UG Commission to vote tonight on relaxing some COVID restrictions

The Unified Government Commission will vote tonight on relaxing some COVID-19 restrictions.

At the 5 p.m. Thursday, April 29, meeting, the commission discussed changing its COVID-19 restrictions to ones that are similar to changes made earlier this week in Kansas City, Missouri, and Jackson County, Missouri.

During the discussion, six commissioners said they favored changing the restrictions to ones that are similar to Kansas City, Missouri, while one commissioner wanted the restrictions to remain the same. No vote was taken at the 5 p.m. meeting.

While “COVID ordinance” was on the 5 p.m. agenda, it was not on the 7 p.m. agenda earlier today, and it will be added to the 7 p.m. agenda tonight, according to UG officials.
