Civic Center Theater

Special Meeting City Council Agenda


Pursuant to Phase 4 of Governor Pritzker's Executive Order, a maximum of 25 people will be allowed in the Civic Center Theater unless said number is otherwise directed by Order of the Governor. If the number is altered as a result of an Order of the Governor, the City of Decatur will follow and enforce that number. 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.
