ARTICLE VI: ACTION BY THE BOARD, Section B (2) of the Board of Trustees Bylaws has been removed in its entirety and replaced as follows: 

2. Board Participation by Other Means. In all events, a quorum of Trustees must be present to lawfully conduct a Board meeting. To the extent permitted by the New York State Open Meetings Laws, Trustees participating by means of video conferencing may be counted toward achieving a quorum. Once a quorum is present, additional Trustees may participate in a Board meeting through conference telephone or similar communication equipment, provided that all Trustees participating in such meeting can hear one another. Trustees shall not be entitled to vote unless they attend the meeting in person or, to the extent permitted by the New York State Open Meetings Laws, by live video conferencing. Trustees participating by means of video conferencing shall do so from a site at which the public may attend, listen and observe. All meetings of the Board are subject to the provisions of the New York State Open Meetings Laws.

 

2. Board Participation by Other Means. In all events, a quorum of Trustees must be present to lawfully conduct a Board meeting. A Trustee participating by videoconference may be counted toward achieving a quorum, and may fully participate and vote, if the Trustee’s location is identified in the public notice of the meeting and is open to the public. A Trustee participating by videoconference from a location that is not open to the public may be counted toward achieving a quorum only if the Trustee is participating due to a qualifying disability, in accordance with Public Officers Law § 103-a; otherwise, such Trustee may participate and vote only if a quorum is present at one or more locations open to the public. Except during executive session, every Trustee participating by videoconference must be seen and heard throughout the meeting. All meetings of the Board are subject to the provisions of the New York State Open Meetings Laws.
