I know have seen various discussions on the topic(s), but how can a Town Council hold a meeting in these times and in light of the Governor's proclamation?

Through teleconference or videoconference. I’m wrestling with the public’s rights. As you know, public meeting is not public speaking so any agenda item that requires such will be delayed. Also, we won’t put “public comments” on the agenda.
We will FB Live the meeting simultaneously as well as it being broadcast by Cox but not simultaneously.

What is required for public other than what I’ve mentioned

In another discussion I participate, I heard the suggestion of notifying the public in advance that comments would be received prior to the meeting that would be read into the record by the City Clerk for the allotted time period as if in-person and also heard the suggestion of having a remote location such as City hall or outside that has a video and/or audio feed to the meeting where a person could address the Council/Board. (Citizen and City person running the camera/audio are present in the remote location.)

Senate Bill 661 relaxed some of the requirements for public meetings that fall under the Open Meeting Act. A discussion of that Bill can be found here: https://www.omag.org/news/2020/3/18/coronavirus-emergency-and-the-open-meetings-act

We held our first video-conference Council meeting last night. We had a number of public hearings and we opened City Hall for public comment so that members of the public who may be disabled or who do not have internet access could participate within the Zoom meeting on a laptop at City Hall (no one came in person). Using Zoom we were able to live stream the meeting on our YouTube channel and we read comments and questions from the livestream as well that were germane to the item being discussed. A few hitches but it went surprisingly well.

We held our first video-conference Council meeting last night. We had a number of public hearings and we opened City Hall for public comment so that members of the public who may be disabled or who do not have internet access could participate within the Zoom meeting on a laptop at City Hall (no one came in person). Using Zoom we were able to live stream the meeting on our YouTube channel and we read comments and questions from the livestream as well that were germane to the item being discussed. A few hitches but it went surprisingly well.

Larry,
I am not aware of any “requirements”, but I do think if a local governing body is going to offer a physical public meeting place (instead of just meeting only by videoconference or teleconference) then the local governing body would also have the ability, for health and safety reasons, to implement a spacing requirement for those attending, and perhaps offering space on a first come, first serve nondiscriminatory basis. In my opinion this approach would be even more defensible if the public were offered participation options via videoconference and/or teleconference. This approach follows the policy of the Open Meeting Act and follows the spirit and intent of the SB661 as well as the spirit and intent of Executive Orders requiring social distancing to prevent community spread of the coronavirus.
These are certainly uncharted waters, so certainly each City Attorney and each public body will need to make their best judgement call based on their own particular facts and circumstances. I hope this is helpful.

We had a number of public hearings and we opened City Hall for public comment so that members of the public who may be disabled or who do not have internet access could participate within the Zoom meeting on a laptop at City Hall (no one came in person). Using Zoom we were able to live stream the meeting on our YouTube channel and we read comments and questions from the livestream as well that were germane to the item being discussed. A few hitches but it went surprisingly well. Kathryn L.

I’m wrestling with the public’s rights. As you know, public meeting is not public speaking so any agenda item that requires such will be delayed. Also, we won’t put “public comments” on the agenda. We will FB Live the meeting simultaneously as well as it being broadcast by Cox but not simultaneously.
