Don't Forget to Approve Your Annual Schedule of Regular Meetings


We wanted to send out a reminder that the Illinois Open Meetings Act requires Illinois public bodies to adopt an annual schedule of their regular meetings. So, before the end of the year, Illinois governments should schedule an item on an upcoming meeting agenda for the public body to approve the schedule of meetings for 2019. The annual schedule must include the times and places of all regular meetings. 5 ILCS 120/2.03.

This requirement applies not only to the corporate authorities (city council, village board, park board, school board, library board, township board, etc) but also to subsidiary bodies such as the plan commission, zoning board of appeals, etc. to the extent these subsidiary bodies have "regular" meetings as opposed to scheduling special meetings when needed.
