Notification 72 hours prior to the meeting will enable the City to make reasonable arrangements to assure accessibility to this meeting. Senate Bill No. 751 has amended the Brown Act to require, effective January 1, 2014, that the "legislative body of a local agency shall publicly report any action taken and the vote or abstention on that action of each member present for the action," This bill adds to Government Code section 54953(c)(2) as a clarification to the existing law to make certain that it is always possible to determine from the record who voted yes, no, or abstained. The Brown Act ensures that the public is aware of how the legislative body votes on all matters. In situations where it is likely to be difficult to determine how a particular member voted, or whether a member abstained, the legislative body may desire to conduct a roll call vote to ensure compliance with Senate Bill No. 751. Further good practice is the inclusion of a vote tally, and any abstentions, as part of the official minutes.
