Councilmember Kuzma confirmed his consensus with using $8. <br />Acting Mayor LeTourneau confirmed the consensus of the Council to move forward with the <br />questions as discussed. <br />2.02: Review Policy for Attendance and Participation at City Meetings (Council and <br />Commissioners) via Electronic Medium <br />City Administrator Ulrich reviewed the staff report. <br />Councilmember Johns referenced the statement that eligible users may use this option up to four <br />times. She stated that for the Council that would be a good number but for some of the <br />Commissions and Boards that would equate to 25 percent of their meetings for the year. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that there is a cost to use Skype and asked if the individual would <br />be responsible for having that technology or whether there would be a City funded cost. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that there would be a regular Skype that does not have a cost. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that there may be additional charges, should someone be <br />remotely attending from a far location. He noted that would be an item for discussion as to <br />whom would be responsible for that cost. <br />Councilmember Johns stated that perhaps there would be international charges for some users. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that this option would be at the user's convenience and therefore it <br />should be their cost. <br />Acting Mayor LeTourneau stated that he would like additional information on the cost for using <br />this technology for a meeting as that will help determine whether he would even be interested in <br />this option. <br />Councilmember Shryock agreed that four meetings would be a lot for Board and Commission <br />members that only meet 12 times per year. She suggested setting the limit for those users at up <br />to two meetings per year. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that his expectation is that this method for attending meetings be <br />used very rarely and suggested adding that language to the policy. He suggested that this policy <br />be limited to one person per meeting, as it would be difficult to accommodate technology for two <br />users to attend remotely. <br />Acting Mayor LeTourneau stated that he would be interested in the cost for both one and two <br />users. <br />City Council Work Session / March 13, 2018 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />
