On April 1, 2020, Governor Whitmer issued Executive Order 2020-33, which declared both a state of

emergency and a state of disaster across the State of Michigan due to the spread of the novel

coronavirus (COVID-19). COVID-19 is a new strain of coronavirus that had not been previously

identified in humans, can spread easily from person to person, and can result in serious illness or death.

To mitigate the spread of COVID-19, to protect the public health, and provide essential protections to

vulnerable Michiganders, it is crucial that all Michiganders take steps to limit in-person contact. The

critical mitigation measures include social distancing and limiting the number of people interacting at

public gatherings. Therefore, the October 15, 2020 Royal Oak Parks, Recreation and Senior Services

Advisory Board Meeting will be held electronically, in compliance with the Open Meetings Act and

Executive Order 2020-154, as issued by Governor Whitmer on July 17, 2020.
