The city is projected to return $27,000 worth of tax increment financing district money to the taxing bodies.
The issue was three-fold: leaders started discussing how to allocate the money too late, aldermen got caught up in political games and Mother Nature made it difficult for developers to work

"The vacancy shall be filled within 60 days by appointment of the chairman of the county board with the advice and consent of the board. The appointee shall be of the same political party as the person he succeeds was at the time of his election. If the county board is elected by district, the appointee must be a member of that district. If more than 28 months remain in the term, the vacancy shall be filled at the next general election.

Children maneuvered their bikes through two obstacle courses that morning. Upon passing they received a certificate, bike driver’s license and voucher for food from Coley’s Coolers, which has a fleet of ice cream trucks serving much of Boone County.

Brown said the district is optimistic because ridership continues to increase.
After the meeting she said she would like to start meeting with city officials as soon as possible to explore funding options and create a plan for the future. Now that the service has been in effect for 1½ years, she said she would like to serve residents on their current needs.
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.

From
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.

Parents wanted to give Kishwaukee families something educational and fun, something they could use for years to come.
