Big Item: While not on the agenda, it's important to note that the City of Northport is returning somewhat to previous coronavirus safety protocols as cases continue to spike. Face coverings will not be required for entry into City Hall, but the city will resurrect the practice of taking visitor's temperatures when they enter the building. What's more, additional space between elected officials and members of the public will be observed.
