Resident asks Iroquois County to back sale of parcels to U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Summary
A resident representing 'Friends of the K' asked the Planning & Zoning Committee April 7 to circulate a resolution or letter of support that would enable her group to sell parcels to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for refuge expansion and conservation; staff agreed to circulate materials and place the request on next month’s agenda.
Jane Johnson, who identified herself as representing a local group called Friends of the K, spoke during the public‑comment portion of the April 7 meeting to request a county letter of support or resolution to enable her group to continue operating in Willow Estates and to sell conservation parcels to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
She left maps and copies of prior supporting resolutions and requested staff circulate the materials to committee members and add the item to next month’s agenda so the county board can consider a support resolution. Staff said they will accept her materials and add the request to the next agenda packet.
Next steps: staff to distribute Jane Johnson’s materials to the committee and place the request on the next meeting agenda for consideration by the committee and possible referral to the county board.
