Summary

Mister Koenig, a retired attorney with roughly 45 years of civil-rights and law-enforcement litigation experience, was reappointed to the McHenry County ethics commission for a term through 2029 after a short introduction and endorsements from committee members.

Mister Koenig told the committee he is seeking reappointment to the ethics commission, noting he has served nearly three years and recently retired after a roughly 45-year legal career representing public entities and litigating federal civil-rights and law-enforcement-related matters.

“I’m requesting reappointment to the ethics commission,” Mister Koenig said, describing prior service on zoning and other local boards and naming Scott Hartman as a recommender. He confirmed he was requesting the longer term and said he applied through the county website.

Terry endorsed Koenig’s contributions, calling his work “invaluable,” and other members had no substantive objections. The committee moved to recommend Koenig’s reappointment (motion by Terry, second by Pam) and recorded a unanimous roll-call vote in favor.

Koenig told the panel he would leave the meeting to exercise after the vote. The committee’s recommendation will be processed per the county’s appointment procedures.
