Notes: With thousands of diagnosed cases of COVID-19 in Scott County and all signs pointing to a continued rise in infections for the foreseeable future, I have issued this order to require all public meetings held by the City to be conducted via our video conferencing account (GoToMeeting) which is accessible by the public via the City's website. In order to facilitate this, I have asked Deputy Clerk, Katie Enloe to make sure meetings are posted to the City's website no later than the Friday the week before the scheduled meeting, added to our online calendar, posted to the City's bulletin boards outside City Hall, posted to the Riverdale Residents Group on Facebook and, when possible, communicated to our citizens via email. All notices should include information on how to join the meeting and a hypertext link to the online meeting room. I have also asked all meeting chairs to open the online facility at least fifteen minutes prior to the start of any meeting so the public can join at their convenience. I will re-evaluate this executive order when the case count in Scott County appears to have ebbed or by March 1, 2021, whichever comes first. An addendum to this order or an alternative order rescinding this one will be issued at that time.
