It is the intent of this article to give the Town's "public
bodies," as that term is defined in Public Officers Law § 102,
the authority to participate in meetings via videoconference in a
manner consistent with the Town's videoconferencing policy and
the authority granted in Public Officers Law § 103-a.
This article is adopted pursuant to Public Officers Law § 103-a
which expressly authorizes the Town board to adopt a local law giving
public bodies the authority to participate in meetings via videoconference
from locations not accessible to the public so long as a quorum of
the body participates from locations where the public may be physically
present and other conditions are met.
The Town Board of the Town of North Castle hereby authorizes
members of all the Town's public bodies to participate in meetings
using videoconferencing technology in a manner consistent with Public
Officers Law § 103-a and the Town's videoconferencing
policy adopted by the Town Board.
