Title

Town Council Members Joining Meetings Electronically.

Body

BACKGROUND SUMMARY:

 

The Town Council is considering a measure that would allow its Members to participate in its Meetings electronically.  This measure is allowed in the State Code.

 

OVERVIEW:

The Town Council has the authority to allow electronic Meetings.  It can also limit the frequency that its Members may use this option in a given Fiscal Year.

 

SUMMARY/STAFF IMPRESSIONS:

It is best that the Town Council place some parameters on the use of this provision.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommended Action

My recommendation is that the Town Council develop a policy regarding Council Members joining meetings electronically.
