Brown Act compliance and transparency
Summary
Commissioners were trained on how to avoid accidental Brown Act violations — including serial meetings, social media interactions, and sharing opinions with applicants before hearings. The rules are designed to make sure decisions on projects and appeals happen only in open, public hearings with all testimony on the record.
