Historic Commission Meeting
- Date: 08/17/2020 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Notice Regarding Electronic Meetings
All local governing bodies in the State of Tennessee have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Germantown is no exception. In an effort to carry out its governance and operational responsibilities lawfully, and effectively, while also considering the protection of public health, safety and welfare, the Germantown City Administration has taken steps to conduct Board of Mayor and Aldermen and other public meetings electronically. These actions were taken in response to Governor Bill Lee’s Executive Order 34, an order extending Executive Order 16, which suspended the requirements of the Tennessee Open Meetings Act to the extent necessary to allow governing bodies subject to the act to meet and conduct essential business by electronic means.
The Germantown Board of Mayor and Aldermen has determined that meeting electronically is necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of its citizens in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, notice of such electronic meetings has been, and will continue to be, published in the same manner as is currently used for regular meetings. Video recordings of the meetings will be made available as soon as practicable after each meeting on the City’s website at www.germantown-tn.gov. These measures are temporary, and are due to expire on August 29, 2020, unless further action is taken by Governor Lee.
