PLEASE NOTE: THIS MEETING WILL BE HELD ELECTRONICALLY AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT, MCL 15.263, ET SEQ., AS AMENDED.  MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC BODY AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAY PARTICIPATE ELECTRONICALLY, AS DESCRIBED BELOW.

Reason for allowing participation by electronic means:
To mitigate the spread of COVID-19, protect the public health, and provide essential protections to vulnerable citizens, in-person contact should be limited. Critical mitigation measures include social distancing and limiting the number of people interacting at public gatherings. This includes public meetings.

The City will be utilizing the video/audio conferencing platform Zoom.  Members of the public body will be able to hear and speak to each other for the entire meeting.  Except for any closed session portions of the meeting, members of the public will be able to hear (and possibly see) members of the public body during the entire meeting but will only be able to speak during a public comment period.

Members of the public participating in the public comment via Zoom will wait in a virtual queue until called during the public comment period. Because of limitations on un-muting and re-muting members of the public, there will be only one public comment period, which will be at the end of the meeting.

When public comment is permitted, members of the public will be called one at a time, as would happen during an in-person meeting.  A meeting coordinator will determine the order of public speakers.

Alternatively, you may use the *9 feature if participating by phone.  When you are unmuted, and you will have three (3) minutes to share your comments to the public body.  At the conclusion of your comments or your three (3) minutes, you will be re-muted and then removed from the queue.
