What is the City of Weatherford doing?

Spacing out during in-person meetings is suggested. All public meetings are live streamed on our website here. We have an internal COVID Continuity team that meets once a weekly to track numbers, enact policies and ensure that all of our policies and practices are exceeding the expectations set forth by the CDC and the office of the Texas Governor. 

--------------------------------

On Friday, March 20, 2020, Weatherford Mayor Paul Paschall issued a Proclamation Declaring a Local State of Disaster in response to evidence of community spread of COVID-19 within the state of Texas.

The proclamation, made pursuant to the Texas Disaster Act of 19755, and relating to Emergency Management and Public Health, pursuant to Chapter 418 of the Texas Government Code.

--------------------------------

Weatherford is modifying training programs and gatherings for staff to protect and prevent the possible spread of the virus to employees that could ultimately impact patrons.

As well as we are meeting regularly with staff to evaluate City operations and programs and events to determine any specific course of action.
