You have the option of documenting this meeting in person or remotely.

If you choose to attend in person, please note that due to recent tension at meetings, individual members of the public have been turned away from the main level seating area (the 3rd floor, glassed-in gallery is still open to you). See this WBEZ article for more context. This is a public access issue and we’re interested in your observations as a Documenter, so if you go to this meeting in person we will double the additional in-person pay to $36. You may be asked to provide government-issued photo ID and to go through a metal detector.

If you choose to document remotely, the meeting will be live-streamed at https://www.chicityclerk.com/.

At this link, scroll down to “Meeting Notices.” Look for “Watch now” and click on the link with the meeting title to go to a livestream page.

If you don’t see a link for the meeting, you may be early or the meeting may be starting late. Wait a few moments and try refreshing your Internet tab.

The end time listed on this assignment is an estimation based on the duration of past meetings of this type.
