From the BGR Group studio. This is

your News Minute on the Marietta Daily Journal

Today is Monday, April 8th and

0:09

I'm Keith Ippolito. The Board of Commissioners

0:12

recently deliberated on a proposal to

0:14

modify the rules for public comments during

0:16

the board meetings, specifically aiming to

0:18

restrict the use of audiovisual presentations

0:21

by commentators. This proposition

0:23

did not achieve unanimous support among the commissioners,

0:26

leading to the withdrawal from the meeting's agenda

0:28

for further consideration. The board is

0:30

contemplating the formation of a study group

0:32

to thoroughly examine the implications

0:34

and potential outcomes of such a rule change.

0:36

Factors such as advancements in technology

0:39

and evolving legal standards regarding technology

0:41

regulation were highlighted as significant

0:44

considerations in their deliberations.

0:46

In lieu of audiovisual presentations,

0:48

the board encourages the public to submit visual

0:50

materials and alternative formats, including

0:53

physical copies for clerical distribution,

0:55

email submissions prior to meetings, or

0:57

sharing links directly with board members.

1:00

The ongoing discussions reflect the board's

1:02

effort to balance technological integration

1:04

with procedural efficiency and accessibility.

1:07

The Board of Commissioners convenes at 9 a.m.

1:09

on Tuesdays at 100 Cherokee Street

1:11

in Marietta. For more news about our
