Notice Regarding Electronic Meetings

All local governing bodies in the State of Tennessee have been impacted by the COVID19 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 No. 60, an order extending Executive Order No. 16, previously extended by Page 2 Executive Order No. 34, previously extended by Executive Order No. 51, 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 public will have access to all public meetings by real-time live audio access and be able to listen to the recording of the Education Commission virtual meeting within 48 hours of the meeting.

For real-time live audio access, call 1-701-801-6027. To hear the recording, click https://www.germantown-tn.gov/government/city-boards-commissions/watch-live-orarchived-meetings.

These measures are temporary, and are due to expire on December 31, 2020, unless further action is taken by Governor Lee.
