Regular meetings of the Board of Trustees shall be designated by the Board of Trustees. All meetings shall comply with the provisions of the Illinois Open Meetings Act. A special meeting may be called by the president of the Board or any two Trustees upon at least 48-hour notice to all Trustees. A special meeting may also be called for a future date at any meeting of the Trustees by a majority vote of the Trustees attending the meeting. Notice and the agenda of all meetings shall be provided pursuant to the Illinois Open Meetings Act. (5 ILCS 120/1 et seq.)
The Board shall appoint a recording secretary to attend all meetings of the Board and prepare minutes of those meetings. The recording secretary shall keep, or cause to be kept, a true and correct copy of all transactions of the Board in regular and special meetings, open or closed, and committee meetings. The minutes of the preceding meeting, with any changes made by a motion properly carried or as directed by the president without objections, shall be approved by the Board and signed by the secretary at the next business meeting. The official minutes of the Board shall be kept in the District’s administrative offices and shall be made available to citizens for inspection during regular business hours within seven days of approval.
