Cherryville to livestream Feb. 8 City Council meeting; in-person attendance limited
Summary
The City of Cherryville will livestream its Feb. 8 City Council meeting at 6 p.m. to let residents participate remotely amid COVID-19 restrictions; limited in-person seating will be available at the Cherryville Fire Department and virtual commenters must state their full name and home address.
The City of Cherryville will livestream its Feb. 8 City Council meeting at 6 p.m., Mayor H.L. Beam said in a city press release Friday, offering an online option so residents can participate while observing COVID-19 social-distancing guidelines.
"We want to keep citizens informed and engaged in the work that the City Council is doing on their behalf," Mayor H.L. Beam said. "By streaming the meeting on [the] city web site live, we can still get questions and input from our community in real time as the meeting is occurring while maintaining a safe distance from each other."
The release says residents may attend in person at the Cherryville Fire Department, 411 E. Church Street, if they are not sick, are not running a fever and comply with a "no handshake" policy. To follow social-distancing rules that reduce gathering sizes to 10 people, seating in the training room will be limited and some attendees may have to sit in the lobby, where they will still be able to hear the meeting.
Remote viewing will be available via the Cherryville Fire Department Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/CherryvilleFD/) and the City of Cherryville website (http://www.cityofcherryville.com/), beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Feb. 8. Viewers who wish to comment or ask questions during the meeting will be required to give their full name and home address. The city advised that messages containing profanity or that city staff deem unprofessional will not be shared with the council in the open meeting.
The release lists Jeff Cash as media contact and City Manager and provides two phone numbers for public input and information: 704-435-1730 (call-in for input) and 704-435-1711 (general information).
