Summary of Proceedings

Moline Committee-of-the-Whole and City Council Meeting - August 5, 2026

The meeting was called to order at 6:00 PM. After roll call and a brief public comment period with no speakers, the council immediately moved into executive session without addressing any of the agenda items listed for the July 21, 2026 meeting. Note: The provided agenda is dated July 21, 2026, but the user specifies that this meeting took place on August 5, 2026; this discrepancy is noted here.

Meeting Called to Order

  • The meeting was called to order at 6:00 PM in council chambers. The pledge of allegiance was recited. No invocation was given.

Roll Call

  • Present: Alderpersons Silas, Messias, Rosak, Timian, Finch, McNeil, Castro, Schmidt. All eight alderpersons were present.

Executive Session

  • A motion was made by Alderperson Silas, seconded by Alderperson Timian, to convene in executive session for the purpose of discussing appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees, citing 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1).
  • The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote (8 ayes, 0 nays).
