contract, explaining that with substantial completion expected in June

Consideration of and Action on a Proposed Updated Policy on Electronic Participation in
Meetings From Remote Locations - Dan Siegel, Sands Anderson
Background Information
The General Assembly made a number of changes to the Freedom of Information Act
requirements during the 2024 session, including to the electronic meeting participation
including requirements for members to participate in meetings remotely. This included
adding a caregiver provision, so in addition to personal or medical reasons of the member, a
member may now utilize remote participation if the member is caring for a person with a
disability during the time the meeting is scheduled. Members participating remotely
previously did not count for purposes of a determining a quorum. Now, if a member is
participating remotely because of his or her own disability or because they are caring for
someone with a disability, the member will count for purposes of a quorum, so long as the
audio-visual connection stays connected, and the video stays on during the meeting. The
member's presence for purposes of a quorum will be lost if the audio connection is lost or the
video is disconnected or fails. In other words, for this purpose, the member may mute his or
her sound, but must have their camera on during the meeting to continue to count toward the
quorum. Since the Authority adopted its policy, the maximum number of meetings for which
remote participation is allowed increased from 2 to 2 or 25% of the meetings in a calendar
year, rounded up to the next whole number, whichever is greater. Finally, HB 894 requires
the public bodies utilizing remote participation to re-adopt its policy annually.
Previous Relevant Action
September 14, 2022 - HTRFA adoption of an Electronic Meeting Policy
November 13, 2024 - HTRFA adoption of the updated Electronic Meeting Policy
January 8, 2025 - HTRFA adoption of the Electronic Meeting Policy.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Authority Board adopt the policy as drafted.

POLICY ON ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATION IN MEETINGS FROM REMOTE
LOCATIONS
Except as provided hereafter, the Historic Triangle Recreational Facilities Authority (the
"Authority") does not conduct any meeting wherein the public business is discussed or transacted
through telephonic, video, electronic, or other electronic communication means where the
members are not physically assembled. This Policy is applied strictly and uniformly, without
exception, to the entire membership of the Authority and without regard to the identity of the
member requesting remote participation or the matters that will be considered or voted on at the
meeting.
This Policy shall also be applicable to any committee, subcommittee, task force or other entity of
the Authority.
This Policy is adopted to comply with the provisions of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act,
§ 2.2-3701 et seq. of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended (the "Act").
For the purposes of this Policy, "electronic communication" means the use of technology having
electrical, digital, magnetic, wireless, optical, electromagnetic, or similar capabilities to transmit
or receive information.
I. Remote Participation by Members when a Quorum is Physically Assembled
a. A member of the Authority may participate in any meeting of the Authority through
electronic communication, if 1) on or before the day of a meeting, a member of the
Authority notifies the chair that (i) such member is unable to physically attend the
meeting due to a temporary or permanent disability or other medical condition that
prevents the member's physical attendance (an individual member of a public body
who is a person with a disability as defined in Code of Virginia § 51.5-40.1 and
uses remote participation counts toward the quorum as if the individual was
physically present), (ii) a family member’s medical condition that requires the
member to provide care for such family member thereby preventing the member’s
physical attendance or the member is a caregiver who must provide care for a
person with a disability at the time the public meeting is being held thereby
preventing the member's physical attendance (an individual member of a public
body who is a caregiver for a person with a disability and uses remote participation
counts toward the quorum as if the individual was physically present), (iii) a
member's principal residence is more than 60 miles from the meeting location
identified in the required notice for such meeting, or (iv) that such member is unable
to physically attend the meeting due to a personal matter and identifies with
specificity the nature of the personal matter; and 2) the Authority approves the
member's participation by a majority vote of the members present at the meeting
location based only on the criteria in this policy and a quorum is present at the
meeting location.
Page 3 of 6
Page 54 of 57
b. Participation by an Authority member by electronic communication due to a
personal matter is limited each calendar year to two meetings or 25% of the
meetings held per calendar year rounded up to the next whole number, whichever
is greater.
c. If participation by an Authority member through electronic communication is
approved pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Authority shall record in its minutes
the remote location from which the member participated; however, the remote
location need not be open to the public and may be identified in the minutes by a
general description. If participation is approved due to (i) a temporary or permanent
disability or other medical condition or a family member's medical condition that
required the member to provide care for such family member, the Authority shall
also include in its minutes the fact that the member participated through electronic
communication means due to a temporary or permanent disability or other medical
condition that prevented the member's physical attendance, (ii) or a family
member's medical condition that required the member to provide care for such
family member, thereby preventing the member's physical attendance or (iii) if, a
member's principal residence is more than 60 miles from the meeting location
identified in the required notice for such meeting, the Authority shall include in its
minutes the fact that such notification was made.
d. If a member's participation from a remote location is disapproved because such
participation would violate the Policy, such disapproval shall be recorded in the
minutes with specificity.
e. If participation is approved due to a personal matter, the Authority must also
include in its minutes the specific nature of the personal matter cited by the member.
f. If a member's participation from a remote location due to a personal matter is
disapproved, such disapproval is recorded in the minutes with specificity.
II. Remote Participation by Members when a Quorum is not Physically Assembled During
an Emergency
a. The Authority may meet by electronic communication means without a quorum
physically assembled at one location when the Governor has declared a state of
emergency in accordance with Virginia Code § 44-146.17, or the locality in which
the Authority is located has declared a local state of emergency pursuant to Virginia
Code § 44-146.21, provided:
i. The catastrophic nature of the declared emergency makes it impracticable
or unsafe to assemble a quorum in a single location; and
ii. The purpose of the meeting is to provide for the continuity of operations of
the Authority or the discharge of its lawful purposes, duties, and
responsibilities.
Page 4 of 6
Page 55 of 57
b. If it holds a meeting pursuant to this section, the Authority shall:
i. Give public notice using the best available method given the nature of the
emergency contemporaneously with the notice provided members of the
Authority;
ii. Make arrangements for public access to the meeting through electronic
communications means, including videoconferencing if already used by the
Authority; and
iii. Provide the public with the opportunity to comment at those meetings when
public comment is customarily received.
c. For any meeting conducted pursuant to this section, the nature of the emergency,
the fact that the meeting was held by electronic communication means, and the type
of electronic communication means by which the meeting was held shall be stated
in the minutes of the meeting.
III. All-Virtual Public Meetings when there is no Emergency
The Authority may hold all-virtual public meetings in situations other than declared
states of emergency subject to the following requirements:
a. An indication of whether the meeting will be an in-person or all-virtual public
meeting is included in the required meeting notice along with a statement notifying
the public that the method by which a public body chooses to meet shall not be
changed unless the public body provides a new meeting notice in accordance with
the provisions of Virginia Code § 2.2-3707;
b. Public access to the all-virtual public meeting is provided via electronic
communication means;
c. The electronic communication means used allows the public to hear all members
of the Authority participating in the all-virtual public meeting and, when audio-
visual technology is available, to see the members of the Authority as well;
d. A phone number or other live contact information is provided to alert the Authority
if the audio or video transmission of the meeting provided by the Authority fails,
the Authority monitors such designated means of communication during the
meeting, and the Authority takes a recess until public access is restored if the
transmission fails for the public;
e. A copy of the proposed agenda and all agenda packets and, unless exempt, all
materials furnished to members of the Authority for a meeting is made available to
the public in electronic format at the same time that such materials are provided to
members of the Authority;
Page 5 of 6
Page 56 of 57
f. The public is afforded the opportunity to comment through electronic means,
including by way of written comments, at those public meetings when public
comment is customarily received;
g. No more than two members of the Authority are together in any one remote location
unless that remote location is open to the public to physically access it;
h. If a closed session is held during an all-virtual public meeting, transmission of the
meeting to the public resumes before the Authority votes to certify the closed
meeting as required by subsection D of § 2.2-3712 of the Act;
i. The Authority does not convene an all-virtual public meeting (i) more than two
times per calendar year or 25 percent of the meetings held per calendar year rounded
up to the next whole number, whichever is greater, or (ii) consecutively with
another all-virtual public meeting; and
j. Minutes of all-virtual public meetings held by electronic communication means are
taken as required by § 2.2-3707 of the Act and include the fact that the meeting was
held by electronic communication means and the type of electronic communication
means by which the meeting was held.
k. If a member's participation from a remote location pursuant to this subsection is
disapproved because such participation would violate the Authority's policy, such
disapproval shall be recorded in the minutes with specificity.
