On April 9, 2022, the New York State legislature passed the New York State 2022-2023 Budget Bill which contained provisions (1) amending Section 103 of the Public Officer’s Law of the State of New York (the “Open Meetings Law”); and (2) adding the Videoconferencing Law to the Open Meetings Law. Pursuant to Section 103-a(2) of the Videoconferencing Law, the Agency, as a “public body” under and as defined in the Videoconferencing Law, may, in its discretion, conduct Remote Access Meetings (as defined herein), provided that the Agency must first (A) conduct a public hearing regarding the proposed authorization of Remote Access Meetings; (B) adopt a resolution authorizing the Agency and each of its committees and subcommittees to conduct Remote Access Meetings (the “Remote Access Resolution”); and (C) establish written procedures governing Remote Access Meetings (such written procedures of the Agency being referred to hereinafter as the “Remote Access Policy”). Copies of the Remote Access Policy shall be available to the public at the location of the Public Hearing. Additionally, copies of the Remote Access Policy can be obtained from the Agency prior to the Public Hearing as further described below.

The Agency is considering whether (A) to authorize Remote Access Meetings and (B) to adopt the Remote Access Policy. A “Remote Access Meeting” shall mean any meeting of the Agency where a member of the Agency participates in such meeting using videoconferencing from a location that is not open to the public.

If the Agency, subsequent to holding the Public Hearing, determines to authorize Remote Access Meetings and adopt the Remote Access Policy, the Agency may thereafter, in its discretion, conduct a Remote Access Meeting. All Remote Access Meetings so conducted by the Agency shall comply with the Videoconferencing Law and the Remote Access Policy, respectively.

The Agency will at said time and place hear all persons with views on the Remote Access Policy being contemplated by the Agency in connection with the authorization contained in the Videoconferencing Law.

Comments may also be submitted to the Agency in writing to Fairport OCED, 31 South Main Street, Village of Fairport, New York 14450, or electronically to jmccooey@fairportny.gov. Minutes of the Public Hearing will be transcribed and posted on the Agency’s website.
