Summary

Alderman Hallett read a brief poem and announced he will resign from the City Council effective Dec. 31; the chair thanked him for his service and said appointments to committees will be made at the next meeting.

Alderman Hallett used his new-business time at the Dec. 15 West Chicago City Council meeting to announce his resignation from the council effective Dec. 31. Speaking briefly and reciting lines from a poem, he said he had "miles to go" and that his resignation would be effective at the end of the month.

The chair thanked Hallett for his service to the city and said the council would make appointments at the next meeting to fill committee assignments created by the vacancy. No formal vote or further administrative action was taken at the Dec. 15 meeting to fill the seat; the chair said appointments and committee adjustments would be handled at a subsequent meeting.

Why it matters: The resignation reduces the councils membership and will require appointments to committee seats; the council noted upcoming committee meetings and said it would address appointments at its next meeting.
