James Klug III express concern for the current County procedures regarding
Members attending meetings via conference calls. The concern was; a quorum
must be established prior to the Board voting whether to allow a Member to join
the meeting, via conference call, according to the extenuating circumstances as to
why the Member cannot attend the meeting in person prior to placing a
conference call to the Member. He asked the Board if he could research how this
action was put in to procedures, which would include going to County Attorney's
office.
Chairman Tuff agreed with James Klug III due to the affect it had on the
GGCCAB. She suggested he get his question answered and then report back to
the GGCCAB.
