* President Trump has declared a national emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) outbreak.  Consistent with that, Governor Holcomb has issued an Executive Order regarding certain orders and directives in response to COVID-19. The Brownsburg Town Manager has issued a press release regarding the Town’s continuing efforts to curtail the spread of COVID-19, including a direction that based on guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and the State of Indiana, Brownsburg Town Hall, Brownsburg Parks administrative office, and field offices will close to the public effective Wednesday, March 18 to Monday, April 13, 2020.  The Town of Brownsburg is following the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control concerning public gatherings.

Governor Holcomb’s Executive Order 20-09 suspends the requirement of governing bodies of public agencies to explicitly adopt a policy for electronic participation and suspend the requirement to have any members be physically present for meetings deemed to be essential. (See Ind. Code § 5-14-1.5-3.6(c), (f), (g) & (h)). All other provisions of Ind. Code § 5-14-1.5 et seq. remain in effect. Therefore, for the duration of this public health emergency, all governing bodies may meet by videoconference or by telephone conferencing so long as a quorum of members participate and any meeting is made available to members of the public and media. Any political subdivision or entity subject to the provisions of Ind. Code § 5­-14-1.5-3.5 may comply with the provisions of section 3.6 as modified by Executive Order 20-04 and as amended in Executive Order 20-09 in conducting public meeting for the duration of this public health emergency.  At the date and time of the scheduled public meeting, any member of the public may also view this meeting livestream.  In addition, a recording of the livestream meeting will be available on the Town’s website until at least the meeting minutes for that meeting are adopted.  Please note that although public attendance is strongly discouraged until the threat of the Coronavirus subsides, the public is still welcome to attend the meeting at Town Hall; provided however the number of attendees permitted in the meeting room will be limited in accordance with the recommendations that have been made for social distancing in addition to any other restrictions that may be determined reasonably necessary during this time. To assist the public and members of the press during this emergency declaration, comments or questions regarding Town matters can always continue to be directed to the Town Manager at jeder@brownsburg.org or 317-852-1120.
