Re: [Oama] COVID-19 Emergency Proclamations?
Check out C4 (page 6 of the pdf of the act) - it says the public body shall be allowed to participate ... and then goes on to talk about public participation. It appears 1) that the addition of "body" is a typo (3rd word) and that any video or teleconference is going to have to have public participation. There is no way this is able to be put into place by most small cities.
Looks good, just creates more problems!!!

Has anyone been able to get a copy of SB 661 which amended the Open Meeting Act? All I can find on google is that Stitt signed but no copy of the actual bill/law

Okmulgee declared emergency and closed to the public all buildings operated by the City or Municipal Authority starting at 1:00 pm today. The staff will still be working and citizens can conduct business by email, by phone or drive through window or drop box. They can also call for an appointment if there is a one-on-one meeting required.
We are cancelling municipal court, library and a store at our lake. The building owned by the city but leased to the area nutrition center for seniors is not affected because it is not operated by the City.
We are still having our regular meeting tomorrow night because we need to move on with business. Monthly claims need to be approved so they can be paid and there are still issues to resolve.
I think a postponement or rescheduling of a meeting would be better than not having them at all as business still needs to be transacted on behalf of the citizens.

Just wondering if some of you whose cities have issued emergency proclamations due to COVID-19 might be willing to share?
