COVID-19 Precautions. The Park Tower Building Management requires that no person will enter the Second Floor Conference Room having tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 30 days or having been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 or is believed to have contracted COVID-19 within the last 30 days.

Persons attending this in-person meeting will be required to certify the above prior to entering the Second Floor Conference Room. Additionally, while the mask mandate has been lifted, some Commission staff and potentially other meeting participants are at high risk of severe COVID-19 complications or have autoimmune conditions and may not be protected by the vaccine but are required to attend this in-person meeting. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to wear a mask to the meeting to protect yourself and your family and to provide a safe workplace for those who are more vulnerable and who will also be in attendance. Masks will be made available at the meeting for anyone who would like one.

Reminder: Commission staff includes written comments filed at least 15 days in advance of the meeting in the Commissioners' hearing binders. If you plan to testify and would like the Commissioners to review any document not filed 15 days in advance of the hearing, please bring 12 double-sided copies of the document or section of the document to the meeting.
