TROY — Troy City Council has planned for a presentation from the Miami County Health District Commissioner Dennis Propes at its meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 1, at the Bravo Room at Hobart Arena.

On Jan 19, at the regular city council meeting more than 100 people packed inside the Hobart Arena’s Bravo Room — the majority in support of Mayor Robin Oda and her stance on state-mandated mask-wearing. Oda has been vocal regarding her stance on the pandemic mandates including keeping business open, mask-wearing should be “requested, not required” and defied the Miami County Public Health by hosting the city’s annual Christmas Tree lighting after Troy Main Street canceled their involvement after the governor’s order to limit crowds to 10 people or less.

The meeting will be broadcast live on the city’s website and its Facebook page as well as its recording posted on the city’s YouTube channel.
