Board Agendas and Minutes

Senate Bill 2135 (Public Act 101-0640) amending the OMA, allows public bodies to hold “an open or closed meeting by audio or video conference without the physical presence of a quorum of the members” during a public health disaster. We will be hosting our meeting on July 21, 2020 via the Zoom platform and in-person with social distancing requirements. Information on joining the remote meeting is provided in the agenda document. Members of the public can share comments by joining the meeting and submitting comments via the online platform,  by submitting comments in advance by sending them to [email protected] or to the attention of Julia Coen at 428 N. Cass Avenue, Westmont, IL 60559 by the start of the meeting, or attending in-person at 428 N. Cass Avenue. Written comments will be read aloud and entered into the public record.
