Temporary Meeting Rules for Special City Council Meeting April 2, 2020 at 5:30pm

Last updated on August 26, 2021

The City of Titusville Special Council meeting this week will focus on the following:

1. How many Regular City council meetings you would like to have in April. Our Charter says a minimum of 1 a month is required – Staff recommends having 1 meeting in April and determine at your May meeting if you would like to have an additional meeting in May or not.

2. Do you want to continue with the cancelation all advisory boards during April – Staff recommends canceling all advisory board meetings in April. During your May regular meeting you can direct restarting advisory board meetings.

3. How would you like to conduct your upcoming 14 Apr regular council meeting? Staff recommends three Councilmembers be physical present in the Chambers with the remaining two members calling into the meeting. We will socially distance the three physically on the dais, by spreading you all out and moving Richard, Wanda and me down at the tables on the floor of the Chambers. Staff will set up our City Hall lobby to accommodate up to 10 citizens separated appropriately seated on medal folding chairs. We’ll have plans in place should we have more than ten Citizens come for the meeting. Citizens will view the meeting on a large TV. They will be called to appear one at a time based on the cards filled should they want to address Council on any agenda items and/or petitions and requests of Council.

If anyone has any thoughts or comments, please feel free to email all of the council members. Emails for each member can be found HERE
