A majority of a legislative body may now attend an open <br />and noticed meeting of a standing committee within their agency if they only observe the <br />proceedings. (Government Code Section §54952.2) <br /> <br />If members of a local legislative body attend a meeting of a standing committee in which they are <br />not a member, the observing members should sit in the audience and refrain from making any <br />comments or asking any questions. <br /> <br />It is the policy not to hold joint Council-Committee meetings nor joint Sub-Committee meetings. <br />An item that might be considered for such a meeting should be scheduled for a work session of the <br />whole Council. <br />
