In accordance with P.A. 101-0640, which took effect on June 12, 2020, and allows a public body to hold an open or closed meeting by audio or video conference without the physical presence of a quorum of the members during a public health emergency if all or part of the County is covered by a disaster area (see 5 ILCS 120/7(e)), Kane County Board Chair Corinne Pierog has determined that requiring in-person meetings of the County Board and its committees is not practical or prudent due to the current transmission level of COVID-19 and the increasing prevalence of the "Delta variant". As such, the Chair is encouraging social distancing by allowing remote attendance to the meetings of the County Board and its committees. Instructions for viewing the Live Stream are on the County's webpage. The Zoom meeting will be made available for staff, elected officials and department heads only, and live streaming will be available for the public. Chair Pierog is requesting that only staff and elected officials vital to the operation of the meeting be present in person, as capacity in the Board Room will be limited to accommodate social distancing. In compliance with Executive Order 2021-20, face coverings will be required to cover the nose and mouth of all individuals two and over who are able to medically tolerate a face covering. For your safety and others, please consider attending the meeting remotely. If anyone from the public would like to offer a comment to be considered at the Public Comment portion of the meeting, there will be an allotted time on the agenda for public comment; please register to speak by 8:30 a.m. on the day of the meeting. Registration may be completed electronically on the County's website. County Board rules of order will still apply to the meeting. Written or emailed comments received by 4:00 p.m. on the day prior to the meeting will be made part of the record. We will make an appropriate effort to acknowledge public input within our normal limitations and add them to the record.
