Rockland County Legislature’s In-Person Meetings Resume June 29

Published

on

NEW CITY, NY – After being closed to the public for more than a year due to the pandemic, the Rockland County Legislature resumes full in-person meetings starting June 29.

“We have been waiting a long time for this day and I know that I and my colleagues are thrilled that it has finally arrived,’ Legislature Chairman Alden H. Wolfe said.

From March 18 through Dec. 28, 2020, 51 meetings were held virtually over the course of 28 nights, each meeting, including committee sessions, publicly live-streamed in compliance with Gov. Cuomo’s orders concerning restrictions on public meetings.

From Jan. 5 through June 15, 2021, 66 meetings were held virtually over the course of 25 nights, including full and committee sessions. In some cases, as vaccinations increased and the number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations decreased over the past several weeks, some legislators were in the Legislature’s Chambers for the live-streaming of the meetings, but the public was still banned.

The Governor ended and rescinded the New York State COVID-19 State of Emergency and all linked Executive orders, including the one regarding public meetings, on Wednesday, allowing the Rockland County Legislature to reopen its sessions to the public. Please wear a mask if you are not fully vaccinated and plan to attend.

This program helps reduce misunderstandings, lowers anxiety, and fosters a more empathetic and safer environment for everyone. 💙
