The Margate Employee Benefit Trust Fund (EBTF) is holding a virtual public hearing on September 9, 2020, at 11:00
a.m. This statement explains the EBTF's findings related to the need to hold the virtual public meeting, and the
ability of the public to access the virtual public meeting.
The EBTF’s findings and procedure for the virtual public meeting are as follows:
• Pursuant to Governor DeSantis’ Executive Orders 20-51 and 20-52, in which the Governor declared a
public health emergency and a state of emergency, there is a recommendation to limit public gatherings.
• On March 20, 2020, Governor DeSantis issued Executive Order 20-69, suspending the quorum requirements for
public meetings held by a local government body, and the requirement that a local government body must meet at a
specific public place.
• On August 7, 2020, Governor DeSantis issued Executive Order 20-193, extending Executive Order 20-69 regarding
local government public meetings until 12:01 a.m. on October 1, 2020.
• Consistent with the authority contained in the Governor’s Executive Orders, and in order to ensure the
health, safety, and welfare of the EBTF’s clients and employees, the EBTF finds that it is in the best interest of the
EBTF to hold this virtual public meeting.
