Chair Emily Shervin opened the work session by moving into a review of a draft 'rules of procedure, code of ethics and appointments' packet compiled by staff; commissioners debated adopting suggested rules (Trey Allen fourth edition/NCACC guidance) and whether meetings should be mandatorily video recorded or allowed audio-only backups when technology fails. Commissioner (S4) raised concerns that the draft removes mandatory live video; others argued for prioritizing transparency but allowing fallbacks and clarified that a formal ordinance would be needed to change posting locations.
