Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act.  
As a state agency, the Commission is governed by the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act. Under this law, the Commission must publish an agenda at least ten days prior to any meeting specifically describing the items to be transacted or discussed. Public notices of Commission meetings and staff reports (as applicable) dealing with matters on the meeting agendas can be found on BCDC’s website. Simply access Commission Meetings under the “Public Meetings” tab on the website and select the date of the meeting. 

How to Provide Comments and Comment Time Limits. 
 Pursuant to the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, the Commission currently conducts its public meetings in a “hybrid” fashion. Each meeting notice will specify (1) the primary physical meeting location, (2) all teleconference locations, which will be publicly accessible, and (3) the Zoom virtual meeting link. If you would like to comment at the beginning of the meeting or on an item scheduled for public discussion, you may do so in one of three ways: (1) being present at the primary physical or a teleconference meeting location; (2) emailing comments in advance to publiccomment@bcdc.ca.gov by 10 a.m. the day before the meeting which will be distributed to the Commission members; or (3) participating via Zoom during the meeting.  

If you plan to participate through Zoom, please use your Zoom-enabled device and click on the “raise your hand” button and then wait to speak until called upon. If you are using a telephone to call into the meeting, select *6 to unmute your phone, and you will then be able to speak. We ask that everyone use the mute button when not speaking. It is also important that you do not put your phone on hold. Each speaker may be limited to a maximum of three minutes or less at the discretion of the Chair during the public comment period, depending on any number of considerations such as the projected duration of agendized matters and the number of persons wishing to comment on said matters. Any speakers who exceed the time limits or interfere with the meeting may be muted by the Chair.  

Access to Meetings.  
Meetings are physically held in venues that are accessible to persons with disabilities. If you would like to request a disability-related modification or accommodation in order to observe a meeting and/or offer public comment, please contact staff at least one week prior to the meeting via email. We will attempt to make the virtual meeting accessible via Zoom accessibility capabilities as well. 

Questions and Staff Contact.  
If you have any questions or feedback for staff concerning an item on the agenda, or would like to receive notice of future hearings, please contact the staff member whose name, email address, and direct phone number are indicated in parentheses at the end of the agenda item. If you have general meeting information questions, please contact the Commission Liaison.  

Campaign Contributions.  
Pursuant to the Political Reform Act, Commissioners may be required to disqualify themselves from voting on a matter involving a permit, license, or other entitlement for use if they have received a campaign contribution of more than five hundred dollars ($500) from a party or a party’s agent, or from any participant or a participant’s agent in that matter if a Commissioner knows or has reason to know that the participant has a financial interest in the decision, within the past 12 months. A party to a proceeding involving a permit, license, or other entitlement for use must disclose on the record of the proceeding if they have made campaign contributions in excess of $500 to any Commissioner within the last year, and if so, to which Commissioner(s) they have contributed.  

Additional legal requirements govern contributions by applicants and other interested parties and establish criteria for Commissioner conflicts of interest. Please consult with the staff counsel if you have any questions about the rules that pertain to campaign contributions or conflicts of interest.
