RELEASE:  IMMEDIATE

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the changes that have been made to Ohio’s Open Meetings Act (which temporarily allows public bodies to conduct meetings and hearings electronically during this state of emergency), the St. Clairsville City Council Meeting will be conducted via TELECONFERENCE on Monday, March 30th at 7:30 P.M.

The Council members, along with Mayor Thalman’s Administrative staff, will be TELECONFERENCE participants.

Two (2) agenda items for the March 30th TELECONFERENCE will include:

• a remote presentation by Aqua Ohio via the TELECONFERENCE; this presentation will provide a refresh for the Council.  An Aqua representative will answer questions posed by Council; and
• Jeff Vaughn, a consulting engineer from Vaughn, Coast & Vaughn, will provide a remote TELECONFERENCE presentation which will bring the Council members up to date on the status of the City’s water.

Public bodies must provide public access to any meeting or hearing that the public would otherwise be entitled to attend.  Therefore, any resident who is interested in dialing into the TELECONFERENCE is encouraged to do so.  Residents will be in a LISTEN ONLY MODE.  Please dial in to the number listed below at 7:30 P.M.  The dial-in number and access code are:
