Rules and Procedures

Under state law there are certain rules that a local government must follow for conducting meetings; however, aside from these rules many county governments have adopted operating procedures or by-laws to ensure that meetings are effective and to avoid conflicting interpretations. Formalized rules often include the duties of key county officials, the procedure for meetings of the governing body, the county's basic organizational structure, committee structure and responsibilities, and voting process. - DeKalb County Board Rules - Lake County Board Rules - Madison County Board Rules - Peoria County Board Rules - Vermilion County Board Rules - Will County Board Rules
