[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Tuxedo 8-22-2022 by L.L. No. 4-2022. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It is the intent of this chapter to give the Town Board, and
the Town's public bodies, as that term is defined in Public Officers
Law § 102, the authority to participate in meetings via
videoconference in a manner consistent with the Town's videoconferencing
policy and the authority granted in Public Officers Law § 103-a.
This chapter is adopted pursuant to Public Officers Law § 103-a,
which expressly authorizes the Town Board to adopt a local law giving
the Town Board and public bodies the authority to participate in meetings
via videoconference from locations not accessible to the public so
long as a quorum of the board/body participates from locations where
the public may be physically present and other conditions are met.
The Town Board of the Town of Tuxedo hereby authorizes members
of the Town Board and all members of the Town's public bodies to participate
in meetings using videoconferencing technology in a manner consistent
with Public Officers Law § 103-a and the Town's videoconferencing
policy adopted by the Town Board.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of
this chapter or the application thereof to any person, firm or corporation,
or circumstance, shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid or unconstitutional, such order or judgment shall not
affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be
confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision,
or part of this chapter or in its application to the person, individual,
firm or corporation or circumstance directly involved in the controversy
in which such judgment or order shall be rendered.
