Board amends motion to let Ford Heights VFD hold key to senior building for Cook County Sheriff access
Summary
Trustees approved an amendment directing the Ford Heights Volunteer Fire Department to hold a copy of the village key to the senior building and the emergency equipment room, allowing Cook County Sheriff's access through the fire department rather than directly issuing a key to the sheriff's office.
The board considered whether to give a copy of the village key to the Cook County Sheriff's Department to access the senior building and the room where emergency equipment is stored. After discussion the motion was amended so the Ford Heights Volunteer Fire Department would hold a copy of the key and provide access to the sheriff when needed.
The amended motion was moved and seconded and the board adopted the change on roll call. A trustee said the amendment was preferable to distributing keys directly to the sheriff’s office; the clerk read the motion as amended so the fire department would have the key to allow sheriff access. The board did not indicate any additional procedural steps beyond the vote recorded at the meeting.
The amendment was recorded as adopted; no changes to staffing or additional authorizations were described at the meeting.
