Resident honors volunteer Mary Anne Greichel during public comment; village to host dedication project
Summary
A resident delivered a public comment commemorating the late volunteer Mary Anne Greichel and said the village is coordinating with an Eagle Scout on a dedication at Village Hall; the board noted a concrete pad for the project had been poured.
A Roselle resident used the board’s public-comment period on July 14 to commemorate the life and community service of Mary Anne Greichel, who the speaker said died in July of the previous year. The resident, who was identified in the meeting as Terry, told the board that Greichel had been "an outstanding volunteer, leader, motivator, influencer, teacher, and a tremendous inspiration" and said, "Mary Anne truly was an unstoppable force of good," adding that the best way to honor her is to continue the community work she championed. After public comment, the mayor noted the village has been coordinating with an Eagle Scout to complete a dedication project at Village Hall in memory of Greichel and said public works had poured a concrete pad earlier that day in preparation for the dedication. The mayor invited family and community members to participate in the pending dedication. The remarks were delivered during the public comment portion of the meeting; they were ceremonial and did not prompt board action recorded on the agenda. The transcript contains several spellings of the volunteer’s name; the board’s earliest reading of the comment used the spelling "Mary Anne Greichel."
