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 Alderman and other public meetings electronically. These actions were taken in response to Governor Bill Lee’s 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 Alderman 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. The public is also, and will continue to be, able to view the agenda and have live access to the actual meetings by electronic means, by logging in to Germantown’s web page, and by clicking the appropriate link. 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 May 18, 2020, unless further action is taken by Governor Lee.
