TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Terre Haute City Council could be making changes due to the coronavirus scare. At Thursday night’s meeting council president George Azar said they would be monitoring the coronavirus situation closely.

As of right now, nothing will change for the council, but he said if the situation worsens they will consider changing the rules of their meeting.

That could mean only letting in only those directly involved in business before the council and no one else. He hopes things will clear up before their next meeting on April 2nd. Azar plans to meet with the city attorney to see how limiting public attendance can legally be done without violating the states open door law.

The council also formed a 16-person committee of elected officials and stakeholders to try and address downtown parking issues.
