The City Commission will also meet at 5:30 p.m. for a work session to discuss a community development assistance program report. The board will meet at 6:30 p.m. for another work session to discuss the Decatur Land Trust.

On the agenda for the regular meeting is the face covering ordinance and a possible extension of the ordinance until June 21.

The City Commission first passed the ordinance on July 10, 2020. It has been extended a few times since, most recently in April.

Mayor Patti Garrett said at the April 19 meeting that she felt it was appropriate for the city to consider the measure on a month-by-month basis.

“By doing this once a month, we remind everyone that it is important and also that we are looking at it regularly,” Garrett said.

The City Commission will additionally hear a presentation on the revised 2020-2021 budget and the proposed 2021-2022 budget.

Other items on the agenda include adopting the tentative 2021 millage rates, implementing phase two of the solar resiliency program and setting a budget for creating the clean energy plan.
