Mayor Oakes has called for a special meeting of Staunton City Council. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 8, 2020, at 8:15 a.m., local time on the Zoom platform. The purpose of the meeting is to conduct a closed meeting for the purpose of discussing and interviewing candidates for the position of City Attorney.

 I request that the Clerk of Council provide notice of this memorandum in accordance with Chapter II, Section 7, of the Staunton City Charter, post and otherwise widely publicize notice of this memorandum. I also request that the Clerk of Council email a copy of this memorandum to all members of City Council.
