The new law extends pandemic‐related authorizations that <br />were set to expire on March 31 as follows: <br /> Allowing remote and hybrid meeting options for public bodies through March 31, 2025 <br /> <br />Announcements <br /> Welcome to Dana Bickelman, Director of Human Services, and to Jonas Miller, Director of <br />Communications. <br /> <br />Review of Minutes <br /> Minutes for December will be reviewed next month. <br /> <br />Presentation by Jonas Miller, Director of Communication <br /> Jonas is a web and digital equipment specialist. He said his goals are to get an audit done and to <br />improve accessibility. Monsido is a web governance program to look at web accessibility. <br /> The Commission wants to increase their online visibility and complaint process. Concerns were <br />brought up how to protect anonymity, what are the barriers to anonymity; what are technical <br />barriers of phone complaints (cannot hear and/or speak). Maybe the complaint form could <br />have optional fields. <br /> The Commission email has not been working and a test email was sent to see how long it takes <br />to be read. <br /> <br /> <br />
