TRENDING TOPICS

Legislating in the Age of COVID-19

Municipalities and counties are on the frontline of the COVID-19 crisis every day and facing its many challenges head-on. Processes are shifting, health safety standards are flexing, and businesses and citizens are eager for guidelines on how to react and cope. Many local governments are responding with legislation that covers a wide range of critical topics, including social distancing, virtual meetings, and face coverings, just to name a few.

We invite you to stay up-to-date through our new blog series “Trending Legislation: Hot Topics for Local Governments.” We’ll be examining these new legislative trends, offering examples from some of our client communities to help you draft or amend your own ordinances, and providing helpful resources for each topic. 

SOCIAL MEDIA AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Promoting Healthy Behaviors

Health and well-being has never been more top of mind than it is right now. And finding ways to help our communities to cope and engage in healthy behavior has become very important in light of the isolating challenges of the coronavirus outbreak. Local governments are using social media to stay in touch, check the pulse of the community, and share resources.

POLL QUESTION

Survey Says…

In our previous DeCoder poll we asked what has been your favorite activity to cope with COVID-19 quarantine and your most popular boredom busters in a 3-way tie were: baking bread or trying a new recipe, doing puzzles, and cleaning a closet, garage, or shed. 

This month’s question is a matter of good taste. We’d like to know if you could give municipal government an ice cream flavor, what would it be? Vote now for one of these mouth-watering choices:

• MuniMint
• Planner’s Peanut
• Metro-Neopolitan
• Townie Brownie
• Citizen Candy Cane
• Cookies and Code
• Caramel City Center
• S’More Taxes
