Green Island authorizes mayor to sign MOU with Church of the Good Shepherd
Summary
The board authorized the mayor to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Church of the Good Shepherd to permit use of the church building for emergencies in exchange for village services such as driveway and parking-lot plowing; motion carried by voice vote.
The Village Board authorized the mayor to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Church of the Good Shepherd that formalizes a reciprocal arrangement for emergency and event use of the church building in exchange for the village providing certain services such as plowing the church driveway and parking lot.
Chair (speaker 2) said the village has used the church building for emergencies and events for several years and explained that the MOU clarifies that the church’s facilities are used only after the village has met higher-priority obligations and when crews are already mobilized. Trustee (speaker 4) moved to authorize the mayor to sign the MOU; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
The board framed the agreement as part of existing mutual-aid and intermunicipal cooperation practices; the meeting did not specify any changes to village staffing or budgetary commitments beyond those described in the MOU summary.
