[Adopted 11-8-2022 by L.L. No. 3-2022]
It is the intent of this article to give 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 article is adopted pursuant to Public Officers Law § 103-a
which expressly authorizes the Town Board to adopt a local law giving
the Town's 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 participates from locations where the
public may be physically present and other conditions are met.
The Town Board hereby authorizes 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.
This article shall take effect immediately upon filing with
the Secretary of State.
