N. PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS:
O. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Approve the recommendation to: (1) extend the speaker sign-up deadline to 5 pm; (2)
continue to allow the submission of written comments; and (3) include a call-in option as
an alternative to online registration for speaker sign-ups
Council discussed extending the speaker sign-up deadline to 6:30 p.m.,
continuing to allow written comments, and eliminating the 30-minute time
limit on Public Forum at the beginning of the meeting.
DiSanto explained the time limit provision in the Municipal Code does not
require Public Forum stop after 30 minutes but rather allows for the Council
to choose to hear 30 minutes of Public Forum at the beginning of the
meeting and the remainder at the end of the meeting. He stated that
Council could still manage the meeting as it deems appropriate, however
time limits would not be codified.
WRITTEN COMMENT ONLY
Marilyn L Schweitzer (Naperville) - Please support this in its entirety. I
wholeheartedly agree with staff that accepting written comments has been
both efficient and effective. Promoting the call-in sign-up (rather than having
it be a hidden feature) will be more equitable to community members who
were not aware of it. I also wish to express my great appreciation that the
City posts agendas a 6 days prior to meetings rather that the mere 48
required by the OMA. I wish more public bodies followed suit. It allows for
better community participation. Thank you.
A motion was made by Councilwoman Bruzan-Taylor, seconded by Councilman
Kelly, to approve the recommendations as modified to extend the online speaker
sign-up deadline to 6:30 pm; continue to allow the submission of written
comments until 4:00 p.m.; include a call-in option as an alternative to online
registration for speaker sign-ups and direct staff to bring back an ordinance
eliminating the 30-minute time limit for Public Forum at the January 16, 2024
Council meeting. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7- Wehrli, Bruzan Taylor, Holzhauer, Kelly, Longenbaugh, McBroom, and Wilson
Nay: 2- Leong, and White

and questioned the plan's role in contract renewal discussions.

plan.
Council discussed Groth asking the IMEA board to table the vote.
DiSanto stated that Groth has authority to make these types of decisions based
on his role and responsibilities, that the Council cannot make a motion or vote
on the request since the item is not on the agenda, and that the Council can
provide input to Krieger and Groth.
Kelly requested the Krieger and Groth consider Council's input prior to the vote
