Committee approves editorial and emergency clarifications to Policy 189 on virtual meetings
Summary
The Policy Committee recommended editing Policy 189 (Virtual Board Meetings) to remove editorial markings on page 5 and to clarify emergency provisions allowing committee chair members to preside over virtual committee meetings; it also listed which normal policies would be temporarily suspended during emergencies.
The Policy Committee recommended editorial changes to Policy 189, which governs virtual board meetings in emergency situations. The minutes direct removal of editorial markings on page 5, paragraphs 8 and 9, and say paragraph 8 will list normal policies to be temporarily suspended during emergencies: board location for meetings, quorum determinations, board member attendance, and in-person public comment.
The minutes further state that paragraph 9 will be clarified so that, during emergency situations, committee chair members may preside over virtual committee meetings and the prior policies would be suspended for any committee meeting held during those circumstances. The committee recorded the recommendation as unanimous (3-0).
The committee recorded these edits as technical and editorial, and the recommendation was forwarded to the full board for consideration.
