The Tucson Mayor and City Council may soon return to in-person meetings after two years of meeting virtually.
Council members discussed that possibility during their afternoon study session Wednesday.
Council member Paul Cunningham noted that university students have returned to in-person classes
"If the University of Arizona can take 14,000 people — allegedly with masks on — a time then I don't understand how we can't have a meeting in chambers," he said.
Councilman Steve Kozachik agreed but urged the council to proceed with caution, because the COVID-19 pandemic is still not over.
"They still were 40 fatalities in Pima County last week and 382 in the state, so it's not as though this is completely behind us," he told the council
Council members agreed to resume meeting at City Hall either in two or four weeks, depending on how a majority of members feel.
Witnesses for public hearings will be allowed to testify remotely and seating for the public will be limited.
