All city boards & commissions are meeting in person to handle city business. There are no rules to ensure those meetings continue to stream online, putting at risk Chicagoan's ability to keep tabs on their government with a simple click of a button.
The Chicago Commission on Landmarks meets on Thursday, June 8, 2023, in a nearly empty Council Chambers at Chicago City Hall.
When Gov. J.B. Pritzker ended the public health emergency on May 11 that had been in place since March 2020 to stop the spread of COVID-19, boards and commissions across the state could no longer meet virtually, as rules that allowed them to meet via Zoom or other teleconferencing platforms expired. State law does not require cities to livestream public meetings. However, the Chicago City Council requires all of its meetings, as well as meetings of its committees, to be livestreamed, as they have been since 2019.
However, those commissions will only accept public testimony and comment from those attending the meeting in person, not virtually, Strazzabosco said. Despite meeting in the City Council’s chambers where the City Council’s meetings are regularly streamed online, the only Chicagoans able to witness the members of the Landmarks Commission debate the proposals were the handful of people there in person.
