Why is the SID ordinance being discussed now, while residents cannot physically be present in the building due to the current public health crisis?

By discussing the ordinance now it allows the township to put the proposed SID in motion, to be able to operate in 2021. In the draft Special Improvement District ordinance, a tax would not be collected until the budget is formally adopted, which would occur in the 2021 fiscal year. 

Meetings are permitted by the Division of Local Government Services to be done remotely through platforms such as ZOOM, Webex, livestreaming or others that allow the public to participate in the public comment portion of a meeting.
