What is the status of the Northwest Pallet et. al. court case?

UPDATE: 7:00 PM May 14, 2013. Ms. Courier provided her March 12, 2013 motion requesting that the defendants be held in contempt. This appears to be the issue of the June 6, 2013 hearing.

The March motion will be posted shortly.

UPDATE:  May 17, 2013:  I have not received confirmation on new wood mulch being dumped on the site and therefore have struck that statement.

Here is all which court records currently tells of this case.  It is scheduled for another hearing on June 6, 2013.

Bill on May 1, 2013 asked that the court case be discussed at this Wednesday’s Boone County Board meeting, however it is not on the agenda.  I asked again on Monday May 13 and based upon Mr. Terrinoni’s advise I sent this email to the States Attorney.  As soon as I hear something I will notify the public.
 
Status of the Woodstock Road mulch pile

From

To
CC

On the advise of the County Administrator, Ken Terrinoni, I am contacting you directly concerning the status of your efforts to resolve the zoning violation involving Northwest Pallet et.al. and the use of Woodstock Road site for wood chip/mulch storage.

I have a number of constituents who wish an update on your court actions. One of them has contacted your office and relayed his observation that new wood mulch is being dump on the site and then is being reloaded for shipment from the site. What is going on? I thought court action was being pursued to require that Northwest Pallet's operation on Woodstock Road cease.

Please provide a summary regarding the status of this case. Please include the following in your reply.

1. Is case number #2012CH319 the only court action which your office is involved regarding Northwest Pallet and the mulch storage/fire issue?

2. In case #2012CH319, there was a motion on 3-12-2013, could you supply a summary (or a photocopy of that motion)?

3. Case 2012CH319 is scheduled for a hearing on June 6, 2013, can you supply a summary of the county's position/requests to the court in that hearing?

4. In your opinion is the dumping of new wood chips/mulch in keeping with the current restraining order? Please supply a copy of the current restraining order.

I would preferred that your response be by email however feel free to call me at 815 544 5115 . Either electronic or inter-office delivery of documents would be acceptable.

As always, thank you for your help.

Parents wanted to give Kishwaukee families something educational and fun, something they could use for years to come. The remaining PTO funds are being spent on a community celebration Saturday and other miscellaneous expenses
