Nancy Beery asked about decisions regarding Zoom classes. • Kathy said that the Rec Center is currently making a stopgap upgrade to continue Zoom classes in the building. Funds will be in next year's budget for a permanent upgrade. Instructors have been informed that they are allowed to share this information.
