Henderson County Fiscal Court and Henderson City/County Planning Commission will hold a joint work session on Tuesday, September 15, 2020 beginning at 5:30 pm.
The location will be the Henderson County Fiscal Courtroom, 3rd Floor, 20 N. Main St. Henderson, KY.
The focus will be to review revisions to the County’s Zoning Ordinance.
Per KY Attorney General Opinion 20-05, public attendance will not be permitted at this meeting because, due to the highly contagious nature of COVID-19, it is not feasible for the City to maintain order and abide by recommended and mandated precautions while providing a central physical location for public viewing. The reasons why a public viewing is not feasible at this time include:
Gov. Beshear’s declared state of emergency outlined in executive order 2020-215.
Gov. Beshear’s March 12, 2020 Memo recommending all state boards and commissions employ video teleconferencing.
President Trump’s proclamation of March 13, 2020 declaring a national state of emergency due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
On March 15, 2020 the Center for Disease Control announced interim guidance suggesting all gatherings of 10 or more people that potentially serve at-risk populations be cancelled.
Gov. Beshear’s executive order 2020-257 that suspended all non-life sustaining in-person government activities.
Senate Bill 150, which was signed into law by the Governor, on March 30, 2020, that allows all public agencies to conduct meetings by video or audio teleconference.
The meeting will be broadcast on Facebook at the Henderson County Government page (https://www.facebook.com/180323669043402/live/).
