Christopher Storer resigns from Champaign County Board as county approves his appointment to Urbana‑Champaign Sanitary District
Summary
At its May 22 meeting the Champaign County Board accepted Christopher Storer’s resignation effective at the end of the meeting and unanimously approved a resolution appointing him to the Urbana‑Champaign Sanitary District for a three‑year term starting June 1, 2025.
Christopher Storer announced his resignation from the Champaign County Board at the board’s May 22 meeting, and the board voted to approve his appointment as a trustee of the Urbana‑Champaign Sanitary District.
Storer told the board, “It’s with mixed emotions that I tender my resignation from the Champaign County Board as of the end of this meeting.” The board then considered and unanimously approved Resolution No. 2025‑165 advising and consenting to County Executive Steve Summers’s appointment of Storer as a sanitary district trustee for a term commencing June 1, 2025, and ending May 31, 2028.
The resolution cites state law and requires the appointee to post a bond. The text of the resolution states a bond amount of $1,000 required under “70 ILCS 2405/3.” The board’s action included a motion, a second and a voice vote; the chair announced the motion carried by the same sign.
Board members offered public comments recognizing Storer’s service during the meeting and later approved a separate ceremonial resolution honoring his years on the county board. The board read and adopted Resolution No. 2025‑176 memorializing Storer’s service from Oct. 19, 2017, through May 31, 2025.
The appointment is an administrative action requiring the county clerk to transmit a certified copy of the appointing resolution and for Storer to file the required bond as stated in the resolution. No conditions or contingencies were stated on the record for the appointment beyond the bond requirement.
The board adjourned following completion of business for the evening.
