The representative is an ex officio, non-voting member of the board or commission, unless specifically granted voting power, and is not counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum unless specifically stated as such in the Municipal Code.
Partner Organizations
Partner organizations that receive dedicated funding from the City and regional membership organizations also have City Council members serving as liaisons. Partner organizations include DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference, Naperville Community Television, Naperville Development Partnership, Downtown Naperville Alliance, and Downtown Advisory Subcommittee of the Downtown Naperville Alliance.
