PUBLIC NOTICE
Governor JB Pritzker’s Executive Order 2020-69, as extended by Executive Order 2020-74, limits meetings
to the lesser of 25 persons or 25% of the overall room capacity. Governor JB Pritzker’s Executive Order
2020-07, as amended by Executive Order 2020-33, Executive Order 2020-44, Executive Order-59, and
Executive Order 74, 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. To
comply with these recommendations and requirements, the City is implementing the following changes and
restrictions for the City Council Meeting on January 12, 2021, while complying with the spirit of the Open
Meetings Act:
• A City Council Meeting will be held on January 12, 2021, 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
between desks to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
• There is a room capacity restriction of 25 persons inside City Council Chambers at one time. There will
be a wait to enter City Council Chambers once the overall capacity of 25 persons is met. Due to room
capacity limitations, the public is invited and strongly encouraged to watch through the following channels:
o City of Peoria live stream at http://peoriail.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?publish_id=8

physically present during the City Council Meeting. Members of the public can send their comments to City
Clerk, Beth Ball by 12:00 p.m. on January 12, 2021, due to room capacity restrictions. Public comments
can be sent to the City Clerk, in writing, at bball@peoriagov .org or via fax at 309-494-8574. The email or

include your name and address. If a member of the public is physically present for the City Council Meeting
and they already sent a public comment in writing to the City Clerk, then they will have the option to make
that previously submitted written comment live instead of the comment being read by the City Clerk.
