Yes, if authorized by the governing body. Although state law does not prohibit a member of a city council, village board or other municipal governmental body from attending a meeting by telephone, there are at least two concerns that indicate a need for careful consideration of this practice and authorization by the governing body. First, telephone attendance by one or more members of a governmental body must comply with the public's right to a reasonably accessible public meeting established by the open meetings law. Inadequate equipment or any other problem created by telephone attendance of one or more members of a governmental body that impairs the public's right of reasonable access may rise to the level of an open meetings law violation. If so, any action taken by the governmental body at such a meeting is subject to being voided.
