The City of West Hollywood will have a “hybrid” city council meeting accessible both in-person and virtual teleconference at the next regular city council meeting on Monday, October 18, 2021, at 6 p.m.. The City will monitor Los Angeles County’s COVID-19 daily positivity rates and orders from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to make any changes, as appropriate.
A hybrid meeting means members of the City Council, the City Manager, the City Attorney, and a few key staff members will attend the in-person meeting. Staff presentations and related participation will take place via the virtual teleconference.
The City of West Hollywood originally added a special hybrid city council meeting – with limited-capacity in-person attendance at the City’s Council Chambers/Public Meeting Room as well as participation by virtual teleconference format – to its July meeting schedule on Wednesday, July 21, 2021. However, due to the rise in the COVID-19 Delta variant, the West Hollywood stuck to it’s virtual programing during the summer months.
Community members may participate in viewing the meeting and in providing public comment, as follows:
