Citywide Public Health Emergency Extended Through July 10

Coconut Telegraph

The City of Sarasota has extended its declaration of a local citywide public health emergency through July 10 following a weekly review, as required by the City Charter, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The emergency order issued Thursday by City Manager Tom Barwin, in consultation with Mayor Jen Ahearn-Koch and City Attorney Robert Fournier, also extends the deadline for amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan until Oct. 2. It is anticipated that the processing of Comprehensive Plan amendments will be extended by about two months. Face coverings are now required in all indoor and outdoor public spaces in City limits, whenever proper social distancing cannot be maintained in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. The temporary regulation, which took effect July 1, will be in place for 60 days.
