Governor Pritzker’s current disaster proclamation is in effect until February 6, 2022. As such, public
meetings may continue to be held remotely in accordance with Public Act (P.A.) 101-0640. As of August
30, 2021, through Governor Pritzker’s Executive Order 2021-20, 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

the following changes and restrictions for the City Council Meeting on January 25, 2022 while complying
with the spirit of the Open Meetings Act:
A City Council Meeting will be held on January 25, 2022 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 Counsel, 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 strongly encouraged to watch through the following
channels:
- City of Peoria live stream at http://peoriail.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?publish_id=8
