Board authorizes village attorney to issue cease-and-desist to former mayor Keith Picow
Summary
Following an executive session, the board voted to authorize the village attorney to send a cease-and-desist notice to former mayor Keith Picow and to pursue legal remedies if demands are not immediately met.
After reconvening from executive session on July 21, the Orland Park Board of Trustees voted to authorize the village attorney to issue a cease-and-desist notice to former mayor Keith Picow and to pursue all remedies available under law should the demands not be met.
Trustee Leafblatt moved the post-executive-session motion, which the board approved by roll call. The motion directed the village attorney to issue the notice immediately and to pursue legal remedies if the demands were not met. The transcript records the motion passing with one recorded ‘‘no’’ vote by Trustee Kitsinas; other trustees and the mayor voted to approve the motion.
Why it matters: The board authorized immediate legal action against a named former official; the transcript records the board's decision but does not include the substance of the executive-session discussion that preceded the vote. The motion identifies a specific individual (former mayor Keith Picow) as the recipient of the cease-and-desist notice.
Next steps: The village attorney was authorized to issue the notice immediately and to pursue legal remedies if demands are not met. The transcript does not include the content of the cease-and-desist notice or any factual findings from the executive session.
