Reali told the committee that existing committee guidelines do not address or restrict remote public participation by members of the public and that decisions about remote participation are currently at the discretion of the Committee Chair.

Vice Chair Kesler and staff indicated they will bring any recommended language or procedures back to the committee if a formal change is proposed for a future meeting.
