Utila Municipality 2020-05-18

Summary of council meeting at 2020-05-18 12:00 and discussion of municipal projects

Thanks to everyone for staying home during the quarantine, this helped with ensuring we remain COVID-19 free.

Request to read and obey the rules for local commerce, it’s a two week trial and may not be renewed if the island doesn’t follow the rules. Note from Paul: I have summarised the rules on the curfew page.

There is a meeting at Officina La Mujer at 15:00 today to go over the biosecurity measures with restaurants. If you own or operate a restaurant, please do to this meeting.

Projects:

• Build a new lighthouse:
  • Island is due for a new light house and rebuilding it will help with monitoring movement in and out of the island, expect it to provide long term value as the world changes
