** Oswego takes meetings online,
invites public to comment from comfort of home
------------------------------------------------------------

The Village of Oswego will hold its regularly scheduled Committee of the Whole and Village Board meetings on Tuesday, April 7, with changes to allow elected officials, staff, and the public to participate remotely in compliance with the statewide Stay at Home Order.

The Committee of the Whole will meet at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 7. The Village Board meeting follows at 7 p.m. Village Hall will be opened for the meeting, however, residents are strongly encouraged to watch or participate remotely. Here’s how:

To watch meetings live, visit www.oswegoil.org/government/village-board/agendas.aspx. Scroll down to Upcoming Events. Once the meeting begins, an In Progress link will appear. Click on it to watch the meeting.

To give a comment at the meetings, you have multiple options:

* Email your comment to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) by 4 p.m. on the day of the meeting. Your comment will be read aloud during the Public Forum portion of the Village Board meeting by a Village staff member.
* Join our webinar by video. Visit StreamUS.oswegoil.org Members of the public will be muted during the meeting to allow the board to conduct business but will be individually unmuted during the public comment portion of the meeting.
* Join our meeting by phone call. Call (312) 626-6799 just prior to the meeting. When prompted, enter passcode 508 193 215 from your phone. You’ll then hear the audio of the meeting through our webinar service. Members of the public will be muted during the meeting to allow the board to conduct business but will be individually unmuted during the public comment portion of the meeting.
* You may also still watch the meeting and give public comment in person. Residents are strongly encouraged to stay home and participate remotely, however, they may also attend the meeting in person. If attending, members of the public are required to stay six feet from any other person in the room.


As always, those giving public comment are asked to fill out the Public Participation form and abide by the Village’s civility code, which is available on the Village’s website, under Participate in the April 7 Village Board meeting. The form may be submitted by email to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .

In March, Illinois Gov. Pritzker announced a temporary change to the state’s Open Meetings Act that waives the requirement that a physical quorum of elected officials be present to hold a public meeting. Remote participation for elected officials, staff, and the public is expected to continue until the order is lifted.

For more information about public participation at meetings during the COVID-19 crisis, contact Village Clerk Tina Touchette at 630-554-3259 or [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .
