Wasco County Commissioner Kathy Schwartz is hoping to see the technology used for on-line meetings during the pandemic be incorporated into their regular way of holding in-person meetings. Schwartz is working with some County staffers on how to use this technology for more engagement with citizens. Schwartz points out with the large size of Wasco County, using virtual conferencing allows residents miles away from The Dalles to talk with commissioners without having to drive to the Courthouse to take part. She adds they are currently putting live recordings of Commission meetings on the Wasco County website.
