1. Meeting Notice - Important Changes
1.1 Meeting information with links to help you stay connected.
Public
Notice to our residents regarding meeting procedures and public participation amid the COVID-19
outbreak.
We've made the decision to proceed with Village Board meetings, instead of cancelling, so Village business can
continue to move forward. The Executive Order issued by Governor Pritzker affecting all Illinois residents challenged
us to come up with alternative methods to ensure transparent, productive and open meetings continue. The order
includes a provision that waives the portion of the Open Meetings Act that requires a quorum of members of a public
body be "physically present" at the meeting location. The next few Board meetings will look and feel a little different
as the Mayor and Board of Trustees will conduct meetings via video conference. Only those few staff members
needed to video-tape and record the meeting will be physically present. All other staff members will join the Mayor
and Board also by video conference. You are invited to join us via live -stream on MPDC, or view on Comcast or WOW
Channel 17.
In addition, we've made adjustments to our public comment procedures. To preserve your right to participate in
public meetings, we are temporarily turning toward a more formal procedure to ensure your questions and/or
comments are heard. If you have a question or comment, whether on an agenda item or something else, please
complete and submit this form at least one hour prior to the start of the meeting. If your question cannot be
answered during the meeting, rest assured staff will follow-up in a timely manner.
For information relating to COVID -19. including Village press releases, assistance for our residents and
business resources, please visit the Village website portal dedicated to COVID-19
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during these extraordinary times. As a community, we will get
through this together.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Village Clerk Karen Agoranos,
kagoranos@mountprospect.org or 847/818-5333
