_________________________________________________________________________________

Pursuant to Governor Baker’s March 12, 2020 Order Suspending Certain Provisions of the Open Meeting Law, G.L. c. 30A, §20,and the Governor’s March 15, 2020 Order imposing strict limitation on the number of people that may gather in one place, this meeting of the Salem Conservation Commission will be conducted via remote participation to the greatest extent possible. Specific information and the general guidelines for remote participation by members of the public and/or parties with a right and/or requirement to attend this meeting can be found on the city’s website, at www.salem.com. 

Temporary Change to Zoom Platform

Zoom, the remote meeting platform used by the City of Salem for public meetings, has temporarily disabled telephone options for attending webinars, the format used by the City for most meetings, in order to conduct an update to the platform. The company anticipates re-enabling them shortly. In the meantime, attendees can connect to the audio of a live webinar meeting using Zoom’s desktop client, web client, or mobile app. Recordings of public meetings held via Zoom are also available for those unable to attend a meeting live.

For this meeting, members of the public who wish to watch, listen or provide comment during the meeting may do so in the following manner: 

The meeting will be opened at 6:15pm to allow members of the public to test their audio. During portions of the meeting in which public comment is permitted, members of the public who have “raised their hand” in Zoom will be called on to offer comment.  In order to raise a hand, members of the public using the Zoom computer of phone application may click the “Raise Hand” button.  Members of the public can alternatively email their comment before the start of the meeting to bdolan@salem.com.

No in-person attendance of members of the public will be permitted, but every effort will be made to ensure that the public can adequately access the proceedings in real time, via technological means. In the event that we are unable to do so, despite best efforts, we will post on the city’s website an audio or video recording, transcript, or other comprehensive record of proceedings as soon as possible after the meeting. 

Application materials can be accessed using the Salem Conservation Commission website at https://www.salem.com/conservation-commission.
