Calvert City planning commission votes to end video teleconference participation option
Summary
The planning commission voted to discontinue video teleconferencing as a method of participating in meetings — remote viewers may still watch but will not be permitted to vote — and approved routine minutes and adjournment by voice vote; staff announced a hiring advertisement for a zoning/code compliance officer.
The Calvert City Planning Commission voted to discontinue video teleconferencing as an option for participating in meetings after a brief discussion about internet outages and voting rules.
