James Stone lawmakers, they have put video conferencing into action with the one council member who was on vacation this week
0:07
zooming in to Monday night's voting session meeting. City Councilman at large Jeff Russell, he was out of town for that voting session, but due to that ordinance
0:17
he is allowed to participate and vote now in remote video conferencing
0:22
The process states that council members can call in either on the phone or in this case through Zoom to this
0:30
the meeting for it being the first time the system was rolled out there were a few small
0:35
glitches but overall things seemed to have gone pretty smoothly you know he didn't want to miss
0:42
the meeting especially because it was a voting session so he's able to because the state has allowed
0:46
that now and we passed that resolution a month ago so that gives us an opportunity to be able to do
0:52
that so people can still participate and be there and so again we'll work through the glitches
0:58
and it'll make sure that it's a little bit easier, but we'll get used to it. Now, that local law that allows the streaming and video conferencing, it was voted on and approved at the end of December

So much taking place virtually today. What a great resource for those officials
