PUBLIC NOTICE
Governor JB Pritzker’s Executive Order 2020-43, continues to limit any gatherings of more than fifty
people. Governor JB Pritzker’s Executive Order 2020-07, as amended by Executive Order 2020-33 and
Executive Order 2020-44, requires that public bodies take steps to provide video, audio, and /or telephonic
access to meetings. The CDC recommends social distancing of at least six feet between persons. City
Hall is now open to the public with capacity and social distancing restrictions Monday through Friday from 8
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To comply with these recommendations and requirements, the City is implementing the
following changes and restrictions for the City Council Meeting on September 22, 2020, while complying
with the spirit of the Open Meetings Act:
• A City Council Meeting will be held on September 22, 2020, at 6:00 p.m. in City Council Chambers.
• The City Council Meeting will be conducted in person with the members of the Council, Mayor, City
Manager, Corporation Council, City Clerk, and Deputy City Clerk present. Plexiglass has been installed

• Department heads will be present in Room 404 in order to respond to questions from Council via a
microphone. Department heads will be distanced six feet or more from each other in Room 404.
• The public can physically attend the meeting, but in order to maintain social distancing guidelines there
can only be 15 people from the public inside City Council Chambers at one time. There will be a wait to
enter City Council Chambers once the public capacity of 15 people is met. Due to room capacity
limitations, the public is invited and encouraged to watch through the following channels:
