414	414	15 organizational positions filled by members thereof, whether

441	441	6 (5 ILCS 120/2.02) (from Ch. 102, par. 42.02)
442	442	7 Sec. 2.02. Public notice of all meetings, whether open or
443	443	8 closed to the public, shall be given as follows:
444	444	9 (a) Every public body shall give public notice of the
445	445	10 schedule of regular meetings at the beginning of each calendar
446	446	11 or fiscal year and shall state the regular dates, times, and
447	447	12 places of such meetings. An agenda for each regular meeting
448	448	13 shall be posted at the principal office of the public body, if
449	449	14 such an office exists, and at the location where the meeting is
450	450	15 to be held at least 48 hours in advance of the holding of the
451	451	16 meeting. A public body that has a website that the full-time
452	452	17 staff of the public body maintains shall also post on its
453	453	18 website the agenda of any regular meetings of the governing
454	454	19 body of that public body. Any agenda of a regular meeting that
455	455	20 is posted on a public body's website shall remain posted on the
456	456	21 website until the regular meeting is concluded. The
457	457	22 requirement of a regular meeting agenda shall not preclude the
458	458	23 consideration of items not specifically set forth in the
459	459	24 agenda. Public notice of any special meeting except a meeting

471	471	1 rescheduled regular meeting, or of any reconvened meeting,
472	472	2 shall be given at least 48 hours before such meeting, which
473	473	3 notice shall also include the agenda for the special,
474	474	4 rescheduled, or reconvened meeting, but the validity of any
475	475	5 action taken by the public body which is germane to a subject
476	476	6 on the agenda shall not be affected by other errors or
477	477	7 omissions in the agenda. The requirement of public notice of
478	478	8 reconvened meetings does not apply to any case where the
479	479	9 meeting was open to the public and (1) it is to be reconvened
480	480	10 within 24 hours, or (2) an announcement of the time and place
481	481	11 of the reconvened meeting was made at the original meeting and
482	482	12 there is no change in the agenda. Notice of an emergency
483	483	13 meeting shall be given as soon as practicable, but in any event
484	484	14 prior to the holding of such meeting, to any news medium which
485	485	15 has filed an annual request for notice under subsection (b) of
486	486	16 this Section.
487	487	17 (b) Public notice shall be given by posting a copy of the
488	488	18 notice at the principal office of the body holding the meeting
489	489	19 or, if no such office exists, at the building in which the
490	490	20 meeting is to be held. In addition, a public body that has a
491	491	21 website that the full-time staff of the public body maintains
492	492	22 shall post notice on its website of all meetings of the
493	493	23 governing body of the public body. If a public body has a
494	494	24 website that is maintained by its full-time staff but does not
495	495	25 have a principal office or single building where meetings are
496	496	26 regularly held, that body shall be deemed to have complied

507	507	1 with the requirement to post physical notice at the office or
508	508	2 building of the meeting if the notice is timely posted on that
509	509	3 public body's website. The public body must comply with all
510	510	4 other notice requirements set forth in this Act. Any notice of
511	511	5 an annual schedule of meetings shall remain on the website
512	512	6 until a new public notice of the schedule of regular meetings
513	513	7 is approved. Any notice of a regular meeting that is posted on
514	514	8 a public body's website shall remain posted on the website
515	515	9 until the regular meeting is concluded. The body shall supply
516	516	10 copies of the notice of its regular meetings, and of the notice
517	517	11 of any special, emergency, rescheduled or reconvened meeting,
518	518	12 to any news medium that has filed an annual request for such
519	519	13 notice. Any such news medium shall also be given the same
520	520	14 notice of all special, emergency, rescheduled or reconvened
521	521	15 meetings in the same manner as is given to members of the body
522	522	16 provided such news medium has given the public body an address
523	523	17 or telephone number within the territorial jurisdiction of the
524	524	18 public body at which such notice may be given. The failure of a
525	525	19 public body to post on its website notice of any meeting or the
526	526	20 agenda of any meeting shall not invalidate any meeting or any
527	527	21 actions taken at a meeting.
528	528	22 (c) Any agenda required under this Section shall set forth
529	529	23 the general subject matter of any resolution or ordinance that
530	530	24 will be the subject of final action at the meeting. The public
531	531	25 body conducting a public meeting shall ensure that at least
532	532	26 one copy of any requested notice and agenda for the meeting is

543	543	1 continuously available for public review during the entire
544	544	2 48-hour period preceding the meeting. Posting of the notice
545	545	3 and agenda on a website that is maintained by the public body
546	546	4 satisfies the requirement for continuous posting under this
547	547	5 subsection (c). If a notice or agenda is not continuously
548	548	6 available for the full 48-hour period due to actions outside
549	549	7 of the control of the public body, then that lack of
550	550	8 availability does not invalidate any meeting or action taken
551	551	9 at a meeting.

558	558	16 when gathered for a regularly scheduled meeting or otherwise
559	559	17 gathered to adopt any motion, resolution, or ordinance.
560	560	18 (b) With the exception of the required regularly scheduled
561	561	19 monthly meetings, Police District Councils created under
562	562	20 Section 2-80-070 of the Municipal Code of Chicago may hold
