 Meeting Agenda

 Sister Cities Commission

Wednesday, May 12, 2021 6:30 PM



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.

Pursuant to Section 120/7(e) of the Illinois Open Meetings Act, the continuation of the Governor’s
disaster proclamation, and Mayor Chirico’s executive order determining that in-person public
meetings are not currently practical or prudent because of the Covid-19 pandemic, we are
holding the May 12, 2021 Sister Cities meeting remotely.
