The Wasco County Commission held its first “virtual meeting” via a conference call Wednesday morning.  The Commission shortened it agenda this morning to just a handful of items, most notably formally ratifying the emergency declaration for the coronavirus that led to the virtual meeting in the first place.  There was also discussion on whether the video conferencing system they used today, which has a capacity of 250 people to be in the conference at any one time, was enough for public participation.  Commission Chair Scott Hege felt that to start with it’s probably sufficient, and the other commissioners agreed.  Much of what had been on the agenda for the Wednesday meeting was pushed back to their next scheduled meeting April 1 to accommodate the first run of the video conferencing system.
