The Fallbrook Community Planning Group will meet both in person and virtually starting March 21.

A 14-0 planning group vote Feb. 21, with Tom Harrington absent, approved the hybrid format. The in-person attendance will be at the Fallbrook Public Utility District board room.

"We decided we were going back to a hybrid meeting for the general planning group meeting, " said planning group chair Eileen Delaney. "We're still going to continue virtual meetings for our committees."

Some planning group members have expressed a preference for in-person meetings while others wanted to continue to meet remotely. "It was agreed after several votes that we will go hybrid," Delaney said.

In-person meetings allow more interaction between the board and the public. Virtual meetings placate concerns about exposure to adverse health effects and also allow board or public members who cannot attend a meeting due to geographical reasons to participate or listen.

"We were concerned about the public wanting to participate, " Delaney said.

The specific technology to allow the hybrid meetings will be finalized prior to March 21. "We'll let everybody know as soon as we know, " Delaney said.
