Committee approves remote participation for absent members
Summary
The committee voted to permit members absent for illness, disability, employment or family emergency to participate by video or teleconference; the motion passed by voice vote.
At the Nov. 12 meeting the presiding member asked for a motion to permit members not physically present due to personal illness or disability, employment purposes, family reasons or other emergency to participate by video or teleconference. A motion and second were recorded on the public record and the presiding member called for a voice vote.
Members responded "Aye," and the presiding member announced the motion carried. The transcript does not identify the member who made the initial motion by name in that exchange, and no detailed roll-call tally is provided in the public portion of the transcript for this vote.
The committee also approved the previous meeting minutes (the transcript reads 'May 2746' when referencing the minutes, which appears to be a transcription error) and then proceeded to the motion to enter executive session.
