Comment by Mike Henry:
Ok, so…This is Katherine’s first meeting on the Georgetown Twp. board of Trustees. She did her research and came up with 4 pages of Constitutional provisions, State statutes, and township regulations for why they must meet in-person. The township supervisor (the chair of the meeting), was sick and decided the meeting would be by Zoom. The four members here informed the chair that just because he is sick and cannot attend, that is not sufficient reason to not hold an in-person township meeting. So four members showed up, and three others used zoom. What you hear in the video is exactly what you would have experienced if you were also in attendance, although the public was not allowed to attend. The ONLY way for the public to watch online was to download the 93 page agenda to find the link to watch on Zoom (which had 23 viewers, 7 of which were the board members). I did have it muted at the beginning until the meeting started. These meetings MUST be in person and that is what Katherine was arguing. This meeting was quickly adjourned and an in-person meeting is now scheduled for next Monday. P.S. YouTube started buffering on my end about 1 minute before adjourning. Probably weak WiFi.
