Explanation
§ North Carolina G.S. §143-318.12 requires the City Clerk to maintain on file a schedule of the City Council’s regular meetings and that the approved schedule be posted to the city’s website. If a schedule is duly adopted and filed, no further notice of regular meetings is necessary. N.C.G.S. §143-318.13 authorizes regular meetings by electronic means.
§ Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City Council Meeting Schedule has been adjusted to accommodate an electronic meeting format for October 2020.
§ Effective September 4, 2020, under the Governor’s Executive Order 163, North Carolina moved into Safer at Home Phase 2.5 with the lifting of certain COVID-19-related restrictions.
§ Phase 2.5 of the Order limits indoor gatherings to no more than 25 people per room.
§ Action B authorizes the City Clerk, or her designee, to adjust the most recently approved meeting schedule in accordance with any updated executive orders, gathering restrictions, and consistent with applicable open meetings law.
