Order N-25-20, executed by the Governor of California on March 12, 2020 to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus known as COVID-19. On March 18, 2020, Executive Order N-29-20 was executed. Per paragraph 3, the requirement to allow one publicly accessible location where members of the public have the right to observe and offer comment at the meeting has been suspended.

In particular, the Executive Order suspends the provisions of the Brown Act that require noticing and posting of agendas at each location where a member will be participating telephonically, as well as provisions that require physical presence of members for purposes of a quorum or to hold a meeting. Remote participants do not need to allow public access or comment at remote locations.

Public Participation:

In accordance with Executive Orders N-25-20, N-29-20, and guidance from the California Department of Public Health on gatherings, remote public participation is allowed. We will address the Order in the following ways:
