Committee follows remote-participation protocol, approves January 14 minutes and adjourns
Summary
Committee chair read remote-participation rules at the meeting’s start; the committee approved the Jan. 14 minutes by roll-call and later approved a motion to adjourn.
At the start of the meeting a staff member (David) read the town’s remote-participation guidance as recorded in the open-meeting law regulations governing remote participation (referenced in the meeting as “9 40 CMR 29 0 1 0”). The guidance highlighted the chair’s duty to announce remote participants at the start of the meeting, to record remote-participation information in the minutes, to take roll-call votes and to ensure remote participants are audible and alone during executive sessions unless the public body approves otherwise.
Following the procedural explanation, the committee considered routine business. The committee recorded a roll-call acceptanc of the Jan. 14 minutes; audible “aye” responses were captured from Peter Morrison, Matt Peel, Niles Parker and the chair. Later in the meeting Peter moved to adjourn, Matt seconded and the motion carried by roll call; committee members including Peter, Matt, Garrison Beal and the chair were recorded as voting in favor.
The meeting then concluded; staff and the chair recorded the adjournment in the minutes.
