VILLAGE CLERK’S REPORT:

Village Clerk Martin announced future meetings.

STAFF REPORTS:

ADMINISTRATION:

Mr. Schloneger:

McHenry County has restated its interest in building a regional salt storage facility. This facility would benefit not only McHenry County, but surrounding municipalities that would have the option to also store extra salt. In 2017, the Village Board approved Resolution 2017-R- 53 directing staff to pursue a shared facility with the County. Now that this concept is being considered again, we will be following up with the County to pursue mutually beneficial options.

Mr. Kumbera:

The January 2024 Committee of the Whole Meeting will have the Algonquin Community Survey presented.
