Work Session Meeting, November 4, 2020

Due to the COVID-19 health concerns, the format of the City Commission Work Session will be held in a virtual video-conferencing environment. City Commission members and City staff will attend the meeting via a remote location, using a virtual meeting method.

In order to honor the Right of Participation and the Right to Know (Article II, Sections 8 and 9 of the Montana Constitution), modifications have also been made for public participation.  Public participation is welcome in the following ways:

• Attend in person.  Refrain from attending in person if you are not feeling well.  The City will require social distancing at the meeting, and may limit the number of persons in the meeting room according to applicable health guidelines. Public may view and participate from the Gibson Room.
• Provide public comments via email.  Comments may be sent via email before 12:00 PM on Wednesday, November 4, 2020, to: commission@greatfallsmt.net.  Include the agenda item or agenda item number in the subject line, and include the name of the commenter and either an address or whether a city resident. Due to tracking and dissemination requirements, written communication must be received by that time in order to be shared with the City Commission and appropriate City staff; and, will be so noted in the official record of the meeting.
• Call-in.  The mayor will announce specific public comment periods.  At that time, the public may call 406-761-4786 to provide public comment specific to that agenda item.  All callers will be in a queued system and are asked to remain on hold and be patient.  Calls will be taken in the order in which they are received.  When your call is answered, mute the online or television audio to avoid time-delayed background noise/feedback, and do not use speakerphone when commenting.  Callers will be restricted to customary time limits.  We ask for your patience in the event there are technical difficulties.
