Shabbona alters committee rules and agenda deadlines; board approves changes
Summary
The village amended chapter 2 of the municipal code to make committee membership voluntary, reduce the minimum committee size and change agenda notice timing; the ordinance passed on roll call.
Trustees approved an amendment to chapter 2 of the municipal code clarifying committee procedures, volunteer membership, and agenda timing. The change reduces the minimum committee membership to two, removes a small $25 fine for missing meetings when notice is given, and sets a preferred 96‑hour agenda‑posting window so staff can prepare packets earlier.
Trustees said the change aims to increase transparency and predictability of agenda preparation but asked staff to refine language about which enforcement actions would require full board approval under a separate chapter. The clerk announced the roll call and the amendment passed.
