To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Statesville City Council continues to limit the number of people who can attend its meetings.

The next council meeting is scheduled for Monday, November 16, at 7 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers, 227 S. Center Street.

These meetings are open to the public, but because of the increased number of COVID-19 cases in our area, attendance inside the Council Chambers is limited to not more than 30 persons in the audience.

Those in attendance will be asked to wear a mask and sit six feet apart from non-related persons. Prior to entering the council chambers, each person will be asked to register and have their temperature checked. Attendees will wait in the first floor lobby until they are directed to the council chambers at the appropriate time.

The public is encouraged to watch the meetings live on cable channels 20 and 1302, and online at www.statesvillenc.net/live.

This is a public comment meeting. Those wishing to speak are encouraged to email their comments to clerk@statesvillenc.net prior to the meeting. The comments will be read out loud during the meeting.

The agenda can be found online at www.statesvillenc.net.
