City of Bancroft issued the following announcement on Apr. 10.
In order to help stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus, this regular meeting of the Bancroft City Council will be held electronically. Chapter 21.8 of the Iowa Code does permit an electronic meeting where all members participate remotely when an in-person meeting is impossible or impractical, which is certainly true during this crisis. On March 19, 2020, Governor Reynolds issued a Proclamation of Disaster Emergency which included a suspension of Iowa laws that would prevent the use of electronic meetings or the limitation on the number of people present at an in-person meeting site. The agenda and the City’s social media had this message posted more than 24 hours in advance to give instructions on how others could participate in the meeting: Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the City of Bancroft will be holding this regular city council meeting electronically via a conference call. If you would like to participate, just before the meeting start time,
