Clerk cites Facebook broadcast and remote-participation rules under state law
Summary
A staff member read the legal statement noting the meeting was being broadcast on Facebook pursuant to KRS 61.826 and instructed remote participants to identify themselves and be on camera when making motions, underscoring procedural safeguards for public access and member confidentiality.
A staff member read the meeting's legal statement at the start of the special called session, informing attendees and the public that the meeting was being held at the Kentucky Public Pensions Authority offices in Frankfort and "is being broadcast to the public by Facebook pursuant to Kentucky revised statute section 61.826." The staff member also reminded remote speakers to identify themselves before speaking and to be on camera when making or seconding motions or casting votes.
Those instructions were given as part of routine open-meeting compliance and remote-participation protocol. The staff member warned that if video or audio broadcasts were interrupted, the committee would attempt to reestablish connection and would adjourn and reschedule the meeting if a connection could not be restored within 30 minutes.
The announcement established the meeting's location (1260 Global Road, Frankfort) and the method of public access; it also set expectations for remote participants and explained the reason for a closed session later in the meeting: considerations involving sensitive and confidential medical and member account records.
