City Hall will be closed to the public during Monday night’s Great Bend City Council meeting, city officials announced Monday.

“In order to effectively social distance and reduce the potential of exposure to COVID-19, City Council, department heads and scheduled speakers will be the only people allowed in City Hall during City Council meetings starting tonight, July 20, 2020,” a statement from Community Coordinator Christina Hayes stated. 

“The public can watch the council meeting LIVE on Facebook at ‘Great Bend City Council’ page and it will be uploaded as a link to our website on Tuesday and viewable on Cox City Channel 20. These options meet the needs of the Open Meetings Act and is the best way to keep staff and council safe. 

“We apologize for the inconvenience. We want to be extremely careful with exposure in close quarters. Should you have additional questions, please email kfrancis@greatbendks.net.”
