City of Hays

At the Thursday Hays City Commission meeting, Resolution 2020-016 extending the city of Hays mask Ordinance 3988 will be considered.

Seating in the city commission chambers is limited so that proper social distancing can be maintained.

All city commission meetings are broadcast live via Nex-Tech’s YouTube channel, on Nex-Tech cable channel 103, and on Eagle cable channel 14 or 614.

Public comment will be accepted in writing and can also be emailed to [email protected].

Residents are encouraged to use these electronic alternatives if at all possible.

Individuals planning on attending might be required to wait in the hallway or outside. If seating capacity in the commission chambers is reached, people wishing to provide comment will be allowed into the chambers one at a time.

Lastly, face coverings will be required. Persons not wearing a mask must produce a note from a medical doctor exempting them from the ordinance.
