The City of Watkinsville has scheduled a work session from 5:30 PM to 7 PM on Tuesday, August 11, 2020 to discuss Police Chief Brock’s recommendations for traffic calming on local roadways and share information about the use of CARES Act funds.

This month the Mayor, City Council, Attorney, staff, those making appearances, media, and no more than six (6) citizens will meet in person at City Hall (191 VFW Drive).

Due to Coronavirus, in person attendance is limited, so the city may comply with the CDC recommendation to maintain six (6) feet of distance between persons. To comply with Governor Kemp’s Executive Order, attendees are encouraged to wear a mask to cover their nose and mouth.

Access to the simultaneous broadcast of the meeting will be available via RingCentral through an internet link or by phone which is provided below. In addition, information on how to connect is posted at City Hall and available online at www.cityofwatkinsville.com.

Please note that upon entry, all RingCentral participants will be muted and their cameras disabled.
