Riley County commissioners made the decision today to continue to hold their weekly meetings.
Meetings will take place on Monday and Thursday as usual at their designated times. The meetings will be open to the public but limited capacity. Half of the chairs will be removed to coincide with social distancing standards set up by the CDC.
All doors to the building will remained locked with employees stationed at the door during meeting times. They will ask anyone wanting to enter the building what they are there for.
Commissioners John Ford wanted to keep the two meeting structure intact since the will be discussing budget soon. This will help maintain a sense on consistency while they work on next year’s budget.
Commissioners also approved reducing the hours of operation at the transfer station from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The station will also be closed on Saturdays. This is in effect until further notice.
