public meetings held by a local government body, and the requirement that a local government body must meet at a
specific public place.

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 City of Margate’s clients and employees, the City of Margate finds that it is in the
