Please check out the video from the Warrant Committee Subcommittee meeting last night. We utilized the new “Owl” which allows us to conduct hybrid meetings via Zoom without having to bring Medfield TV in for assistance. Pete had attended a conference with MMA that discussed towns that were using the Owl, it took a few weeks to get it into place but it was worth the wait! 

We intend to continue utilizing Medfield TV for the BOS and School Committee meetings but this offers more flexibility for smaller committees who would like to conduct hybrid meetings. 

Your cloud recording is now available.
