Meaford Council will start meeting in person again.
Starting September 14th, council meetings will be held at the Meaford Hall Opera House to allow for physical distancing, and to allow the public to safely attend.
Throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic, Council meetings were held virtually with members streaming in from remote locations.
The Municipality says meetings will begin at 1 p.m., rather than the usual start time of 3:00 p.m. to allow for the proper staff coverage required for the additional set-up at Meaford Hall.
The Municipality says those who wish to attend should be aware that screening will be required upon entry, with personal details to be given for contact tracing such as name and phone number, saying “Every member of the public who wishes to attend will be required to sign in.”
Meanwhile, masks are required and there will be sanitizer on site.
Paper materials and agendas will not be provided, and people are encouraged to print their own materials. (Agendas can also be pulled up on your tablet or smartphone)
Registration with the Clerk for deputations and public questions is required by 11 a.m. on the date of the meeting.
Rogers TV will continue to broadcast Meaford Council meetings, and the Municipality says it is hoping to continue to stream and post meeting videos on the Municipal youtube channel at www.meaford.ca/youtube.
