Shawnee County commissioners on Monday authorized county departments to use the Zoom videoconferencing application.
Commissioners Bill Riphahn, Kevin Cook and Aaron Mays voted 3-0 to approve a consent agenda that included a proposal that enables employees to use Zoom to meet by video instead of face-to-face, with individual departments paying for the subscriptions.
Commissioners Cook and Riphahn were among the 10 people physically present for Monday’s meeting in the commission chambers in the County Courthouse, which is closed to the public. Also on hand were five other county employees and three journalists.
Mays took part by speakerphone, as did several county department heads.
