The clerk told trustees about an IML invitation for communities to join America's 250th Anniversary project (requires pledge, resolution, and a time-capsule artifact) and reported the treasurer has withdrawn her resignation; the Board will revisit the commemoration matter on Sept. 23.
During the Clerk's Report on Sept. 9, Clerk Laura Cassidy-Hatchet informed the Board about an Illinois Municipal League (IML) email from Brad Cole regarding America's 250th Anniversary celebration.
