After public comment, Maywood board directs attorney to review alleged insurance denial for Trevor Black
Summary
During public comment, speakers raised an alleged denial of insurance affecting Trevor Black; the board unanimously directed Village Attorney Michael Jurusik to obtain and review filings related to the matter.
Public commenters raised concerns about an alleged insurance denial involving Trevor Black during the Village of Maywood Board of Trustees' Oct. 20 special meeting, and the board voted to have the village attorney review the filings.
During the public-comment period, T. Black and E. Shakespeare addressed the board about the insurance matter. Village Manager Willie Norfleet and David Myers, the director of community development, responded to the comments. Trustee N. Booker moved and Trustee A. Sanchez seconded a motion directing Village Attorney Michael Jurusik to bring forward and review material filed regarding the alleged denial of insurance concerning Trevor Black; the motion passed by roll call.
Why it matters: the motion directs village legal staff to collect and review records related to a resident's claim about insurance coverage — a formal step that may lead to further action depending on what the attorney finds.
The board did not resolve the underlying insurance claim at the meeting; the motion asks the attorney to assemble and present relevant filings for review. The meeting record does not state the precise nature of the insurance denial or the insurer involved, and those details remain "not specified" in the minutes.
Next steps: Village Attorney Michael Jurusik was directed to review and bring material to the board; any subsequent legal or policy action will depend on his findings and further board consideration.
