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 Village's videoconferencing policy
and the authority granted in Public Officers Law § 103-a.
This article is adopted pursuant to Public Officers Law § 103-a
which expressly authorizes the Board of Trustees to adopt a local

where the public may be physically present and other conditions are
met.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Woodbury hereby authorizes
all members of the Village's public bodies to participate in
meetings using videoconferencing technology in a manner consistent
with Public Officers Law § 103-a and the Village's
videoconferencing policy adopted by the Board of Trustees, which may
be amended by resolution.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of
this article or the application thereof to any person, firm or corporation,
or circumstance shall be adjusted 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 article 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.
This article shall take effect immediately upon filing with
