Resident asks McCullom Lake board to form committee to preserve lake and create bird sanctuary
Summary
Al Kopcke urged trustees to form a committee to preserve McCullom Lake and to establish a bird sanctuary in memory of his sister, citing interactions with the EPA, DNR and Army Corps of Engineers.
Resident Al Kopcke addressed the board about property he purchased at the end of McCullom Lake and described difficulties he has encountered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Kopcke said he wants to preserve the lake and proposed creating a bird sanctuary in honor of his sister; he asked whether a committee could be formed to pursue the idea.
Trustees heard the request as part of public comment but did not record a vote or a formal referral to staff in the minutes. The board will consider the request during future discussions or assign it to the appropriate committee if members choose to do so.
