City of Johnson City to resume electronic meetings, encourages mask compliance

City Manager Pete Peterson announced Thursday that the City of Johnson City will conduct most meetings, including Board of Commissioners and Planning Commission, electronically until further notice as permitted by Executive Order No. 51, signed by Gov. Bill Lee on June 29, 2020. 

“Our primary goal is the health and safety of this community,” Peterson said. “We have seen a drastic rise in positive COVID-19 cases, and the responsible thing for all of us to do is limit direct contact with others as much as possible.”

Peterson also reiterated that the Washington County Executive Order No. 2, signed by County Mayor Joe Grandy on July 13, 2020, applies within Johnson City city limits. The order requires all persons 12 years or older, including employees or customers of businesses, to wear cloth face coverings in public settings where being in close proximity to others is anticipated, particularly where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. The order is in place until Aug. 3 unless extended or repealed.

“We are relying on our citizens and businesses to do the right thing and comply with this order,” Peterson said. “We encourage everyone to only patronize establishments that have safety measures in place to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.”

The City of Johnson City’s health officer will be monitoring and encouraging businesses to follow the mandate. Inquiries, concerns and requests for assistance may be sent to SaferAtHome@JohnsonCityTN.org or be made by calling 423-434-6021. Businesses are welcome to download and print safety signage from www.johnsoncitytn.org/covid-19.
