Adjustments for April 6 City Council meeting

(COLUMBIA, MO) - The Columbia City Council will meet Monday, April 6 to conduct their pre-council meeting at 6 p.m. followed by the council regular meeting at 7 p.m. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), residents will notice some differences in how the meetings are conducted. 

Some council members may attend the meetings through a video conference. Those that do will have video and audio capabilities to fully participate in the meeting. Both the pre-council meeting and regular council meeting will be livestreamed from CoMo.gov and live broadcast on Spectrum 992, Mediacom 80 and CenturyLink 96. There will be a break in both the livestream and broadcast stream if the council goes into closed session. A recording of the open portions of the meetings will be available at CoMo.gov on Tuesday, April 7.
