The coronavirus pandemic and the declaration of a state of emergency by the Governor of Kentucky make it infeasible for the Commission to provide meeting room conditions at a physical location where the public could observe the meeting and not be in close proximity to one another. Consequently, as permitted by the Kentucky Attorney General in OAG 20-05 and SB 150 of the 2020 Kentucky Acts, the video teleconference of the meeting will be made available to the public by live streaming and can be found at omu.org/commission.

If for any reason the video teleconference is interrupted, the meeting will be continued as an audio conference, as permitted by 2020 Kentucky Acts, SB 150, Section 1, subsection (8)(b).
