PUBLIC NOTICE
As of August 30, 2021, Governor JB Pritzker issued Executive Order 2021-20 requiring face coverings that
cover the nose and mouth for individuals in Illinois who are age two or over and able to medically tolerate a
face covering (a mask or cloth face covering) when in an indoor public place. The CDC continues to
recommend social distancing of at least six feet.
City Hall is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:00 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 28, 2021 while complying with the spirit of the Open Meetings Act:
A City Council Meeting will be held on September 28, 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.
There is a room capacity restriction of 25 citizens inside City Council Chambers at one time due to seating
and social distancing requirements. Seating will be available on a first come first served basis.
There will be a wait to enter City Council Chambers once the overall capacity of 25 citizens is met. Due to
room capacity limitations, the public is invited and encouraged to watch through the following channels:
- City of Peoria live stream at http://peoriail.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?publish_id=8
- YouTube live stream at https://www.youtube.com/user/cityofpeoriatv
- Television broadcast through local channel 22

physically present during the City Council Meeting. Members of the public can send their comments to City
Clerk, Stefanie Tarr by 2:00 P.M. on September 28, 2021. Public comments can be sent to the City Clerk,
in writing, at starr@peoriagov.org or via fax at 309-494-8574. The email or fax should be labeled “Public
Comment for September 28, 2021 City Council Meeting,” and we ask that you 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.
Media will be allowed to physically attend the meeting; however, due to capacity restrictions only one
person from a media outlet will be allowed inside City Council Chambers.
Temperature screenings are required for access inside City Hall. Face coverings are required to be worn
