Board forms ad hoc legislative group and agrees to examine Zoom chat accessibility
Summary
Board members agreed to form an ad hoc committee to review roughly 20 state bills and asked the executive committee to consider better processes for monitoring Zoom chat messages to improve remote participation and accessibility.
A board member proposed an ad hoc committee to review legislative items, saying he and another member would lead the effort and invited others to join; the committee will focus on approximately 20 Assembly and Senate bills relevant to county behavioral health. Chair Laura Montagna also reminded members of administrative items, including the March 14 retreat.
Members raised accessibility concerns about remote participation and the meeting chat. The vice chair proposed that the executive committee discuss options to monitor and respond to chat messages without interrupting the meeting flow; the board agreed that structured comment periods will remain but that steps to acknowledge and better include remote attendees are appropriate. The chair adjourned the meeting at 13:55.
