Chief Coles details training invite, Co‑Op hiring idea and FOIA ruling in village's favor
Summary
Chief Bob Coles reported an invitation from the Attorney General to attend specialized training in Urbana, proposed restarting a Co‑Op that would lead to water-license funding for participating students, and said a recent FOIA was ruled in the village's favor.
Chief Bob Coles used the administrative report to outline several items for the board. He said he had been invited by the Attorney General to attend specialized training in Urbana, Illinois, on child pornography and exploitation cases, and proposed restarting a Co‑Op program that would allow students to work for Public Works while attending high school.
Coles said the village would pay for a student's water license upon successful completion of the Co‑Op program. He also reported that "there was another FOIA sent into the Attorney General’s office and ruled in the village’s favor. There was no wrongdoing, in any part from the village," according to his statement to the board.
Why it matters: the Co‑Op program could create a local recruitment pipeline into Public Works, and the FOIA ruling clears the village of alleged procedural issues raised by a requester, per the Chief's report.
