Northwest Focal Point Senior Summary Agenda August 26, 2020
Center District
The Northwest Focal Point Senior Center (NWFPSC) is holding a virtual public hearing on August 26, 2020, at 4:30
p.m. This statement explains the NWFPSC’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 NWFPSC’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 NWFPSC’s clients and employees, the NWFPSC finds that it is in the best interest
of the NWFPSC to hold this virtual public meeting.
• Therefore, the NWFPSC will be holding this virtual meeting through the use of electronic communication.
