ORDINANCE NO. ______, 3rd SERIES

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CROOKSTON, MINNESOTA AUTHORIZING ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATION IN CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS AND ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATION

THE CITY OF CROOKSTON ORDAINS, as follows

The following describes the intent and purpose of this ordinance:

a. Pursuant to City of Crookston, Minnesota Charter Section 3.02 public bodies including the City Council and all of the Commissions, Boards, and Committees of the City are authorized to conduct meetings and public hearings by any means of communication through which the members thereof and other persons who take part in or are present at such meeting or hearing may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting or hearing; and

b. It is desirable that City Council members, the Mayor, City staff, and members of the public be able to participate in City Council meetings remotely by any means of communication through which the members thereof and other persons who take part in or are present at such meeting or hearing may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting or hearing.

The City of Crookston Municipal Code shall be amended as follows:

Meetings – Electronic Participation.

A. Electronic Participation Authorized. City of Crookston City Council members, the Mayor, and/or City staff as well as citizens of the City of Crookston and invited participants may participate in an electronic meeting of the City Council as provided in this Section. All actions undertaken at an electronic meeting held in compliance with the Section, are valid and binding to the same extent as if all participants had been physically present at the anchor location. A request to participate by electronic means shall be to the City Administrator not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the meeting in question and may be denied if the City of Crookston does not have the technical capability to connect electronically to the remote location.

B. Definitions. The following definitions apply to this Section:

1. Anchor location means the City of Crookston City Council Chambers or any other physical location where a meeting is held and from which the electronic meeting originates. 2. Electronic meeting means a meeting of the City Council convened or conducted where a City Council member, the Mayor, or City staff members or a member of the public participate by a real time audio or video tele-communication means. 3. Remote location means any place other than the anchor location where a City Council member, the Mayor, City staff, or a member of the public may be located, and where meeting participants can establish electronic access to the meeting.

C. Quorum for Electronic Meetings.

1. As otherwise defined in this Chapter, the majority of the City Council constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. A quorum must be present at the anchor location to convene an electronic meeting of the Crookston City Council. 2. Except as noted in Sub. Section D below, Crookston City Council members participating in an electronic meeting from a remote location shall be considered present and are authorized to vote and otherwise participate in the meeting as if they were at the anchor location. 3. In the event of an equipment failure or other similar event which causes an interruption of communication with the remote location, the Crookston City Council has the discretion to either: (i) Act on the matters up for consideration on its agenda; or (ii) Continue the matter to subsequent meeting.

D. General Procedure.
