CITY ATTORNEY ANNOUNCEMENT
City Attorney Joseph Montes announced that Council gave unanimous direction to staff to
monitor the County's releasing of the restrictions related to the pandemic, and if before May 19,
the County has not clearly indicated that public attendance by large groups of people at meetings
is appropriate, then the May 19 public hearing will need to be postponed. At that point, a
possible revised schedule of public hearings will be placed on the May 26 Council meeting
agenda for the Council to consider.
