Sangamon County Finance Committee met Dec. 22.

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.
