Trustee defends November meeting legality; board hears bench, flagpole and snow-removal remarks
Summary
Committee member Terrah Bevolo defended the validity of a November meeting under the Open Meetings Act. Trustees suggested a bench at 407 Sinclair Ave., noted a planned flagpole at Village Hall, and Mayor Callahan thanked residents and urged decorum online.
Committee member Terrah Bevolo addressed remarks alleging that the November board meeting was illegal, stating she read Illinois state statutes, provided the definition of a quorum and listed attendees to assert the November meeting complied with the Open Meetings Act. The minutes record Bevolo’s statement but do not record a named claimant who had alleged the meeting was illegal.
Committee member Terry Chester suggested installing a bench outside 407 Sinclair Ave. for bus-stop users; Mayor TJ Callahan said he would investigate. Greg Adams asked about installing a flagpole outside Village Hall; Mayor Callahan said a flagpole is already planned when the Senior Center is completed. In closing remarks, Mayor TJ Callahan thanked Public Works and residents for snow removal assistance and asked board members to raise concerns directly rather than on social media, saying he "loves seeing the community come together in a positive way."
