Chicago City Council — Week in Review: June 29–July 1, 2026

Overview

Five committee meetings were on the calendar between June 29 and July 1, 2026. Two were cancelled. The three that did convene held no recorded votes, and no transcripts are on file for any of them. The week was one of introductions and agendas, not decisions.

Committee on Housing and Real Estate — June 29

The committee held a subject-matter hearing on O2026-0026554, the Protecting Renter’s Ordinance (PRO). The legislation would comprehensively update Chicago’s 40-year-old Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance, codify the city’s eviction counsel program, and reassign related powers and duties within the Department of Housing. The agenda stated plainly that no votes would be taken — this was a direct-introduction hearing only.

Committee on Police and Fire — June 30

Chaired by Ald. Chris Taliaferro, the committee’s agenda carried two items: the reappointment of Walter Schroeder to the Chicago Emergency Telephone System Board (A2026-0025555), and a presentation of COPA’s Q1 2026 Quarterly Report. Public comment was scheduled on each item before any vote. No vote record or transcript is on file.

Committee on Transportation and Public Way — July 1

The committee was scheduled and published but filed no agenda items and left no agenda document or transcript on record. Nothing substantive can be reported from this meeting.
