I think the number-one issue is that audio is extremely poor. For example, my husband is hearing-impaired and cannot hear any of these meetings. There is no closed captioning; therefore, no comment or question can be answered before there is a vote. This disenfranchises the hearing-impaired who want to participate and can’t.

For those of us who are not hearing-impaired, it still remains a challenge to hear what is being said. While I understand the need for social distancing and the wearing of masks, very often people do not speak into their microphones to be heard. Although this is raised frequently, nothing changes. This needs to be addressed and does not meet guidelines set out by the Americans with disabilities Act.
