EHLERS -7- Public Act 097 -0827 HB4687 Enrolled LRB097 16961 JDS 61625 b AN ACT concerning government. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly: Section 5. The Open Meetings Act is amended by changing Section 2.02 as follows: (5 ILCS 120/2.02) (from Ch. 102, par. 92.02) Sec. 2.02. Public notice of all meetings, whether open or closed to the public, shall be given as follows: (a) Every public body shall give public notice of the schedule of regular meetings at the beginning of each calendar or fiscal year and shall state the regular dates, times, and places of such meetings. An agenda for each regular meeting shall be posted at the principal office of the public body and at the location where the meeting is to be held at least 98 hours in advance of the holding of the meeting. A public body that has a website that the full -time staff of the public body maintains shall also post on its website the agenda of any regular meetings of the governing body of that public body. Any agenda of a regular meeting that is posted on a public body's website shall remain posted on the website until the regular meeting is concluded. The requirement of a regular meeting agenda shall not preclude the consideration of items not specifically set forth in the agenda. Public notice of any Public Act 097 -0827 HB4687 Enrolled LRB097 16461 JDS 61625 b special meeting except a meeting held in the event of a bona fide emergency, or of any rescheduled regular meeting, or of any reconvened meeting, shall be given at least 48 hours before such meeting, which notice shall also include the agenda for the special, rescheduled, or reconvened meeting, but the validity of any action taken by the public body which is germane to a subject on the agenda shall not be affected by other errors or omissions in the agenda. The requirement of public notice of reconvened meetings does not apply to any case where the meeting was open to the public and (1) it is to be reconvened within 24 hours, or (2) an announcement of the time and place of the reconvened meeting was made at the original meeting and there is no change in the agenda. Notice of an emergency meeting shall be given as soon as practicable, but in any event prior to the holding of such meeting, to any news medium which has filed an annual request for notice under subsection (b) of this Section. (b) Public notice shall be given by posting a copy of the notice at the principal office of the body holding the meeting or, if no such office exists, at the building in which the meeting is to be held. In addition, a public body that has a website that the full -time staff of the public body maintains shall post notice on its website of all meetings of the governing body of the public body. Any notice of an annual schedule of meetings shall remain on the website until a new public notice of the schedule of regular meetings is approved. Public Act 097 -0827 HB4687 Enrolled LRB097 16461 JDS 61625 b Any notice of a regular meeting that is posted on a public body's website shall remain posted on the website until the regular meeting is concluded. The body shall supply copies of the notice of its regular meetings, and of the notice of any special, emergency, rescheduled or reconvened meeting, to any news medium that has filed an annual request for such notice. Any such news medium shall also be given the same notice of all special, emergency, rescheduled or reconvened meetings in the same manner as is given to members of the body provided such news medium has given the public body an address or telephone number within the territorial jurisdiction of the public body at which such notice may be given. The failure of a public body to post on its website notice of any meeting or the agenda of any meeting shall not invalidate any meeting or any actions taken at a meeting. (c) Any agenda required under this Section shall set forth the general subject matter of anv resolution or ordinance that will be the subject of final action at the meeting The public body conducting a public meeting shall ensure that at least one copy of any requested notice and agenda for the meeting is continuously available for public review during the entire 48 -hour period preceding the meeting. Posting of the notice and agenda on a website that is maintained by the public body satisfies the requirement for continuous posting under this subsection (c). If a notice or agenda is not continuously available for the full 48 -hour period due to actions outside of Public Act 097 -0827 HB4687 Enrolled LRB097 16961 JDS 61625 b the control of the public body, then that lack of availability does not invalidate any meeting or action taken at a meeting.

Prepared by: EVANS, FROEHLICH, BETH & CHAMLEY, 44 Main St. 3rd Floor, Champaign, IL (217) 359 -6494; fax: 359 -6468 OPEN MEETING ACT / AGENDA / A TRAP FOR THE UNWARY This affirms a circuit court judgment declaring "null and void" an attemate benefit program for elected county officers. The basis for the decision was that the matter was not specifically on the agenda. The fact that the agenda had a general category of "NEW BUSINESS" was not sufficient. Also, although the Open Meetings Act would allow "consideration of items not specifically set forth in the agenda ", this would only allow "deliberations and discussion, not actions taken." under the decision. The Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/1 at seq.) requires, among other things, that an agenda be posted at the principal office of the public body and at the location where the meeting is to be held at least 48 hours in advance of the holding of the meeting. (There is a similar posting requirement for the notice under the Bond Issue Notification Act (30 ILCS 352/1 at seq.)). RICE v. ADAMS COUNTY, NO. 4-01-0327 / ILLINOIS FOURTH DISTRICT APPELLATE COURT PRESIDING JUSTICE McCULLOUGH delivered the opinion of the court: On January 7, 1999, plaintiff, Bruce A. Rice, filed a complaint against defendants, the Board of Trustees of Adams County, Illinois (Board), and the County of Adams, Illinois (County), and an amended complaint on May 18, 1999, alleging a failure by the Board to comply with the Open Meetings Act (Act) (5 ILCS 120/1 through 6 (West 1998)). Plaintiff sought an order voiding a resolution adopted by the Board. The resolution provided for an alternative benefit program for elected county officers (ECO) pursuant to section 7 -145.1 of the Illinois Pension Code (40 ILCS 517 -145.1 (West 1998)). Plaintiff and defendants filed motions for summary judgment. On May 10, 2000, the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of plaintiff, declaring the actions of the Board in adopting the resolution null and void. On March 16, 2001, the trial court entered an order denying defendants' motion for reconsideration. Defendants appeal the grant of summary judgment for plaintiff. We affirm. The entry of summary judgment is appropriate where there are no questions of fact and judgment can be entered as a matter of law. County of Knox ex rel. Masterson v. Hiahlands L.L.C., 188 III. 2d 546, 550 -51, 723 N.E.2d 256, 260 (1999), quoting 735 ILCS 5/2- 1005(c) (West 1998). The interpretation of a statute is a matter of law for the court and properly decided by summary judgment. County of Knox, 188 III. 2d at 551, 723 N.E.2d at 260. Courts of review consider the entry of summary judgment de novo. County of Knox, 188 III. 2d at 551, 723 N.E.2d at 260. It is the intent of the Act to protect the citizen's right to know. The Act requires an agenda for each regular meeting of a public body, the agenda to be posted at the principal office of the public body and at the location where the meeting is to be held and at least 48 hours in advance of the holding of the meeting. 5 ILCS 120/2.02(a) (West 1998). The portion of the Act at issue in the present case provides that "[t]he requirement of a regular meeting agenda shall not preclude the consideration of items not specifically set forth in the agenda." (Emphasis added.) 5 ILCS 120 /2.02(a) (West 1998). The agenda in the present case, dated November 10. 1998, provides for 34 items, 25 of which appear to be the reports of various individuals. Item No. 32 references "NEW BUSINESS." We find also in the record agendas dated September 8, 1998, and October 13, 1998. They are, in appearance, nearly identical to the agenda dated November 10, 1998. The minutes of the meeting held November 10, 1998, provide that, under "NEW BUSINESS," a Mr. Heidbreder stated "there is another resolution to present." The resolution, providing for an alternative benefit program for ECO pursuant to section 7 -145.1 of the Illinois Pension Code, was read aloud, and Mr. Heidbreder "moved to adopt." A discussion was had and sufficient affirmative votes carried the motion. Defendants acknowledge that the alternative benefit program for ECO was not specifically set forth in the agenda. Defendants argue, however, that pursuant to section 2.02 of the Act, "the consideration of an item not specifically set forth in the agenda references an opportunity for action by the public body. 5 ILCS 120/2.02(a) (West 1998). We disagree. In County of Knox, 188 III. 2d at 556, 723 N.E.2d at 263, the supreme court opined: "The fundamental rule of statutory interpretation is to give effect to the intention of the legislature. A court first looks to the words of the statute. The language of the statute is the best indication of the legislative intent. When the statutory language is clear, it must be given effect without resort to other tools of interpretation. In interpreting a statute, it is never proper for a court to depart from plain language by reading into a statute exceptions, limitations, or conditions which conflict with the clearly expressed legislative intent." The Act, in setting forth the policy, provides: "It is the public policy of this State that public bodies exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business and that the people have a right to be informed as to the conduct of their business. In order that the people shall be informed, the General Assembly finds and declares that it is the intent of this Act to ensure that the actions of public bodies be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly. The General Assembly further declares it to be the public policy of this State that its citizens shall be given advance notice of and the right to attend all meetings at which any business of a public body is discussed or acted upon in any way." 5 ILCS 120/1 (West 1998). The Act references the "actions of public bodies" and, in a separate reference, "their deliberations," and also "business "' discussed" and, in a separate reference, business "acted upon." We find "the consideration of items not specifically set forth in the agenda to be in the nature of deliberations and discussion and not actions taken. We do not find the item "NEW BUSINESS" to provide sufficient advance notice to the people of a resolution providing for an alternative benefit program for ECO. We note also a reference in the minutes of the meeting held November 10, 1998, that "several years ago this was discussed," contrary to the Board's assertion of "new" business. Defendants also argue that the ECO who chose to participate in the alternative benefit program are not bound by the judgment declaring the actions of the Board, in adopting the resolution, null and void because they were not made parties to the suit. On May 10, 2000, the trial court held that defendants' actions, "in adopting the resolution approving the EGO Plan, as taken on November 10, 1998, are herewith declared null and void." The "pension rights" referenced by defendants have no force, binding power, or validity. For the reasons stated above, we affirm the trial court's judgment. Affirmed. KNECHT and STEIGMANN, JJ., concur.
