In the interest of preserving public health, while still providing public access to City meetings, the City of Butler, Indiana will hold public meetings as follows beginning Monday, April 20, 2020:
Meetings will be held on the second floor of the Butler City Hall Council Chamber, 215 South Broadway. You will also be able to access them virtually via a conference call, as allowed by Governor Holcomb's Executive Orders 20-08 and 20-18.

- A speaker phone will be active in the Council Chamber to allow participation by the members and by the public.
- All votes taken during the meeting must be done by a roll call vote, to allow for the proper recording of member votes in the meeting minutes.
- The public can physically attend the meeting at the City Hall Council Chamber, but will need to practice "social distancing" (minimum 6-foot from others) at all times when they are inside City Hall. Twenty-five (25) people can be present within the City Hall Council Chamber, including the Board members, Council members, other elected officials and staff.
