Makanda board conditionally approves IML 'Early Return to Work' resolution
Summary
The board approved a resolution stating the Village would implement the Illinois Municipal League Early Return to Work policy if the IML Risk Management division signs off; motion passed unanimously.
The Village of Makanda Board voted Aug. 5 to approve a resolution committing the village to adopt an Illinois Municipal League (IML) Early Return to Work policy if the IML Risk Management division approves the text. President Tina Shingleton told the board legal counsel had drafted the resolution and the clerk had sent it to IML for approval. Trustee Cardenaz moved to approve the resolution contingent on IML approval; Trustee Wolff seconded. The minutes record the board's action: "Trustee Cardenaz made a motion to approve the Resolution regarding Return-to-Work Policy if approved by IML Risk Management. It was seconded by Trustee Wolff. All members present at roll call voted yes. Motion carried."
The minutes note the village has no full‑time employees now and that IML advised it would accept a resolution stating the village would implement the policy if it hires a full‑time employee in the future. The board's vote is therefore contingent on IML confirmation; the minutes do not show an immediate change to employee policy or any new personnel actions.
Clerk records indicate the resolution was sent to IML but that the village had not yet received IML's formal approval by the time of the meeting. The board's action establishes intent and gives staff authority to finalize the matter upon IML sign‑off.
