Published: Feb. 16, 2022, 7:13 p.m.

b'At the February 16, 2022, \\u201cBasics of the Sunshine Act\\u201d webinar, George Spiess, Chief of Outreach and Training, PA Office of Open Records, reviewed what constituted a meeting covered by the Pennsylvania Sunshine Act. \\n\\nIn this audio segment from the presentation, Mr. Spiess answers my question about establishing a quorum. In particular, can members of a committee participate remotely \\u2013 via speaker phone or Zoom \\u2013 AND be counted as part of the quorum to thereby make it an official meeting? The answer to that question depends upon whether we are talking about committees of a first-class township, second-class township, or borough.'
