access to meetings. The CDC recommends social distancing of at least six feet between persons. City
Hall is currently open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To comply with
these recommendations and requirements, the City is implementing the following changes and restrictions

The City Council Meeting will be conducted in person with the members of the Council, Mayor, City

between desks to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
There is a room capacity restriction of 25 persons inside City Council Chambers at one time. There will be
