The Village of Palos Park is set to celebrate "Unplug Illinois Day" on July 12, 2025, encouraging residents to disconnect from their electronic devices and engage with local parks and recreational activities. This initiative aims to promote community interaction and appreciation for the natural environment.

During the recent Village Council meeting, officials expressed gratitude to Charles Wells for his contributions to the community, marking a special acknowledgment of his efforts. The council also approved several key appointments and reappointments to various boards and committees, ensuring continuity in local governance. Angela Roderick and John Marsh were reappointed to the Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals, respectively, with terms extending to June 1, 2030. Additionally, Don Portuguese and Mary Peterson were reappointed to the Recreation Board, while Ann Oliver will continue her work on the Beautification Committee.

New appointments included Susan Chisa to the Palos Park Pension Board, filling a vacancy, and Sherry Lucas to the Tree Board. Both appointments were unanimously approved by the council, reflecting a commitment to maintaining effective leadership within the village's committees.

The meeting concluded with a routine consent agenda, which included various items for approval without further discussion, streamlining the council's decision-making process. The emphasis on community engagement and effective governance highlights the village's ongoing efforts to foster a vibrant and connected community.
