Remote

This is a remote assignment. The Cook County Board typically holds most of its committee meetings back-to-back on a Wednesday, to discuss and make recommendations on proposed items before they go to a full board vote on Thursday. For this assignment you will document the following currently scheduled meetings:

Note: Sometimes the meeting schedule changes so it’s a good idea to double check the schedule the morning of at https://cook-county.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx.

You can watch the meetings live-stream at https://www.cookcountyil.gov/service/watch-live-board-proceedings. We do not expect you to prepare in-depth for each meeting but it is a good idea to be familiar with each committee’s responsibilities and 1-2 key agenda items.

You do not need to document a consent agenda meeting, which is not currently on the schedule but has in the past happened on Wednesday afternoons. It is mainly to address honorary resolutions that do not need further discussion.
