This meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. with all public participation taking place remotely. The meeting will be live streamed at cityofpensacola.com/video.

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

The meeting agenda and backup materials are available online at cityofpensacola.com.

While City Council understands the importance of this item and the desire for many to participate in this discussion in person, City Council has also steadfastly maintained its desire to keep citizens, council members and city staff safe.
