The Burleigh County Commission on Wednesday plans to address Commissioner Mark Armstrong s meeting attendance after the board s chairwoman said she has received complaints from residents about Armstrong attending meetings remotely.
Armstrong has not attended a regular commission meeting in person since March 16, 2020. He calls in to a phone in the Tom Baker Room of the City/County Building or attends via Zoom. He did not respond to emails and phone calls requesting comment that the Tribune left over a span of three days. The Tribune also left a message Tuesday with his wife.

Commission Chairwoman Kathleen Jones said Armstrong told her he cannot attend meetings in person because of the COVID-19 policy of his employer, the state Workforce Safety & Insurance agency.
