Until further notice, all city staff travel to North Carolina is prohibited. The North Carolina state sanctioned LGBT discrimination is inconsistent with city of Madison policy.

Please notify my office and the city attorney if you feel that we have a contractual obligation to attend a meeting in North Carolina and the city attorney will assess the situation and advise me with a recommendation if an exception should be made.
