Where the data comes from

• City website: https://www.naperville.il.us/ (City of Naperville, DuPage and Will Counties, Illinois)
• Agendas and minutes: Legistar, https://naperville.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. Agenda and minutes PDFs are attached to each event.
• Video: the City's YouTube channel @OfficialNapervilleIL (meetings are under the streams tab) and the City's own archive at https://naperville.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2. Council meetings also air on WCNC cable (channel 6 Astound, 10 Comcast, 99 AT&T).
• Collected 2026-11-04 (added at Dewey's request).

Governing body

• Mayor Scott Wehrli (term to 2027) and eight City Council members: Mary Gibson, Ian Holzhauer, Supna Jain, Patrick Kelly, Josh McBroom, Ashfaq Syed, Benjamin White and Nathan Wilson. Legistar and roll calls show the mayor plus eight; whether a ninth seat exists or is vacant was not checked.
• City Clerk: Dawn Portner (outgoing) and Miranda Barfuss (incoming), recognized on 2026-09-01. The effective date is unconfirmed. See City Clerk Transition.
• Staff: City Manager Doug Krieger; City Attorney Mike DiSanto; Director of Transportation, Engineering and Development Jennifer Louden and Deputy Director Allison Laff; Police Chief Jason Arres; Fire Chief Mark Puknaitis.
• City Council regular meetings are usually the 1st and 3rd Tuesday at 7:00 PM in Council Chambers; budget and strategy workshops at 6:00 PM. Planning and Zoning Commission usually the 1st and 3rd Wednesday at 6:00 PM. These schedules are inferred from meeting dates, not from an official schedule page.
• Other bodies: Transportation Advisory Board, Riverwalk Commission, Board of Fire and Police, Public Utilities Advisory Board, Financial Advisory Board, SECA Commission, Historic Preservation Commission, Human Rights and Fair Housing Commission, Advisory Commission on Disabilities, Naper Settlement Museum Board and several pension and insurance boards.

Data quality notes

• Final minutes were read for City Council meetings of 2026-09-01, 2026-09-15 and 2026-10-06. Agendas only (outcomes not read) for 2026-09-21, 09-28, 10-07, 10-20, 10-21, 10-27 and 11-04. About 25 meetings of other boards are listed by status only.
• Legistar lists nothing after 2026-11-07. Meetings from 2026-11-10 to 2026-12-15 are known only from the titles of streams on the City's YouTube channel; their dates are derived from those titles and are unverified, and the streams may be scheduled placeholders.
• A stream titled Planning and Zoning Committee, September 16, has no matching event on the City's calendar.
• The Zoning Board of Appeals is not a Legistar body; variances appear to go through the Planning and Zoning Commission (unverified).
• The 2026-11-04 City Council meeting falls on a Wednesday, which is unusual.
• Public-forum speakers and award recipients are not named.
