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
