Clerk: IML time capsule invite, IDOT approves sign replacements for North Henderson
Summary
Clerk Melody Hall told trustees the Illinois Municipal League invited municipalities to submit an item for a national 150th-anniversary time capsule (deadline Dec. 31, 2025; opening July 4, 2076) and reported IDOT approved replacement of signs in town with a quoted package of 12 stop signs, 5 yield signs and 2 no-parking signs plus posts/parts/labor.
Clerk Melody Hall opened the meeting’s announcements by summarizing two upcoming items for the trustees’ attention. She said the Illinois Municipal League invited the village to participate in America’s 150th Anniversary time capsule; Hall noted the submission deadline is Dec. 31, 2025, and that “the time capsule will be opened July 4, 2076.”
Hall also reported the Illinois Department of Transportation has approved replacement of the village’s traffic signs. She read the vendor quote for the work — “12 stop signs, 5 yield signs and 2 no parking signs as well as all posts, parts and labor” — and asked the board to help identify which sign belongs at which location. The clerk said one longtime volunteer, Carol, had a list but Hall did not have it at the meeting and suggested Trustee Brown check with Ron, who she thought might have the list.
The announcement also included a brief operational note: Hall told trustees that a chlorine leak had been repaired on June 29 by a vendor identified as Tony’s and that a local resident, Bob Shull, had visited about town matters earlier in the month. The items were presented for the board’s information and no formal action beyond future follow-up was taken.
