Removal of Candidates from Police Officer Eligibility List
The board will take up a motion to remove certain candidates from the active Police Officer eligibility list. Eligibility lists are the pool from which the village draws candidates for police officer hiring, so removal of names could affect who is considered for future openings on the Northbrook Police Department.
Closed Session: Specific Employee Matter
The board will enter closed session under the Illinois Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1)) to discuss the appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of a specific village employee. The board will also review and discuss minutes from its September 14, 2026 closed session under the same statute's provision for closed-session minute review.
Public Comment
Residents may address the board on any matter within its jurisdiction. Speakers must submit a written form at the meeting room and are limited to three minutes each. The board will listen but will not engage in back-and-forth dialogue during the session.
