CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION AGENDA
Pursuant to Phase 4 of Governor Pritzker's Executive Order, a maximum of 50 people will be allowed in the Civic Center Theater. An in-person meeting of all members of the City Council of the City of Decatur as well as in-person meetings of all members of other Boards and Commissions of the City of Decatur is not practical or prudent because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

| | | | | | | | | II. | Study Session: Study Sessions are less formal meetings of the City Council called to discuss broad policy themes and obtain input from the governing body about proposals and initiatives that are still being developed. No formal votes are taken at Study Sessions, and no informal directions expressed at Study Sessions bind the City Council, or its individual members, to vote in a certain manner at a future City Council meeting. The Mayor will accept public comments at different times on the agenda topics below as council and staff discussions proceed. Members of the public should limit their remarks to three (3) minutes, unless granted additional time by the council. | | | |

No immediate response will be given by City Council or City staff members. Citizens are to give their documents (if any) to the Police Officer for distribution to the Council. When the Mayor determines that all persons wishing to speak in accordance with this policy have done so, members of the City Council and key staff may make comments. | | | |
