Sangamon County Finance Committee Met Jan. 12.

Here is the agenda provided by the committee:

I. NOTICE OF CHANGE IN MANNER OF HOLDING MEETING 

Pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Illinois Open Meetings Act, the manner of holding the Finance Committee meeting is being changed. 

Governor Pritzker has issued a COVID-19 disaster declaration related to public health, and all of Sangamon  County is covered by the disaster declaration. The Chairman of the Finance Committee has determined that  holding a typical in-person meeting is not practical or prudent because of the disaster. Accordingly, Board  members are not required to personally attend the standing committee meeting; instead, they may, and are  encouraged to, participate by joining a telephone conference call. 

The Chairman has further determined that attendance at the regular meeting location by members of the public  and the press is not feasible due to rules/directives governing the number of persons who may gather in any  space during the disaster and the general need to maintain social distancing. Accordingly, members of the  public and the press will not be allowed to attend the meeting in-person; however, any person who desires to  monitor the meeting telephonically may call (217) 753-6650 to receive the call in number and password for the  same telephone conference call Board members will use to participate in the meeting.  

Committee members and others calling into the meeting telephone conference must telephone the number  provided promptly at 5:00 p.m. Once it is established that a quorum of the committee is present, whether  telephonically or in person, the matters on the agenda will be addressed, regardless of whether all persons who  were provided with the call in number and password have joined the conference call.
