ADJOURNMENT

 

 

Please be aware of this recent guidance from the Massachusetts Attorney General regarding how virtual meetings are to be conducted:

• If the meeting will be recorded, the Chair must make a public statement regarding the recording per the MA wiretap statute.
• All votes must be taken with a roll call (just like what is required in executive session).
• Remote members must introduce selves (or be introduced) at start of meeting.
• Cameras should be on (not required if a device does not have camera).
• When holding an executive session remotely, each member participating remotely must state that no other person is present or able to hear the discussion at the remote location, unless the public body has approved the presence of that individual. 

 

 

 

Votes may be taken at any time during the meeting.  The listing of topics that the Chair reasonably anticipates will be discussed at the meeting is not intended as a guarantee of the topics that will be discussed. Not all topics listed may in fact be discussed, and other topics not listed may also be brought up for discussion to the extent permitted by law.
