REMOTE PUBLIC MEETING PROTOCOL

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:39-1.1., et seq., the Planning Board of the Township of Howell (the “Board”) hereby adopts the following meeting protocols whenever a declared emergency requires the Board to conduct a public meeting without physical attendance by members of the public. This protocol has been adopted by resolution of the Board.

2. If in-person meeting attendance is restricted due to capacity restrictions, the Board must hold the public meeting in a location with adequate capacity or hold both an in-person and remote public meeting. No in person meeting may proceed if room capacity does not permit any member of the public to attend.

3. Remote meetings shall be conducted with adequate electronic communications technology, at no cost to the public, for attendance of at least 50 public participants (beyond those persons required to conduct business at the meeting).

4. A telephonic conference line shall be provided for the public to dial in to and listen to and provide public comment during meetings. Additional technology is permissible, including video and Internet-accessible technology, but a telephonic conference line must be provided.

9. Members of the public may make public comments through audio and video (if the meeting is held via video), during the meeting. For matters not involving a public hearing under the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law, N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1, et seq., public comments may be submitted to the Board Secretary via email or written letter if received at least eight (8) hours prior to the meeting. Public comments on matters that are not the subject of a public hearing on an application for development before the Board shall be read at the remote meeting with the same time restrictions of all public comments at the meeting. Duplicative comments may be summarized at the discretion of the Board Chair.

10. The remote meeting must allow for members of the public to be muted and the public to mute themselves.

11. The public comment protocol and muting function shall be announced at the beginning of the remote meeting.

12. The Board Chair may direct that a member of the public that becomes disruptive may be muted and warned that continued disruption may result in their being prevented from speaking or removal from the remote public meeting. Disruptive conduct includes sustained inappropriate behaviors such as, but not necessarily limited to, shouting, interruptions, use of profanity and refusing to comply with the directions of the Board Chair.

a. both adequate and electronic notice of the meeting has been provided, specifying the time, place, and manner in which such notice was provided; or

b. only electronic notice of the meeting has been provided, specifying the time, place, and manner in which such notice was provided, and that discussion and effectuation of public business shall be limited to only those matters requiring decision during the remote public meeting due to imminent time constraints.
