The Ross Valley Sanitary District board meeting on November 1, 2024, kicked off with a notable decision allowing Director Meggs to participate remotely due to emergency circumstances. This move aligns with the Brown Act, which permits remote participation under specific conditions, such as physical or family emergencies.

The board swiftly voted on this motion, confirming Meggs' remote attendance with unanimous support from all present directors. The roll call vote included affirmations from Directors Kelly, Scylla, Gaffney, Boorstein, and Meggs herself, showcasing a collaborative approach to ensuring all members can contribute, even from a distance.

Following the vote, the meeting proceeded with a pledge of allegiance before transitioning into a closed session. Upon reconvening, the board reported no significant updates, concluding the meeting with plans to reconvene on November 20.

This decision underscores the board's commitment to inclusivity and adaptability in governance, ensuring that all voices can be heard, regardless of physical presence.
