[HISTORY: Adopted by the Council of the City of Beacon as
indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 7-5-2022 by L.L. No. 05-2022]
It is the intent of this article to give members of the City
Council the authority to participate in meetings via videoconference
in a manner consistent with the authority granted in Public Officers
Law § 103-a.
This article is adopted pursuant to Public Officers Law § 103-a
which expressly permits the City Council to adopt a local law to authorize
the use of videoconferencing for itself. Members of the City Council
may participate in meetings via videoconference from locations not
accessible to the public, so long as a quorum of the City Council
participates from locations where the public may be physically present
and all conditions set forth in Public Officers Law § 103-a
are met.
The City Council of the City of Beacon hereby authorizes members
of the City Council to participate in meetings using videoconferencing
technology in a manner consistent with Public Officers Law § 103-a.
The provisions of this article and Public Officers Law § 103-a
do not limit the existing authority set forth in the Public Officers
Law, which allows all public bodies to virtually connect multiple
public locations from which members and the public may attend. Public
bodies may continue to hold proper open meetings by videoconference
from multiple physical locations which are identified in the meeting
notice, open to the public and connected virtually together by videoconference.
The provisions of this article expand further the authority of the
City Council to allow its members to participate in a meeting using
videoconferencing technology under limited circumstances when the
member's location is not open to in-person public attendance.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or
part of this article or the application thereof to any person, individual,
corporation, firm, partnership, entity, or circumstance shall be adjudged
by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional,
such order or judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the
remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause,
sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or part of this chapter,
or in its application to the person, individual, corporation, firm,
partnership, entity, or circumstance directly involved in the controversy
in which such order or judgment shall be rendered.
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon filing with
the office of the Secretary of State of the State of New York.
