__________________________________________________________________________________________

A SPECIAL ST. CLAIRSVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING has been called for Tuesday, June 23, 2020 via TELECONFERENCE, beginning at 7:00pm. The meeting will be called to order and immediately enter Executive Session to discuss ongoing contract negotiations. Please note the earlier start time.

A Finance Committee meeting will take place prior to the Special Council Meeting at 6:00pm. This will also be teleconferenced. Residents will be in a LISTEN ONLY MODE and may use the same dial-in number and access code.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the changes that have been made to Ohio’s Open Meetings Act (which temporarily allows public bodies to conduct meetings and hearings electronically during this state of emergency), the public may participate using the phone number and access code below.

Public bodies must provide public access to any meeting or hearing that the public would otherwise be entitled to attend.  Therefore, any resident who is interested in dialing in to the TELECONFERENCE is encouraged to do so.  Residents will be in a LISTEN ONLY MODE.

The dial-in number and access code are:

Dial-In Number                       800-338-7154

Access Code                            4152

While most of the meeting will be conducted in Executive Session, Mayor Thalman and Council President Velas encourage residents to listen in and be informed.
