Technical Difficulties, Meetings to Stay Remote
The Lakewood Township Committee Virtual meeting last week was plagued with technical issues. Committee members had technical trouble hearing each other and at some point voted by giving a thumbs up on the screen and had to abstain on another vote after not being able to hear the reading. Despite all that the Mayor deflected criticism from the public who sent in emails demanding a return to in person meetings. A point was made that the public is very restricted to speak up on the zoom calls vs in person meetings where there's a give and take and can speqk with passion without the mayor shutting down the allotted time to speak as is done online or speed reading the submitted emails. Why can't they have a hybrid system by returning to in person meetings and allow the public to submit emails if covid is a concern.
The mayor responded that in person meetings are to be the way of the dinosaur by saying " the days of going down to a township meeting are long over as there are more ways to reach out and communicate to the committee. He said their jobs are 24/7 as the members are constantly approached by individuals.
