These are unprecedented times. The President and the Governor have both declared a State of Emergency as a result of the threat of COVID-19 (aka the “Coronavirus”). The Governor also issued Executive Order N-25-20 that directs Californians to follow public health directives including canceling all large gatherings. The Executive Order also lifts the strict adherence to the Brown Act regarding teleconferencing requirements and allows local legislative bodies to hold their meetings without complying with the normal requirements of in-person public participation.

The health and well-being of our residents is the top priority for the City of Carson and you are urged to take all appropriate health safety precautions. To that end, no members of the public will be allowed into the Council Chambers during the Carson Council meetings.

To facilitate public participation however, our Carson City Council meetings will be available by:

• Livestream on the City’s website: The meeting will be conducted live over the internet via http://ci.carson.ca.us
• Cable Channel 35 (Spectrum) and Channel 99 (AT&T)
