§92-3.5  Meeting by videoconference; notice;
quorum.  (a)  A board may hold a meeting by videoconference; provided that
the videoconference system used by the board shall allow both audio and visual
interaction between all members of the board participating in the meeting and
the public attending the meeting, at any videoconference location.  The notice
required by section 92-7 shall specify all locations at which board members
will be physically present during a videoconference meeting.  The notice shall also
specify that the public may attend the meeting at any of the specified
locations.



(b)  Any board member participating in a
meeting by videoconference shall be considered present at the meeting for the
purpose of determining compliance with the quorum and voting requirements of
the board.



(c)  A meeting held by videoconference shall be
terminated if, after the meeting convenes, both the audio and video
communication cannot be maintained with all locations where the meeting is
being held, even if a quorum of the board is physically present in one
location; provided that a meeting may be continued by audio communication
alone, if:



(1)  All visual aids required by, or brought to the
meeting by board members or members of the public have already been provided to
all meeting participants at all videoconference locations where the meeting is
held; or



(2)  Participants are able to readily transmit visual
aids by some other means (e.g., fax copies), to all other meeting participants
at all other videoconference locations where the meeting is held.  If copies of
visual aids are not available to all meeting participants at all
videoconference locations where the meeting is held, those agenda items related
to the visual aids shall be deferred until the next meeting; and



(3)  No more than fifteen minutes shall elapse in
implementing the requirements listed in paragraph (2). [L 1994, c 121, §1; am L
