CITY OF NAPERVILLE PUBLIC MEETINGS UPDATE:
On Friday, June 12, 2020, an amendment to the Open Meetings Act was signed into law. This
new law replaces the gubernatorial executive order concerning the Open Meetings Act and
allows public bodies to temporarily conduct meetings remotely during a state of emergency,
subject to certain requirements, including a determination by the head of the public body than an
in-person meeting is not practical or prudent.
On Tuesday, June 16, 2020, Mayor Chirico issued an executive order determining that in-person
meetings of the City Council and the City’s boards and commissions are not currently practical or
prudent due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting scheduled for August 19, 2020 will be conducted remotely. The means by which the
public may watch, listen, and/or participate in the meeting are described below.
