§ 30.42 NON-EMERGENCY MEETINGS.
   This section shall apply whenever § 30.41 is not applicable.
   (A)   A member may attend a Council meeting using a virtual meeting, subject to the conditions of this section. If doing so, a member is present for purposes of establishing a quorum, and may participate in any final action so long as the member can be seen and heard by other members and public attendees.
   (B)   A member should notify the President or Clerk-Treasurer at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting, if possible.
   (C)   At least 50% of the members must be physically present at the meeting. This means no more than one member may participate virtually at any single meeting.
   (D)   A member may not attend more than 50% of the meetings using a virtual meeting format, or attend two consecutive meetings virtually, unless use of the virtual meeting format is due to military service, illness or other medical condition, death of a relative, or an emergency involving actual or threatened injury to persons or property.
   (E)   A member may not participate in a meeting virtually if the Council is attempting to take final action: to adopt a budget, make a reduction in personnel; initiate a referendum; establish or increase a fee; establish or increase a penalty; use the city’s eminent domain authority; or establish, raise or renew a tax.
