The Coronavirus is forcing changes in government public meeting protocols .

 The Inyo County Board of Supervisors Meeting Notice:

Board of Supervisors

The regular Indy County Board of Supervisors Meeting will be held in Independence tomorrow (March 17) as scheduled. However, in order to practice recommended social distancing, capacity of the Board chambers will be substantially reduced, and two Board members will be participating by teleconference.

We (the County of Inyo) are recommending that as opposed to attending the Board meeting in person, to the extent possible, citizens watch the meeting on-line at https://inyococa.civicclerk.com/web/home.aspx. It is also recommended that public comments or comments on specific items be emailed to the Assistant Board Clerk at [email protected] prior to 10 a.m., March 17, 2020.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. —Inyo County Board of Supervisors
