Park Ridge HPC discusses moving regular meeting time to 5:30 p.m.; no final vote

Sep 2, 2026

Commissioners weighed options to change the regular meeting date/time (currently first Wednesday at 6 p.m.) to accommodate scheduling conflicts. Preferences leaned toward keeping the first Wednesday but moving the start earlier (5:30 p.m.); staff will continue outreach and may implement changes for 2027 or 2028.

The full story

The commission discussed whether to change its regular meeting schedule to improve attendance and reduce conflicts with other commissions. Staff distributed results from a meeting‑time survey and outlined five date/time options (first Wednesday, first Tuesday, second Monday, 4th Monday, and alternate start times from 5:00–7:00 p.m.). Several commissioners reported conflicts (work, youth sports) and expressed a preference for keeping the first Wednesday but moving the start time earlier to 5:30 p.m.
