She stated that the Board could start <br />holding in person meetings with masks on and social distancing and <br />reviewed other options they had. Commissioner Wright expressed his <br />desire to get back to in person meetings as quickly as possible. He <br />stated that he is understanding that it may require additional time <br />to get up and running but would like to get there sooner rather than <br />later. Deputy Hartung reminded the Board that they would need to <br />enforce masking and social distancing as well as refuse attendance <br />once the 7 people are present. Staff stated that the screen that <br />shows who they are talking to is out of commission, but IT is <br />working with Cisco Webex and as soon as they can get to testing it <br />they will. For now, Staff will send out messaging for Departments to <br />use on their agendas pertaining to Phase Two and will continue to <br />work on moving towards in person.
