PUBLIC INFORMATION:

City Council, CRA to Host Virtual Meetings Next Week

The Pensacola City Council and Community Redevelopment Agency will host three meetings next week: the City Council Agenda Conference, the CRA special meeting, and the regular City Council meeting. To limit the potential spread of COVID-19, members of the public wishing to attend or participate in the meeting may only do so via video live stream or telephone. Some City Council members may also attend the meetings via telephone or video conference.

This change in format is consistent with Executive Order 20-69 issued by Gov. Ron DeSantis and has been adopted at the direction of Council President Jewel Cannada-Wynn in consultation with the City Attorney.
