Next up… City Council meets at 7PM Dec. 1

Then later in the day, the Naperville City Council will hold its regularly scheduled meeting at 7PM Tues., Dec. 1. The first meeting of the month will address the 2021 Budget and other proposals likely to have an impact on this community in 2021 and into the future.

All input from residents is welcome during public forum. Residents can speak up to three minutes during public comments. Brief is good and often has greater impact. Simply think about a powerful message in a :30 second commercial.
