The City of Margate is holding a virtual public hearing on September 2, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. This statement explains
the City of Margate's findings related to the need to hold the virtual public meeting, and the ability of the public to

The City of Margate’s findings and procedure for the virtual public meeting are as follows:

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