Mayor Dan MacGillis stated that the Strategic Planning Meeting was a dismal event due to low attendance. The Mayor also stated that the information regarding the meeting was sent to those not in attendance and would like them to review the material and respond by Monday, September 10th with comments or corrections on the general format of the document and to also take all of the projects listed and prioritize them as they deem necessary.

Mayor MacGillis also commented that the Shared Services event was unique and very informative. It is being operated through the Northern Illinois University Government Studies division by Dr. Kurt Thurmaier and Dr. Gregory T. Kuhn. They are the nation’s most leading authorities on consolidating services and have worked on, and have experience in county and municipal mergers. There were quite a few taxing districts represented and the meeting was very informative. The village has been working on this for months and it’s a good first step to understanding our neighbors, as well as the process of shared services that may lead to good things in the future.

Trustee Patel apologized for not attending the shared services event due to prior obligations. He also thanked Police Chief Michael Gillette and Officer Nicole Cheney for a job well done on the presentation given at Park School regarding devices being used by the children.
