Proposed Change
The amendment proposes restricting virtual attendance at Board meetings to illness or unsafe travel due to weather, replacing the broader use of electronic participation that has been allowed since COVID‑19 and returning to pre‑pandemic norms.
The amendment also proposes adding an updated elected officials’ oath of office to the Procedure Bylaw. The oath of office previously was approved by separate bylaw.
