LYME/OLD LYME — Both the Lyme and Old Boards of Selectmen (BOS) are holding virtual meetings today and are scheduled to discuss the reopening of their respective town halls.
The Lyme BOS meets at 3:30 p.m. The board has already scheduled the opening of town hall for Monday, June 8. Depending upon the infection rate in New London County and the availability of testing for staff, the public will have access to the building three days a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with limits on the number of simultaneous visitors and a requirement that all visitors wear masks inside the building and maintain social distancing. Staff will continue working a full week schedule.
The board “very tentatively” plans a return to all normal operating hours for the building beginning Monday, July 6. The board stresses, however, that “this date will, however, be entirely dependent upon the level of infection in the community at that time.”
The Old Lyme BOS meets at 7:30 p.m. and their agenda includes an item ‘Opening Town Hall to the Public – Target Date of Monday, 22 June.’ More detailed information will be available after the meeting.
