Under the revised Schedule of Meetings, the first Tuesday and second Tuesday of the month will be a Village Board and Committee of the Whole meeting respectively. On the third Tuesday of the month, we'll meet using a hybrid meeting model by combining Village Board and Committee of the Whole meetings as we did on December 12, 2023. Therefore, no meeting will be scheduled on the fourth Tuesday of the month, unless needed. If a need arises, a special meeting would be scheduled on the fourth Tuesday. This will allow staff ample time to appropriately prepare for the next month's meetings. By combining Village Board and Committee of the Whole meetings on the third Tuesday, we'll meet less frequently without losing the number of Committee of the Whole and Village Board meetings scheduled. Summer Session will continue to be observed during the months of May, June, July and August as we've done in the past. Therefore, the third Tuesday of the month will be a Village Board meeting only during Summer Session. Many of our neighboring communities including Palatine and Arlington Heights follow a similar model and meet two or three times a month by combing Village Board and Committee of the Whole meetings. Our commitment to serving and engaging our community remains strong by holding more robust meetings with fewer meeting dates. Please refer to the attached 2024 Schedule of Meetings. Alternatives Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the 2024 Schedule of Meetings is revised as proposed, adding a Committee of the Whole meeting as necessary on the 3rd Tuesday of the month and reserving the fourth Tuesday of the month for special meetings as needed.
