Summary
The council adopted a state-required policy for what happens if the meeting's phone or internet service goes down — recess up to an hour, try to fix it, then either adjourn, extend the recess, or continue with a finding. The council got a live demo when its own stream crashed earlier that evening.

Impact analysis
Who knows how much this legal mess will cost taxpayers, but it's definitely not pocket change!
Residents who participate remotely in council meetings get guaranteed procedures for outages.
Honestly, no one directly lost money here, but it's a black eye for the city's reputation.
