Saline County Health Officer Jason Tiller is scheduled to discuss Phase 3 of the county's reopening plan during the county commission meeting Tuesday.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday in room 107 of the City-County Building, 300 West Ash Street.
A time for public comment is scheduled near the beginning of the meeting.
Saline County noted on the agenda for the meeting that as it transitions back to regular operations while maintaining social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19, there will be limited public seating for the meeting. Up to five members of the public will be accommodated on a first-come, first-seated basis in the commission meeting room and up to two speakers at a time will be permitted to line up to provide comment to the commission. Overflow seating will be provided in an adjacent room if necessary.
You also can view county commission meetings on Salina Media Connection, either via Cox Cable Channel 20 or online at www.salinatv.org.
In addition, interested persons can provide public comment by dialing (785) 621-0800, entering participant code 782956 followed by #, and then dialing *9 to alert the moderator that they wish to comment. Although commissioners will be able to hear comments, the public may have difficulty hearing commission business through the telephone bridge.
Commissioners are being asked to reaffirm Tiller's issuing of reopening orders for the county. The county currently is in Phase 2. Unless the numbers of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths spike, Tiller plans to move Saline County into Phase 3 at 12:01 a.m Friday.
