Potential to Transition Back to Electronic Meetings?

[Larsen Jay]

Commissioners,

Several members of our legislative body have asked me about the possibility of transitioning our meetings back over to electronic format (Zoom) as our local COVID cases and deaths are on the rise once again - allowed under Governor Lee's Executive Order Extension (#67 - https://publications.tnsosfiles.com/pub ... -lee67.pdf).

I would like to ask for your feedback on this idea as soon as possible.

Larsen.

I support transitioning back to electronic (Zoom) meetings since our local COVID cases and deaths are rising but also because the holidays are quickly approaching, and I think people will still gather with family and friends which could lead to an even greater increase in cases. I am specifically worried about our case numbers after Thanksgiving. I want to keep the risk of myself and my family contracting COVID minimal.
