My Turn: Public meetings for all the public >Published: 7/19/2021 3:19:15 PM
At a meeting of Greenfield City Council committee chairs this month, the question of whether to hold future meetings by remote access, in person or a hybrid or both was discussed.
Although the matter was eventually tabled, three of the five of us were leaning towards hybrid/remote. I am one of them. I’ve done some research since our meeting and think that it is a discussion that the entire community should pay attention to. Continuing to allow remote access allows many more residents to be involved in and pay attention to local government.
