SPECIAL SESSION (BUDGET WORKSHOP #1) - 6:00 P.M.

NOTICE OF POSSIBLE TELEPHONIC PARTICIPATION

Pursuant to Section 418.016 of the Texas Government Code, on March 16, 2020, the Governor of the State of Texas granted the Office of the Attorney General's request for the temporary suspension of certain provisions of the Texas Open Meetings Act to allow for telephonic or videoconference meetings of governmental bodies that are accessible to the public in an effort to reduce in-person meetings that assemble large groups of people, as a precautionary measure to contain the spread of novel coronavirus COVID-19.

As that temporary suspension remains in effect, notice is hereby given that individual members of the City Council of the City of Bellaire, Texas, may choose to participate in this Special Session telephonically rather than in person.

Members of the public may view a live broadcast of the meeting by visiting the City's website at
