During the pandemic, council members have had a choice between meeting in chambers or via teleconference.
“We have unfortunately had our meetings closed to the public due to the pandemic, but with the new governor’s orders that many of the guidelines and restrictions will be removed in June, we think it’s appropriate at that time to reopen our council chambers to the public as well,” Freeland said.
Public comments have been made by phone or email, options which will continue for those who would prefer not to be in City Hall, Freeland said.
“I would imagine we will do some sort of hybrid for the time being,” Freeland said. “The important part is to get residents that want to come to a council meeting and speak in front of the council the opportunity to do so.”
