Call to Order

members and the others joining this meeting had been previously advised of the special
conditions of this meeting, he passed on repeating them (i.e., the authority to not require a
physical presence of a quorum and other selected terms under the Open Meeting Law had,
by legislation on March 29, 2023, Governor Healey signed into law a supplemental budget
bill which, among other things, extends the temporary provisions pertaining to the Open
Meeting Law to March 31, 2025, pursuant to Chapter 22 of the Acts of 2023”.)
