Those wishing to attend Clark County Council meetings in person will again have the opportunity as the council voted to re-open the doors of the hearing room to the public beginning Aug. 3.
The 10 a.m. public hearing on that day marks the first meeting where the public is allowed to attend in person since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. A release from the county stated the meetings will have a hybrid approach where council members, staff and attendees can take part either in person or remotely through the WebEx platform. Meeting agendas, participation instructions and a public comment form are on the county’s website at clark.wa.gov/councilors/clark-county-council-meetings.
Other county boards and commissions will also be able to conduct meetings in a hybrid format, the release stated.
Those entering county buildings are subject to Washington state guidance regarding face coverings, the release stated, so people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will not be required to wear masks. Those not fully vaccinated must wear masks in county buildings.
