Commissioners stop using Zoom after livestream lag; switch to county webpage only
Summary
Blackford County Commissioners voted 3-0 to stop using Zoom for meetings because a delay made Zoom participants inaudible; the board will rely solely on the county webpage livestream going forward.
President John Lancaster opened the July 20, 2026, meeting and the commissioners moved quickly to resolve a technical problem that has affected public participation.
Commissioner Dan Borgenheimer said the Zoom feed had a lag that prevented the board from hearing people on Zoom. "Motion made by Borgenheimer to stop using Zoom and only use Livestreaming on our county webpage," the record shows. Commissioner Laura Coons seconded the motion and it passed 3-0, ending simultaneous Zoom participation for future broadcasts. The commissioners noted the county will continue CivicPlus livestreaming on its webpage.
