Question 1

How can I attend a village board meeting?

Accepted Answer

Most village board meetings are open to the public under Illinois open meetings law. Meetings are typically held at village hall, and many municipalities also offer remote viewing via YouTube or Zoom. Check the town's website for the meeting schedule and any public comment procedures.

Question 2

What is the difference between board meetings, committee meetings, and special meetings?

Accepted Answer

Regular board meetings follow a set schedule (often twice monthly) and cover the full range of municipal business. Committee meetings focus on specific topics (finance, zoning, public safety) and usually make recommendations to the full board. Special meetings are called for urgent items outside the regular schedule.

Question 3

How are meeting summaries generated?

Accepted Answer

MyTownView uses AI to generate meeting summaries from official meeting minutes, agendas, and video recordings. Summaries highlight key votes, discussions, and decisions. They are not official records. Always refer to the municipality's official minutes for the authoritative record.
