Village of Palos Park Board of Commissioners met July 13.
Here is the minutes provided by the board:
Due to the Disaster Declaration issued by the Governor of the State of Illinois relative to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Village Council meeting was held by teleconference. Mayor Mahoney has determined that an in-person meeting of the Village Council, or a meeting conducted under the Open Meetings Act requirements, relative to a quorum of the members of the Village Council having to be physically present at a meeting when some members of the Village Council are participating remotely, is not practical or prudent because of the disaster.
