City of Moline Historic Preservation Commission met Aug. 24.

Here is the agenda provided by the commission:

The special Historic Preservation Commission meeting was held at the Moline City Hall in the Committee of the Whole Meeting Room with social distancing and face coverings.

Meeting without a physically present quorum of the Moline City Council is allowable due to the disaster declaration issued by Governor Pritzker related to CORVID-19 public health concerns affecting the State and City. The mayor has determined that in-person meeting at City Hall with all participants is not practical or prudent because of the disaster. Board members may not all be physically present at City Hall, due to the disaster. Physical public attendance at City Hall may be limited or not feasible. Members of the public wishing to attend this open meeting must notify the City Clerk, jparr@moline.il.us, by 12:00 p.m. the day of the meeting to make arrangements.
