The decision comes after some City Council members were quarantined due to exposure to a colleague with COVID-19. Councilman Scott Wilson told News4Jax on Monday that he had tested positive for COVID-19, and at the time he said that he had some nasal congestion but no other symptoms.

Additionally, the memo says plexiglass will be arriving on Monday and installed in council chambers.

The committee of the whole will still meet regarding Lot J as scheduled on Nov. 19.
