Evanston City Council meetings have been modified during the COVID-19 pandemic, based on Governor Pritzker’s Order, which waives some requirements of the Illinois Open Meetings Act to allow local governments and other public bodies to hold “remote” meetings to help control the spread of COVID-19.
The City of Evanston is amending its HUD Citizen Participation Plan, as allowed under the CARES Act. These amendments are based on HUD’s recognition that the efforts to contain COVID-19 require limiting public gatherings used to obtain citizen participation, and the need to respond quickly to the growing spread and effects of COVID-19, while providing residents and stakeholders reasonable notice and opportunity to comment.
For more information, please call or text 847-448-4311. For convenience, residents in Evanston may simply dial 3-1-1.
