Return of in-person meetings:
We are happy to announce the return of in-person meetings for all our Boards and
Commissions. Although it may look a bit different than what we remember, we
are committed to conducting a safe and productive meeting for all.
Members of the public who wish to speak under Citizens to be Heard or on an
agenda item may join us live at Village Hall. We'll check your temperature upon
arrival and masks or face coverings will be required during the length of your
visit. Physical distancing protocols will also be enforced. If we reach the capacity
limit for the Boardroom, you may be asked to wait in the Farley Community Room
or outside the boardroom.
If you wish to address the Board in-person on February 23, 2021, please notify us
by emailing kagoranos@mountprospect.org by 3:00 p.m. on Feb. 23rd so we may
plan accordingly while keeping everyone safe. Please include your name and
address in the email along with your intent to speak under Citizens to be Heard or
on the discussion item. This will help us plan the flow of the meeting. To be
respectful of everyone's opportunity to participate, your chance to speak may be
limited in time by the Chair of the meeting (Mayor) depending on the number of
participants. We also ask that you limit attendance to only those who wish to
speak before the Board.
The Board has always recognized the need to accommodate those with
disabilities. Any individual who would like to attend this meeting but because of a
disability or who needs some accommodation to participate will be able to
address the board remotely. The same advance notice detailed above is required.
You will then be provided with a communications link.
Those who are unable to join us live may submit comments or questions to
vmo@mountprospect.org. Comments received in this manner will be summarized
by the Mayor at the appropriate time during the meeting.
As always, you may also join us via livestream or view the meeting on Comcast or
WOW channel 17.
