Libertyville Township Meeting

toonight was a regular Libertyville Township Meeting. It started at pm and was very quick today. All township trustees were present, so was the clerk, the supervisor and the highway commissioner as well as a few of our office staff who are regularly there. We approved bills as always, asked questions if we had any.

The highway commissioner talked about looking out for ticks and bats this summer season.

The supervisor report covered the # of people who came to our food pantry, which was 236 households, 661 people. She also lists all the organizations and companies and people that donate. Thank you so much for donating to the Libertyville Township Food pantry.

June 9 is senior picnic day at Independence Grove from 9am - 12. We are donating and giving out hot dogs as last year. If you are a Senior 55+ come out and enjoy the day.

The food pantry is going to have the moved out on June 7 and power diconnected to follow on June 9 and June 11 the employee parking lot will be closed.

There was a tea to thank all of our food pantry volunteers on April 22 that went well.

This year we will have a float again in the Libertyville days parade. the Theme is Rock this Town and we will be Rockin' the Township and Open space and have the Buckley Road band joining us on the float and rocking out!.

We had an update on our Wetland Mitigation Bank at Atkinson Road. We are awaiting approval from EPA/Fish adn Wild life and the Corp already advised.

For new business there is a township citizen who has a house that is in the Des Plaines River flood zone and has applied for a grant to get relief, basically for the government to buy out their house but the Township has to consider if we will help too, whether it be with money or in assisting in the land clearance and if we take this on it could lead to opening a can of worms in the area b/c there is an entire community of houses in this area. Not sure if the Township can or has the funds to take this on. If we take over the house, which gets knocked down, we then take the land and add it to the Open Space... we will discuss in next township Meeting on June 10th at 7pm. We need to study and learn more b/c this is the first we ahve heard about this.

June 15 at 4pm will be the ground breaking ceremony for the Libertyville Township new food pantry.

come join us.
