# Streaming LIVE: Aurora Rules, Administration and Procedures Meeting | 10-20-2026

The City of Aurora Rules, Administration and Procedures Committee met on October 20, 2026. The committee approved appointments to the Aurora Housing Authority and the Aging Community Board. It amended and voted 4–1 to advance ordinance 26-0538 concerning department-head residency requirements: most department heads would be subject to a residency preference rather than a fixed residency requirement, while the 15-mile requirement for police and fire chiefs remains; the city clerk is excluded because state law requires the clerk to reside in Aurora. The committee also approved the pigeon-regulation ordinance, item 26-0624, by a 5–0 vote. Discussion focused on enforcement limits, privacy protections, and existing fines; no related spending or procurement was identified.

The committee held the proposed remote-participation ordinance for further information about city-issued devices, cybersecurity, and which boards and commissions would be covered. The hold passed 5–0. No procurement activity, contract awards, or budget allocations were identified in the meeting.
