In a turn of events signaling a nod to the digital age, a commissioner is slated to take part in the upcoming Board of Commissioners meeting slated for January 2, but with a modern twist. The official will beam in using interactive technology from hundreds of miles away at the Gulf Beaches Public Library in Madeira Beach, Florida, according to the Sherburne County.
Attending remotely from the Douglas Craig Memorial Room located at 200 Municipal Drive, the commissioner is forging ahead with public duties while away from the board’s usual stomping grounds. While specifics surrounding the remote attendance were not disclosed, it is clear that this move is a step toward embracing the potential of technology to bridge distances and maintain governance continuity, as per Sherburne County.
For those interested in the finer details of how such a setup may affect the proceedings, Bruce Messelt, County Administrator, has been listed as the go-to contact, reachable at (763) 765-3001 or through his email at [email protected].
