Please note the following information from the Putnam County Legislature regarding the 2020 State of the County Address.

The Special Meeting of the Legislature scheduled for this evening at Tilly Foster will continue as scheduled however County Executive, MaryEllen Odell will not be delivering the full State of the County address. She will however be presenting to the Legislature with written materials which satisfy the requirements outlined in section 7.09 of the Putnam County Charter.

This meeting remains open to the public however we strongly urge residents to adhere to CDC guidance regarding large public gatherings. In addition Commissioner of Health Dr. Michael Nesheiwat recommends that the public avoid any large gatherings.

This is being done out of an abundance of caution as we remain vigilant about the Coronavirus. The County Executive continues to oversee the County’s response to the virus and the Department of Health has instituted daily internal coronavirus briefings with key partner agencies and organizations to keep all necessary groups informed on the latest information.

The County Executive’s full presentation will be rescheduled at a later date still to be determined.
