I would like to call the Board of Fire and Police Meeting for October 29, 2020 to order.

disaster proclamation, and Mayor Chirico’s executive order determining that in-person public
meetings are not currently practical or prudent because of the Covid-19 pandemic, we are
holding this Board of Fire and Police Commission meeting remotely.
The commissioners and staff participating in tonight’s meeting are all in different locations in
accordance with social distancing guidelines, and steps have been taken to ensure that the
Commissioners can hear one another and all discussion and testimony. The public has been

contemporaneously hear all discussion, testimony and votes. All votes shall be taken by roll call.
