Part 3: Putting Civics into Action 🗣️ City Council vs. Committee of the Whole: What's the difference? In Springfield, the City Council is responsible for passing laws, approving purchases, and making important decisions that affect the community. They meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month to conduct official business and vote on various matters. On the other hand, the Committee of the Whole meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays. This setting allows for more informal discussions and debates among council members about upcoming issues, providing a space for recommendations to be made before any formal voting takes place. Join us tonight at 5:30 PM for the City Council meeting! Experience your local government in action, whether you attend in person or stream it online: 📺 YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@ILSpringfield 📺 Government Channel 18: https://lnkd.in/gSZp2NXE #LocalGovernment #CityCouncil #CivicEngagement #PuttingCivicsIntoAction #CityofSpi

❗ SCAM ALERT ❗ The City of Springfield is alerting residents that false information is circulating regarding a supposed shred event scheduled for tomorrow, October 12, 2024, at Municipal Center West, located at 300 S 7th St, Springfield, IL. This information, which states that residents are invited to securely shred up to six boxes of documents to promote identity protection, appears to be from an unknown source and is likely a scam. The City has not organized or authorized any such event at this location. Residents are strongly advised not to bring documents to Municipal Center East for shredding. Please be cautious of potential scams, and always verify city-sponsored events through official channels. Any legitimate events held at city buildings can be found on our official website at https://lnkd.in/gMpMFvMf. If you suspect you have encountered a scam, we encourage you to report it by contacting the Springfield Police Department’s non-emergency line at 217-788-8311. We urge all residents to stay informed and protect themselves against fraudulent activities. The City of Springfield is committed to ensuring the safety and security of our community.
