THOSE ORDERS HAVE EXPIRED AND THERE'S A NEW STATE LAW THAT APPLIES THAT ALLOWS SOME VIRTUAL ATTENDANCE. I BELIEVE UP TO TWO MEETINGS A YEAR CAN BE ATTENDED VIRTUALLY AS LONG AS 50% OF THE BOARD IS HERE. WHICH WOULD BE TWO OUT OF THE THREE AND SO LONG AS THE PERSON NOT HERE CAN BE SEEN IN THE ROOM.
>> SEEN AND HEARD, MAYOR. >> . >> MAYOR: I WAS GOING TO ADD, THERE'S TWO, ONE OF THEM BEING ILLNESS, BUT IT GIVES US FLEXIBILITY. I WAS ILL EARLIER THIS WEEK, AND I THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOING TO BE UNABLE TO ATTEND, BUT I TESTED NEGATIVE.
>> THE TWO MEETINGS PER YEAR WAS FOR CITY COUNCIL, AND THE BOARDS, AND COMMISSIONS ARE ALLOWED, 50% OF MEETINGS. SO, IT'S EVEN MORE FLEXIBLE FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS OUTSIDE OF CITY COUNCIL. SO, IT PROVIDES EVEN MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR THIS BOARD.

WHEN IT DID THE GOVERNOR SIGN THESE MODIFIED ORDERS? IT WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, RIGHT?

BUT, I BELIEVE MOST BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS NOW HAVE ADOPTED THAT POLICY AND THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED IT EARLIER AS WELL, BUT IT'S LIMITED TO ONLY TWO MEETINGS, AND THAT'S A REFERENCE THERE, WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO. BUT I BELIEVE
[00:15:02]
