Person County adopts advisory‑board policy outlining remote‑meeting rules effective Jan. 1, 2027

The Person County Board of Commissioners adopted an advisory‑board policy that permits special and emergency meetings to be held remotely and sets a process for advisory boards to request approval to hold regular meetings remotely.

County administration presented the policy change, explaining it would allow advisory boards to hold special and emergency meetings remotely and that regular remote meetings would require the advisory board to add a remote‑meeting provision to its bylaws and secure commission approval. The policy becomes effective Jan. 1, 2027, providing time for advisory boards and staff liaisons to update bylaws and procedures. The board voted to adopt the resolution directing staff to implement, maintain and periodically review the new policy.
