Next City Commission Meeting on April 7
On 3/20/2020, Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order waiving state requirements for local governments to have in-person quorums for public meetings. Waiving the requirement will allow local governments to conduct meetings telephonically and via technology including video conferencing. As a result, the next meeting of the City Commission is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, April 7 at 6 p.m. The meeting is expected to take place using audio/video conferencing software. Additional information about the meeting, including details about public participation, will be made available once it is confirmed.
The next CFLCA General Meeting will take place on 4/14/20. Commissioner Moraitis will be in attendance. To submit your questions/concerns in advance please use out “Contact Us” Link.
