Scott:<br><br>Everything you need to know about this issue as well as the issue of out of meeting voting on motions by email is enshrined in Michigan state law. A call to Ann Seurynck at Foster Swift (616) 726-2240 or Clare Membiela, Library Law Consultant at the Library of Michigan (517) 335-8132, will get you the information you need. They are the experts in library and municipal government law who can best guide you in assembling the appropriate information for your Board. We’ve looked at it; lots of rules in the laws.<br><br>Stephen G.

<p class="MsoNormal">Our Board is interested in researching the possibility of virtual attendance and voting at Board meetings. If any of you have policies allowing this or have updated your Board’s bylaws to allow this, could you reply to me off the list.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
