Cutting the cord: In-person only meetings are back in vogue, for now, in Santa Clara County

SANTA CLARA COUNTY is eliminating hybrid committee meetings in favor of an in-person only format, which residents said could reduce community engagement.

County CEO Jeff Smith told the Board of Supervisors during the Jan. 10 meeting that a lack of resources makes it infeasible to continue providing hybrid services for every committee meeting. The general board of supervisors meetings will still have a virtual option.
