Online Selectboard meeting
Address
The Belgrade Board of Selectpersons on Tuesday, April 7, will for the first time ever conduct a meeting online.
The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. The meeting can be accessed via a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone at https://zoom.us/j/644641750. A user's device must have a microphone to participate in the discussion. Activating a device's camera will allow the user to also be seen. The public can post questions either by typing them in the chat bar on the right-hand side of the screen or clicking a "raise hand" feature in the chat function to gain the Board chair's attention. The chairman will recognize those wishing to speak in order to maintain a decorous meeting.
Because of the ongoing public health concern, the state Legislature recently approved a bill to allow municipal governing bodies to meet remotely for as long as the governor's emergency order is in effect, plus an additional 30 days. The Belgrade Selectboard opted to meet on Zoom, a user-friendly videoconferencing platform. Zoom will not only allow Selectpersons to meet remotely, the public will be able to watch, listen and participate in the discussion.
Posted below, the agenda was crafted to include only essential items of business, highlighted by an update of the public health crisis and Town operations.
Questions about the online meeting can be directed to Town Manager Anthony Wilson at townmanager@townofbelgrade.com or 207-495-2258.
