This Public Engagement Plan outlines the City of East St. Louis's approach to public participation for the Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) Implementation, specifically Phase 1 from 2024 to 2027. The plan details five engagement goals: inform, engage, collaborate, respond, and monitor and adapt. Key objectives include educating residents on Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) issues and infrastructure upgrades, and aligning community feedback with broader goals. Methodologies involve structured quarterly meetings, facilitated discussions, and a transparent public feedback repository. Strategies focus on public awareness and education, community activities, robust comment mechanisms, transparency, and automated notification systems.

The meeting commenced with the Chairman opening the session. Under New Business, the Board Members voted unanimously to accept the monthly fire and police department reports. Following this, the session was adjourned.
