Members praise Zoom access but note hearing‑impaired audio limits
Summary
Commissioners said holding the meeting primarily via Zoom broadened participation, especially from outlying communities, but one member said the audio quality posed problems for a hearing‑impaired participant.
Commissioners and staff expressed appreciation for using Zoom to allow participation from remote communities such as West Wendover, calling it convenient for a typically short February meeting. Staff asked that entities be invited in advance to present at the August meeting so those with substantive capital plans can attend in person or by Zoom.
During the meeting the chair observed audio difficulty: "I'm hearing impaired, and it's not it may not work in this," indicating the Zoom audio quality presented challenges for at least one participant. Commissioners agreed to continue offering Zoom access while recognizing the need to address audio clarity for participants with hearing impairments.
