The Attorney General’s Public Access Bureau has issued Binding Opinion #24-010, directing the Village of Dolton to take immediate action to ensure future meetings are accessible and open to the public. The opinion specifies that meetings should be held in locations with adequate space and configured to accommodate attendees. While reasonable safety measures are allowed, the Board is instructed to avoid unnecessary security measures such as street closures, parking barricades, and an excessive police presence that could impede or deter public attendance.
