Council has decided to open the Council Chambers to the public for meetings.  Only the Council Chambers will be open, the public is not permitted in any other area of the Municipal Hall.

At this time, 12 seats will be available for presenters and members of the public, face masks are encouraged.  In addition, the meetings will also be recorded, using zoom, to provide everyone a chance to view the meetings thereafter.

Presenters will have priority seating and are included in the 12 maximum seats available. If you are interested in attending the meeting, you will be required to line up, practicing 6 feet physical distancing, at the back door that enters the Council Chambers.  The door will open shortly before the meeting begins. Once the maximum of 12 seats are filled, no others will be permitted to enter.  The Fire Chief will be in attendance to ensure proper protocols are being adhered to, as well as, directing the public in and out of the Council Chambers.
