Explanation
§ N.C.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, and N.C.G.S. §166A-19.24 authorizes remote meetings during certain declarations of emergencies.
§ Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City Council Meeting Schedule has been adjusted to accommodate remote meetings and using an electronic meeting format for November and December 2020.
§ To accommodate an electronic meeting environment, the public may access the meetings via the Government Channel, the city’s Facebook page, or the city’s YouTube Channel.
§ Effective October 2, 2020, under the Governor’s Executive Order 169, North Carolina moved into Safer at Home Phase 3 with the lifting of certain COVID-19-related restrictions.
§ Phase 3 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 laws.
