DeKalb County Board of Commissioners Set to Hold First In-Person Meeting Since the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic
Minor changes will be made to previous meeting format
Decatur, GA – On Tuesday, October 25, the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners will resume in-person meetings. Both regular business and committee meetings will be held at the Manuel J. Maloof Auditorium Center, located at 1300 Commerce Dr., Decatur, GA.
The Board of Commissioners’ Presiding Officer, Robert Patrick, made the announcement at last week’s Committee of the Whole meeting.
“As we transition back to in-person meetings, this is a wonderful opportunity to increase our face-to-face engagement with county residents,” Commissioner Patrick said.
The public is encouraged to arrive early, as seating capacity will be limited to 60-70 people. Similar to pre-pandemic rules, members of the public wishing to address the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners will fill-out a comment card before speaking. Once a comment card is received, those wishing to speak will be directed to microphones located at the left and right of the auditorium.
There will be limited street parking around the Maloof building and in the Trinity Parking Garage located at the intersection of Commerce Drive and W Trinity Place. Tuesday’s meeting begins at 9am and face masks are encouraged, but not required.
Currently, the technology within the Maloof Auditorium is limited and is not able to accommodate hybrid meetings. However, residents are still able to watch remotely via DCTV’s webpage, DCTV Home Page | DeKalb County GA or on cable channel 23.
