PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Philadelphia City Council will return to live in-person meetings this fall.
Council President Darrell Clarke made that announcement in a letter sent Wednesday.
The move follows two years of remote and virtually-conducted business due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Clarke said that though the people's business in City Council will return to in-person, Council members and staff will continue to practice safe health measures, and mask-wearing is recommended. Citizens attending Council meetings will be given a mask to use.
