Jun 4, 2020

Pursuant to the provisions of Executive Order No. 2020-75 issued by Governor Gretchen Whitmer on May 6, 2020, notice is hereby given that the Charlotte City Council will hold a regular meeting on June 1, 2020 beginning at 7:00 p.m. as an electronic pubic meeting.

The reasons for holding an electronic public meeting are to limit the spread of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) and to remain in compliance with Governor Whitmer’s Executive Order 2020-110, which limits public gatherings.

The electronic public meeting will be held as a telephonic conference, although some or all Council members are expected to meet in person in the City Hall Council Chambers. The public may participate in the electronic public meeting by calling 1-313-209-3070 and entering the conference code number 747690 when prompted. The public will be able to listen to all discussion by Council members and will be permitted to speak for up to 5 minutes during the public comment sections of the agenda.

Members of the public, whether or not they are joining the electronic public meeting, may submit written comments and questions regarding any matter, including items of business that will come before the City Council. Written comments and questions may be submitted at any time. Those submitted prior to 12:00 noon on Friday, June 5, 2020 will be copied and included in the agenda packet for the meeting. Those submitted subsequent to 12:00 noon on Friday, June 5, 2020 but prior to the citizen comments portion of the agenda will be read aloud during the public comment portion of the agenda. Only the first 5 minutes of written comments will be read aloud but the full text of written comments will be provided to City Council members subsequent to the meeting.

To be considered for inclusion in the agenda packet or to be read aloud during the meeting, public comments and questions must include the name and home address of the person submitting them and must not include language that would be considered vulgar or be interpreted as hate speech or fighting words. The comments and questions should also indicate the date of the electronic public meeting for which they are being submitted.

Written comments and questions should be submitted to webmaster@charlottemi.org.

Persons with disabilities who require assistance in order to participate in the electronic public meeting should contact the City at the earliest opportunity by emailing gterpstra@charlottemi.org or by calling 517-543-8843.
