COVID-19 Update February 11, 2021 On March 13, 2020, the Town of Laytonsville Town Hall was closed because of the Covid-19 virus crisis. Like most people we thought that this would only last for a short time. Nearly a year has gone by and the fear of getting sick has grown. Now that there are 2 or 3 vaccines being used within the United States, the urgency has shifted from concern about getting sick to the length of time it will take to receive our vaccine shots. I am proud of the exceptional service that our staff has continuously provided to our citizens. Beginning in April 2020, we utilized Zoom to reach our Council, staff and residents during this time of distancing. It would be reasonable to expect virtual Town meetings to continue for several months. Although we miss the opportunity to meet “face-to-face” our Town Staff have adopted procedures which continue to allow prompt processing of Town business. In fact, utilizing the Internet has actually improved the Town’s response time when handling some items. Thank you for being considerate and for your patience. Please check the Town’s webpage for activities and information. The Town is using Zoom to meet and to discuss business each month. The public is welcome to join any of our virtual meetings. Our webpage has a calendar of meetings as well as the URL to use in joining the meetings. Do not forget that if you need to contact the Town Hall, you can call on 301-869-0042 and leave a voice message. You will be contacted very soon. If you would like to use email, you can reach the Town Clerk at clerk@comcast.net. Stay well and continue to check our website for updates. James A.
