CHERRYVILLE, N.C. – February 8, 2021 – The City of Cherryville City Council wants citizens to have the opportunity to participate in the February 8 City Council Meeting while still complying with Coronavirus guidelines for social distancing. “We want to keep citizens informed and engaged in the work that the City Council is doing on their behalf,” said Mayor H.L. Beam. “By streaming the meeting on city web site live, we can still get questions and input from our community in real time as the meeting is occurring while maintaining a safe distance from each other.” The City of Cherryville has two options for how you can view the City Council Meeting at 6:00 PM on February 8, 2021: 1. In person – City Council Meetings are open meetings and citizens are welcome to attend as long as they are not sick, are not running a fever, sit six feet apart in the training room, and follow the “no handshake” policy. Complying with the social distancing guidelines reduces size gatherings to 10 people, so seating in the training room will be limited in order to comply with social distancing guidelines. Some attendees may end up sitting in the lobby where they will be able to hear the meeting. City Council Meetings are held at the Cherryville Fire Department, 411 E. Church Street in Cherryville. 2. Facebook Live or City of Cherryville web page – The City Council Meeting will be streamed live on the City’s web page of the fire department’s Facebook page beginning at 6:00 PM on February 8, 2021.
