Declaration of Local State of Emergency
May 29, 2020
UPDATE!
Due to the concerns of the spread of the COVID-19 Coronavirus, I want to outline some of the actions that the Village has taken….
Village Hall was closed to the public on March 19, 2020. Village Hall will remain closed until Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois plan. Signs will be posted at the Village Hall entrances letting the public know the building is closed and the Village’s phone number (309) 633-2053- is posted for people to contact Village Hall in case of an urgent issue. Please call 911 for an emergency.
The Board of Trustees Meeting location for March 23, 2020 to May 28, 2020 were held electronically and instruction for public participation with the video/audio of these meetings may be found on our website calendar.
All meetings after May 29, 2020- the Council meetings and Committee meetings are being held in person (following Phase 3 guidelines) but electronic attendance is available using the information provided on our page.
Police and Public Works operations will continue although non-urgent direct contact with the public will be minimized.
Per the Governor’s Executive Directive, all eating and drinking establishments will go into Phase 3 of the Restore Illinois plan. If a drinking establishment does not abide, they may have their liquor license suspended or revoked. The State also shut down all video gaming as of 9:00 p.m. on March 16, 2020 and this order continues.
All special events on public property scheduled between now and the end of June are cancelled if Phase 3 guidelines cannot be met.
The safety and welfare of our Village employees, residents, their guests, business owners and business employees are my top priorities. The spread of this virus is real, and we should be concerned and cautious.
Prevention of the spreading of the virus is very important. Please wash your hands, stay home if you don’t feel well, avoid physical contact, stay away from large crowds, etc. The best message to you is to be cautious and remain calm.
Below you’ll find a link to the Peoria County Health Department, the CDC and a link to the Office of the Governor as he has issued a guidance to minimize the spread of the virus.
If you have any suggestions of what else we can do, please contact me or leave a message at Village Hall. We will work together until this issue has passed. We can do this as a community and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
