With the lifting of the Clay County Public Health (CCPHC) emergency order today, the City of Liberty will no longer require masks inside City facilities. The CCPHC still recommends that unvaccinated individuals should continue wearing masks and social distancing when possible.
In addition, in-person City Council, Boards and Commission meetings will begin returning to city facilities in June with modifications.
- Boards, Commissions and Committee Meetings – will begin transitioning to in person and at regularly scheduled times. For those cases that require/allow for public comment, such comments may be accepted in person or via email (and read into the record) during the month of June.
- City Council Meetings – Starting June 14, City Council meetings will resume in-person, in Council Chambers, at the regularly scheduled time. Social distancing will still be in place for the City Council, staff and members of the public. Members of the public who have an item on the Agenda (including those providing Public Hearing comments) will be given first priority for seating. Information on how to view the meeting will be provided to the public on the agendas that are posted on the Thursday preceding each meeting in City Hall or online at www.libertyMissouri.gov/LibertyLive. For the month of June, Public Hearing comments will be accepted in-person and via email to publiccomment@libertymo.gov.
No in-person comments will be accepted under Citizen’s Participation during the month of June. These comments/questions are to be submitted to the publiccomment@libertymo.gov email. They will be provided to City Council Members in their entirety and also read into the record (within the provided time limit). This stipulation will be re-evaluated at the end of June.
The Liberty Community Center is fully open and the outdoor pools will open as planned on May 29. Liberty Community Center plans to continue offering virtual options to members for the land group exercise classes through the end of May. Masks will still be required on the Liberty Access Bus per federal guidelines.
Please remember that private and public businesses, places of worship, and schools may require masks, social distancing, and other restrictions at their discretion.
