Brown Act
All Board-appointed committees are subject to the Brown Act. Therefore, all agendas and minutes will be posted.
"Besides the actual governing board of a local agency, Government Code 54952 provides that the Brown Act applies to any commissions, committees, boards, or other bodies of a local agency, whether permanent or temporary, decision-making or advisory, created by resolution or any other formal action of a legislative body," "Education Code 35145 provides that minutes must be taken of all actions taken by the governing board. Education Code 35163 also requires that every official board action be affirmed by a formal vote of the members of the board and kept in a journal of its proceedings."
