Agenda Item
HYBRID MEETINGS EXCEPTION (AB 2449)
Under AB 2449, a commissioner can exercise "Just Cause" or "Emergency Circumstance" allowing the commissioner to participate remotely in a meeting. If this happens, the Port of Long Beach Administration Building - First Floor Multipurpose Room will still be accessible for public observance of the meeting and public comment, but the meeting will also be open for comments virtually. Virtual comments will be activated on the WebEx internet page and a notice will appear next to the online meeting link under "Upcoming Meetings." The following instructions apply ONLY when a commissioner participates remotely.
• Raise Hand: Raise your hand by clicking the hand icon or by pressing *3 on your phone while the item is being read to indicate that you want to provide public comment on the item. The speaker list will close 1 minute after the item is read. Public comments will be addressed in the order they are received.
• Mute/Unmute: When you're called for public comment, you can unmute by clicking the microphone icon or by pressing *6 on your phone. All participants will be able to hear you.
• Public Comment: Please note that each speaker will be given 3 minutes to address the Board. If translation is needed, the time for comment will be extended to 6 minutes.
• Leave Meeting: Click Leave Meeting or end the call on your phone to leave the meeting at any time. If you leave, you can rejoin if the Harbor Commission meeting is still in progress.
