Trustees to draft remote-attendance rules, will consult New Hampshire Municipal Association
Summary
Trustees agreed to draft language allowing remote attendance subject to board vote and technical requirements (room participants must hear remote attendees, and remote attendees must identify who is present with them); they will contact the New Hampshire Municipal Association for guidance.
Trustees agreed the bylaws need explicit remote-attendance language and that the board must vote to allow remote participation. They emphasized two practical requirements: everyone in the room must be able to hear the remote participant and the remote participant must identify who is physically present with them when joining.
Speaker S2 said they would contact the New Hampshire Municipal Association for guidance about best practice and legal compliance on remote participation and on how to handle trustees who stop showing up to meetings. The trustees set remote-attendance language and procedural checks as outstanding items to finish before presenting the bylaws draft to the board.
