Summary
Trustees voted to enter closed session to discuss pending or probable litigation and to review minutes lawfully closed, citing the Illinois Open Meetings Act.
The Village Board voted unanimously Monday to enter closed session to discuss pending or probable litigation and to review minutes that were lawfully closed, citing the Illinois Open Meetings Act.
Staff requested the closed session per Illinois law, identifying statutory bases for the closed session as litigation and review of closed session minutes. The motion to enter closed session was made by Trustee Zick and seconded by Trustee Lebeds; the board approved the motion by roll-call vote and entered closed session.

The request referenced Illinois statute 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(11) (litigation) and 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(21) (approval/review of closed-session minutes) as the legal authority for closing the meeting.
No further public details were provided about the subject matter of potential litigation or the minutes under review.
