(*) Minnesota Statutes 13D.021 states that agencies may conduct public meetings by phone or other electronic means if the presiding officer, chief legal counsel, or chief administrative officer for the affected governing body determines that an in person meeting is not practical or prudent because of a health pandemic or an emergency declared under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 12.

Given the COVID-19 pandemic, the governor's declaration of the peacetime emergency under chapter 12, and the governor's stay at home executive order, the Arts Board has determined that it will not be feasible for advisory panel members to participate in these meetings in person.
