BACKGROUND:
The Illinois Open Meetings Act requires public bodies to keep minutes at all meetings,
open or closed. Minutes of open meetings must be available for public inspection following approval by the public body. However, minutes of closed meetings are not available to the public until the public body decides that confidentiality is no longer necessary. The public body is required to periodically review minutes of all closed meetings.
DISCUSSION:
On July 21, 2020, the City Council determined that the confidentially of the following Closed Session meeting minutes is no longer necessary and may be designated as non-restricted. These minutes involve either the approval of prior Closed Session meeting minutes or litigation that has been resolved.
