Lawrenceville City Council meetings will be reopened to the public starting next Wednesday night, the first public meeting since Lawrenceville's COVID-19-related State of Emergency ended on Wednesday.
“Council Members, businesses, staff and our citizens have been remarkable during a time of constant change,” said Mayor David Still said in a release sent to local media Friday evening. “However, we are ready to get back to a new normal and to continue the necessary work to move Lawrenceville forward.”
Social distancing guidelines will be followed during the 7 p.m. meeting, with public seating being arranged to keep attendees a minimum of six feet apart. City council members will also be seated a minimum of six feet apart, and will wear masks throughout the meeting.
Official say if seating capacity is exceeded due to the new modifications, additional attendees and presenters will be redirected to a previously designated overflow space in City Hall.
Masks will apparently made available to members of the public, who will be encouraged to wear them throughout the proceedings.
For those who can not attend in person, the meeting will be streamed live on the city's Facebook page.
Comments, which must be received by 5 p.m. on the day of the meeting, can be submitted ahead of time by reaching out to City Clerk Karen Pierce at [email protected].
