The board approved an out‑of‑cycle community partnership grant of $1,600 to the Riverside sesquicentennial committee to pay a band for the “150 soiree” set for Aug. 9, 2025. “Our request is to fund the cost of a band for the 100 and fiftieth soiree,” Ron Delcote, director of Parks and Recreation and staff liaison to the sesquicentennial committee, told the board. The band will perform on the train platform at Guthrie Park and the committee said non‑soiree attendees may also enjoy the music. As part of the sponsorship the committee offered a ticket for every elected township official and agreed to place the township logo on event banners and promotional material. Trustee DeCostela moved approval; Trustee Clark seconded; the motion passed in a roll call vote with Trustee Clark, Trustee DeCostela and Supervisor Wilt voting yes.

Separately, the board granted the Riverside Friends of the Library a waiver of the $300 rental fee for a bingo fundraiser; the board recorded that it would still require a $200 security deposit and an insurance certificate because alcohol will be present. A motion to approve the library’s request — to waive the rental fee and allow alcohol with required insurance — passed on a unanimous roll call.

The board also approved the mental health board’s request to serve alcohol at a pizza reception after the board’s June 18 meeting, contingent on the township receiving the required insurance certificate. Trustee DeCostela moved the motion; Trustee Clark seconded; the roll call vote was unanimous.

On publicity, the board authorized a one‑time quarter‑page “well‑wisher” advertisement in the local Delaplane magazine’s August sesquicentennial issue at the quarter‑page rate ($399). The board heard that the issue is distributed broadly in and near the township, is published every other month, and that the ad deadline is June 20 (noted in the meeting as “next Friday” from the June 10 meeting date). Trustee Clark moved the motion and Trustee DeCostela seconded; the motion carried.

Board members discussed funding sources and committee fundraising. Ron Delcote said the village is covering staff time and will cover any funding shortfall; fundraising activities include auctions of street signs and contests. The committee reported mixed success with sign auctions (one sign reportedly reached $600). Board members asked why the township was approached outside the normal grant cycle; Delcote said the committee deferred the request until it assessed funds available and then made the out‑of‑cycle ask.

Decisions made at the June 10 meeting were recorded as formal approvals. The board directed the clerk and staff to process payments and ensure required insurance certificates and security deposits are received before events involving alcohol.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Township of Riverside Board of Trustees Regular Meeting 06-10-25","oneSentenceSummary","The Riverside Township Board on June 10 approved a $1,600 community partnership grant to fund a band at the village sesquicentennial soiree, waived a $300 rental fee for a library bingo fundraiser (with a $200 security deposit and required insurance), approved alcohol service for a mental health board reception with insurance pending, and authorized a quarter‑page ad in the Delaplane magazine’s sesquicentennial issue.","taxTitle","Riverside, Cook County, Illinois","taxId",70350,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6200821,"Cook County tax sale postponed; Riverside assessor says tax‑bill and appeals timing will shift",195,399000,594000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3805701-dd7f110d15e36883b5c0e9742036e46a&start=399&end=594","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3805701-dd7f110d15e36883b5c0e9742036e46a/thumbnail_399000.jpg","/articles/6200821/Riverside/Cook-County/Illinois/Cook-County-tax-sale-postponed-Riverside-assessor-says-taxbill-and-appeals-timing-will-shift","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6200821-4c92701738db062036536ffa16a66290/orig.mp4?Expires=1773706022&Signature=KWc2PVytWo0LqYlCYauc8RWAfx7qV7IgqvYmoDhJ4rkth2ckK~ddMeIjmJ976mp~q4Q-DuXLMfgB1ZWAIO3h~akgv348JipyzwGfewZDe41TgfannVl2aVY510JWSueZadbOYgalQCvfXm36c2rWDj2cu41ZYFdqvnJP4JLHTg7VcwcRrRB96~k2YPBwHIQfpizyvI3Zw8gjNbJZFVXTusBKBTD9wmtXi2nB5qs6~n4Bwb-8u~Cj7JzAwny1EiUVj9B3SOs6Z-U5vQeZyC8CNbg21j~Kf4VXFVSDofyiw4byDHM1ACGTFVIcgrdBfUA54CUYPZdBKG3Dn1S4NfQ5TA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A representative of the Riverside Township Assessor’s Office told the Township Board on June 10 that Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas’ petition prompted the Illinois General Assembly to postpone the county tax sale and that the schedule for tax bills and assessor appeals will shift.

“The tax sale has been officially postponed. She did petition the Illinois assembly, and they did honor her request to postpone the tax sale,” the assessor’s office representative said, describing the action as a pause meant to provide relief after sharp increases on some installment tax bills.

The assessor’s office representative said the postponement is expected to last at least nine months and that the installment bills for 2024 will likely be due around Oct. 1, 2025, rather than on their original timetable. The representative cautioned these dates are not firm and described legislative proposals under consideration, including proposals for circuit‑breaker rebates or other relief.

The assessor’s office also said the 2025 assessor appeals results for Riverside Township would be posted on Wednesday, June 12, and that the Board of Review appeals are targeted for August. The assessor’s office representative said residents were receiving results letters and that more information will appear on the assessor’s website and in the local paper.

Trustees asked about the impact on township receipts. The assessor’s office representative said Riverside Township historically has a high tax payment rate — “over 97%” — and that while delayed receipts could affect cash flow, the township is currently in good shape and not likely to face immediate cash shortages.

Board members did not take a formal vote on the matter; the discussion served as an informational update and prompted no immediate board action.","A representative of the assessor's office told the Riverside Township Board the Cook County tax sale has been postponed after a petition by Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas and that tax‑bill installment timing and assessor appeal postings will change.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6200826,"Riverside trustee John Carroll Jr. resigns; board declares vacancy, starts 60‑day appointment clock",336,2073000,2409000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3805701-dd7f110d15e36883b5c0e9742036e46a&start=2073&end=2409","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3805701-dd7f110d15e36883b5c0e9742036e46a/thumbnail_2073000.jpg","/articles/6200826/Riverside/Cook-County/Illinois/Riverside-trustee-John-Carroll-Jr-resigns-board-declares-vacancy-starts-60day-appointment-clock","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6200826-b97d6c8ad0efb52b5ba0450760a94fa3/orig.mp4?Expires=1773706022&Signature=OfiTLIGQoSYekFz5eDD2Wh-QG6AEcjHZn8bnYud6E6g2GgWgvhmi6933ODKSu85cEBUTQmv6HYnHVBEn9b27cdEOueqDRdLdq6L2jmDeCzLmgPTa4SrN1b2aAWjLgV5XoeXZREJNUJSLPiuQmNhdYK26qod5lVNwwgt0u9j9A71AgREPDp4dj60Uqg3WLdLPu1V0EcZtEQfFj2hoCiuiMBzHCQC4vn~4DVjBHdp0pQ2Rgq-Dwg5hjeOBe6jEjmVbAuQUAC29ji6iK49GmQpI9bJ-C2yunggKaiyV8gf19~~EJL7zQl5grlJr9aUDSxlGdnkxnfgN15zcUnt88yr9zA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustee John Carroll Jr. resigned from the Riverside Township Board effective May 22, 2025, and the board voted unanimously on June 10 to accept the resignation and declare a vacancy.

The resignation letter read to the board states, in part, that Carroll will be sworn in the following morning as a subcircuit judge; the letter set his effective resignation time as 11:59 p.m. on May 22. Supervisor Wilt presented the letter and asked for a motion to accept it.

Legal counsel advised the board on the timing and process. “In terms of when is the vacancy created, it's according to the statute when the board, accepts the resignation,” the legal counsel said, adding that the board then has 60 days from the acceptance vote to fill the seat by appointment. If the board does not fill the seat within 60 days, the statute provides a procedure for selection by electors.

Trustee DeCostela moved to accept the resignation and declare a vacancy; Trustee Clark seconded. Clerk Reyes called the roll; Trustee Clark, Trustee DeCostela and Supervisor Wilt voted yes and the motion carried.

Board members said they have already published the vacancy notice on the township bulletin board, website and Facebook page and solicited letters of interest. Supervisor Wilt said one letter of interest has been received so far and that the board aims to appoint a replacement at the July meeting rather than wait the full statutory period.

The board discussion also addressed practical questions about advertising and party‑affiliation rules for appointments; legal counsel said the statute does not prescribe a minimum advertisement period and noted past practice of interviewing interested candidates. The board did not set a final appointment date at the June 10 meeting.

The board’s formal acceptance of the resignation triggers the 60‑day appointment timeframe under state statute; the vacancy remains open until the board appoints a replacement or the statutory alternative selection process occurs.","Trustee John Carroll Jr. submitted a resignation effective May 22, 2025; the Riverside Township Board accepted the resignation, declared a vacancy and underscored a 60‑day window to fill the seat under state statute.","actionData","errors"]
