Public Utilities Advisory Board Meeting Minutes - Final August 25, 2020
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 that 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, we are once again holding the Public Utlities Board meeting remotely
on August 25, 2020. The commissioners and staff participating in tonight’s meeting
are all in different locations in accordance with social distancing guidelines.
Any individual desiring to listen and/or participate in the meeting by telephone, or
through the electronic meeting platform known as Zoom, has also been provided that
opportunity using the log-in information provided on the Agenda for tonight’s
meeting.
Just a reminder that all speakers are asked to present their comments in a respectful
and courteous manner. If inappropriate language or comments are expressed
during this meeting, we will mute the speaker and end their participation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You do not need to create a Zoom account or download software to
