McLean County Community Behavioral Health Forum Planning Committee met April 27.
Here is the agenda provided by the committee:
1. Roll Call
2. Appearance by Members of the Public
NOTE CHANGE: To promote health and safety, we encourage the public to follow the Gubernatorial ‘shelter in place’ Executive Order. Therefore, in addition to standard (in-person) public comments at the McLean County Board Committee meetings, we will accept public comment via email as an option. Individuals or groups can email statements to County Administration at admin@mcleancountyil.gov by Sunday, April 26, 2020 at 1:00 pm.
Statements received by the deadline will be read aloud as part of the record, pursuant to the time parameters in McLean County Board Rules (five minutes for individuals or group spoke person). The entirety of the statement will be placed in the official minutes, even if the statement reads longer than the time limit allows.
We take very seriously the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations to socially distance and the Governor’s Executive Order 2020- 10, wherein no more than ten people can convene in one place. We encourage you to submit your public comment via email.
If you choose to provide comment in person, requests must be received by County Administration pursuant to time lines in the McLean County Board Rules. Upon submission, you will receive written instructions regarding how to enter the Government Center (which is now closed to the public). McLean County Board rules allow for a total maximum of 30 minutes allotted during each committee meeting. Public comment and the emailed comments will proceed in the order in which they are received.
Finally, the public will be able to view the McLean County Community Behavioral Health Forum Planning Committee Meeting, live, on Facebook and YouTube. Links can be found at https://www.mcleancountyil.gov/
