Thank you for your email. Page 5 of our current emergency order was updated to add the following sentence, “To the extent that such gatherings are composed of those who have been fully vaccinated and other individuals approved by the CDC to gather with the fully vaccinated, this section does not apply to such a gathering.” It has been attached for your information and review.
Therefore, masking and social distancing is not required for groups of 50+ if attendees have been vaccinated.
This will be discussed during tomorrow’s Commission Meeting (item #4). You are welcome to participate as follows:
Attending virtually: The public may also attend virtually through Cox Channel 12, Facebook, and the County's Video on Demand website. The Board will take Public Comment in person or by calling 1-800-876-7516. Attendees must wear a facial covering at all times. Public seating will be made available up to the capacity that permits adequate social distancing.
Public comment: The public may submit comments, written or photographic documents to the Board through email ([log in to unmask]) before the meeting or by participating when prompted to by the Chair of the Board. Virtual participation is available through the public comment message line. Callers will be put in a queue, and prompted when it is their turn to speak. TO AVOID FEEDBACK, CALLERS TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT MESSAGE LINE MUST TURN DOWN THEIR MEETING SOUND WHEN ADDRESSING THE COMMISSION. Callers should state their names and limit comments to two minutes. When prompted for in-person public comment, in-person participants should follow the direction of the Chair to participate.

Dear County Commissioners,
It has come to the attention of the public in Alachua County there will be a new set of policies and legal regulations being voted on. I’m strongly against these new policies and regulations for they do not go along with the science and numbers. The virus has subsided immensely and so there is no reason for stronger policies.
Our economy in Alachua County can no longer prosper with these kinds of restrictions. This will damage so many people’s businesses and lives.
I beseech you all to vote against these new policies. Being a resident of this county since 1978 gives me the right to request this.
Thank you for your attention to this email.
Peggy E Roberts
