A member of the Board is permitted to participate electronically in a meeting and may be counted in determining whether, or not, a quorum of members is present at any point in time. All, or some, members may participate electronically in meetings. Meetings can be held in person when Public Health restrictions permit; and For clarity, a Member of the Board may also participate electronically in a meeting that is closed to the public, if the meeting is properly held in closed session ( i.e. the deliberations are permitted to be conducted in closed session, moving from open session to closed session, and then rising and reporting, and maintaining minutes of both the closed and open portions of the meeting). Passed in Open Council this 1st day of March, 2021. - J! r Adrian Foster, Mayor
