Many commissions and committees have large memberships, and rooms where <br /> they meet cannot provide for adequate physical distancing to safely reduce <br /> possible exposure. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> No effect. Existing staff will continue to facilitate virtual meetings. <br /> Submitted by: Approved by: <br /> 7\ild/47\-4 <br /> Daniel Sodergren elyn worig Gerry Beaudin <br /> City Attorney City Clerk City Manager <br />
