The doors of Fort Scott city hall were open to city commissioners and only a few city staff for a live-streamed meeting. By the end of Tuesday evening’s, session, the City of Fort Scott had implemented two new policies to aid the city in its fight against COVID-19.
The first is Resolution No. 9-2020: a local state of emergency. Although Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has already issued a stay-at-home order, declaring this resolution will help speed up the scheduling process for commission meetings. Normally, the city is required to give a 24-hour public notice if a meeting will be held, but this order drops that time down to 30 minutes.
