It basically required everyone to “shelter in place”. This would, in fact, affect several types of businesses. Mr. Perkins reminded everyone that last week, Council passed an ordinance which also placed regulations on certain local businesses. He added that the Governor’s Executive Order stated that while the State’s Order was in place, local ordinances become void until April 13th. He added that the order would be placed on the Town’s website and social media, making the public aware that it should be followed through April 13th. He shared that prior to or immediately following April 13th, Council needed to meet regarding actions the Town would take following the Executive Order. This would also depend on Governor Kemp making any changes. Attorney Stough suggested that Council make a motion regarding the revocation of the Town’s ordinance. Council Member Matthews made a motion to deny the extension. Council Member Howard seconded the motion. Motion was approved 4-0.
