Cass County allows for virtual participation in county meetings

 

The public will be able to view next Monday’s Personnel Overview Committee Meeting, the Group B Rotational Meeting and the Cass County Commission Meeting by visiting www.casscountynd.gov/meetings. The public will find information there on how to watch each meeting. Click the appropriate links provided and use Microsoft Teams to view the meetings live.

For anyone that plans to participate in the meetings remotely, they will need to send an email to pioatcasscountynd [dot] gov (subject: Meeting%20Participation)

 to receive a private invitation to the meeting and to organize their participation. There will also be an option for a question and answer chat room within the Teams meetings where the public can submit questions, but these will be answered as time allows and there is no guarantee that a question submitted will be discussed.

All three meetings will take place on Monday, June 15. The Personnel Overview Committee Meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m., the Group B Rotational Meeting will start at 2:00 p.m. and the Commission Meeting will begin at 3:30 p.m.

On March 30, 2020 Governor Doug Burgum issued Executive Order 2020-16 amending Open Meeting requirements for public bodies due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The order allows governing bodies to provide a call-in number or electronic link that gives real time or livestreaming public access to meetings rather than physical access to meeting locations. This is a response to public health needs and social distancing recommendations and will be in effect for the duration of the declared state of emergency.
