Council approves remote participation request for Councilmember Sarah Aberbacher
Summary
The Richmond City Council voted to allow Councilmember Sarah Aberbacher to participate in the special meeting by Microsoft Teams under council rules because of a medical condition.
Councilmembers voted to approve a request by Councilmember Sarah Aberbacher to participate remotely in the special meeting under Rule 3(d)(4)(b) of the council’s rules of procedure.
The request was announced by the clerk and the council solicited a motion. A motion to allow Aberbacher’s electronic participation was moved and seconded; during the roll call the following members recorded “Aye”: Councilmember Breton; Councilmember Gibson; Councilmember Jones; Councilmember Robertson; Councilmember Trammell; Vice President Jurden; and President Newbill. The clerk announced the motion had been approved and that all council members were in attendance that evening.
The approval allows Aberbacher to use Microsoft Teams to participate in the meeting because her medical condition prevents her physical attendance, as stated in her request. The council did not record opposition to the request in the transcript.
