A low-capacity overflow seating area is set up in the lobby on the second floor of Administration Building I. Individuals seated in the lobby can view the meeting on screens.
Residents who wish to participate in meetings are encouraged to continue using the virtual option due to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines still in place inside the Board Chambers.
