SUMMARY:
On March 14, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic the City Manager issued a Declaration of State of Local Emergency. On March 20, 2020 pursuant to Littleton City Code Section 1-19-3 City Council had a special meeting to ratify the City Manager’s Declaration of State of Local Emergency. Pursuant to Littleton City Code Section 1-19-3(B)(3) the City Manager’s Declaration of State of Local Emergency would remain in effect until City Council rescinded the State of Local Emergency.
