City of Monroe issued the following announcement on Jan 12.
Protecting the health and welfare of the residents and employees of the City of Monroe continues to be a top priority of the City Council and City Administration, as we continue the delivery of our core essential services during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The City of Monroe, as well as other Michigan public governing bodies, are mandated to hold in-person meetings by virtue of recent State of Michigan legislative changes. There are no current exceptions for public health matters.
As the State Legislature has not modified the Open Meetings Act requirements in light of the current situation, City Council and Administration will continue in-person meetings when a quorum is obtained and business matters demand. This applies to all City boards, committees, and commissions.
As such, and given the recent rise in the coronavirus Omicrom variant, City Administration encourages all staff and visitors to wear masks in City Hall, as city business and open meetings are being conducted.
