The Waukesha Training Committee convened on March 17, 2025, to discuss essential procedures for Granicus testing and training, focusing on the effective management of meetings. The session emphasized the importance of proper technical setup and operational protocols to ensure smooth meeting execution.

Key discussions included the necessity of double-clicking to activate various functions within the Granicus system, which is crucial for managing meeting agendas and participant interactions. Committee members highlighted the significance of maintaining accurate attendance records, suggesting that a physical roll call could be beneficial in certain situations.

The committee also addressed potential challenges, such as overlapping meetings in the same room, which could lead to confusion. To mitigate this, members were advised to ensure that the correct agenda is loaded and to be prepared to restart the system if issues arise.

Another focal point was the voting process, where members were reminded to clearly identify the mover of a motion and to manage attendance updates effectively, especially if participants arrive late. The importance of documenting meeting minutes and any notable occurrences was also stressed, ensuring that all actions are recorded accurately.

Looking ahead, the committee discussed the possibility of integrating iPads for board members to streamline the voting process, although this technology is still under consideration. The meeting concluded with a reminder to finalize all meeting records properly, ensuring that all discussions and decisions are captured for future reference.

Overall, the training session aimed to enhance the efficiency of Waukesha's meeting management, ensuring that all participants are well-prepared and informed about the operational protocols of the Granicus system.
