After moving January meetings to a virtual format, the City of Bloomington will continue to follow those guidelines in the month of February.
In accordance with the Illinois Open Meetings Act, a written determination was made by Mayor Mboka Mwilambwe that it is in the City’s best interest to continue the hold on in person meetings at this time. The City will stick with the hybrid format for staff and some officials to physically be onsite at meeting locations and will extend the practice of no more than 10 members of the public being allowed to attend meetings. City meetings will continue to be available via Zoom.
For City Council Meetings, individuals wishing to provide emailed public comment must email comments to publiccomment@cityblm.org at least 15 minutes before the start of the meeting. Individuals wishing to speak in-person or remotely may register at cityblm.org/register at least 5 minutes before the start of the meeting for in-person public comment and at least 15 minutes before the start of the meeting for remote public comment.
All City meetings are affected by this determination and the move to the virtual format will be in effect through February 28, 2022, unless revoked before that time by Mayor Mwilambwe and contingent on the renewal of Governor Pritzker’s Disaster Proclamation.
Additional information on how to participate in City meetings will be on each posted agenda. Agendas are posted 48-hours in advance of each meeting and can be found on the City’s website HERE. The meetings will continue to be streamed on the City of Bloomington YouTube channel.
