Why This Vote Matters
The council voted unanimously to continue holding virtual meetings for another 30 days rather than returning to in-person gatherings. This routine administrative decision allows all city boards and commissions to keep meeting remotely while still providing public access for residents to watch and comment. State law requires the city to renew this authorization every month, which the council has been doing since the pandemic began in March 2020.
