Council amends remote-attendance policy to require notice to presiding officer and clerk
Summary
On second reading council amended the remote meeting attendance policy (ordinance 20 26 0 6) to require that notice of remote participation be provided to the presiding officer and the city clerk; a motion to remove 'travel' as a valid reason for remote attendance failed for lack of a second.
Council considered an amendment on second reading to the city's remote meeting attendance policy. One council member moved to strike the word "travel," arguing that allowing travel as a reason for remote participation sends the wrong message to voters. That motion did not receive a second and was not adopted.
A friendly amendment from another member to require that notice of remote attendance be provided to both the presiding officer and the city clerk was adopted. The council then approved the ordinance on second reading as amended.
