Summary
The board adopted a policy to allow limited remote participation aligned with state guidance; supervisors confirmed remote members may vote provided a quorum is present in person.
The Charlotte County Board of Supervisors adopted a policy allowing remote participation by members under conditions consistent with state code. The policy specifies that remote participation is permitted when a quorum of the board is physically present and that remote members may vote.
Board members discussed limits on use of remote participation, and one supervisor emphasized the policy should be limited to no more than two remote meetings per calendar year. The board passed the policy by voice vote.
Staff clarified the policy replaces temporary COVID-era language and aligns county practice with state requirements for remote meetings. The board gave unanimous approval with no roll call recorded.
