Township Approves Citizens Group's Agenda, but Things Remain Contentious

Questions arise over bills from the township's legal firm, with some trustees suggesting new lawyers be retained.

It took only two minutes for Wheatland Township Supervisor Todd Morse to make a motion to withdraw the special meeting agenda the township board and its attorney had drawn up and for the board to unanimously approve it.  Instead, the agenda drafted by an attorney for a residents group demanding more details about the proposed township building prevailed and will be the basis for discussion and voting in a special town meeting set for 7 p.m. May 23.  “They got an agenda in, and we withdraw our agenda,” Morse said.  For the last month, the two sides had been bickering over language for the meeting agenda, finally putting forward two separate documents for meetings slated for the same time and place. The township board had approved its own …

Update: Wheatland Will Use Meeting Agenda Drafted by Citizens Group

Doug Ibendahl, former counsel for the Illinois Republican Party, is working with residents who want more information on options for a new town hall.

UPDATE Doug Ibendahl, the attorney representing a group of citizens who have petitioned for a special meeting on the proposed $1.5 million Wheatland Township hall building, said today the township will use the group's agenda for the 7 p.m. May 23 meeting. Township Clerk Chuck Kern confirmed that is the agenda that is now posted at the township hall, and that the matter will be discussed at a 7 p.m. Thursday meeting, just before the regular 7:30 p.m. board meeting. “It’s official,” Ibendahl said. “At the end of the day, this is supposed to be the electors' meeting and their agenda." The group's agenda calls for a needs assessment, which will put a price on every need identified, and for an analysis of the “viable space options” to …

Wheatland Sets Town Hall Meeting Agenda without Resident Input

A dozen residents urged the board to postpone a decision until their attorney could weigh in, but the board proceeded with a 3-2 vote.

Despite a dozen residents asking that the decision be postponed, the Wheatland Township Board Friday approved a special meeting agenda to determine the fate of a proposed $2 million township hall. Board members said they were trying to do as the electorate asked by establishing an agenda for the May 23 meeting that covers all options, including abandoning plans for the new building at 103rd Street and Route 59, proceeding with construction plans or taking an alternative route, such as leasing new space or buying an existing building. However, representatives for the “transparency” group that petitioned for the special meeting at the April 12 Wheatland Township annual meeting said they’d not been given sufficient time to help draft the …

Wheatland Residents Demand Another Look at Plans for a New Township Hall

Record crowds turned out for Tuesday's annual town meeting, voting another special meeting to re-visit town hall options.

More than 130 people attended the Wheatland Township annual town meeting Tuesday, where a vote was made to stop all action on a proposed $1.5 million town hall until township officials can provide more details. The issue will be discussed again at a special, as-yet-unscheduled town meeting. Because electors voted to hold that meeting, they will have the authority to action on the issue. Opposition to the new building, proposed for a site at 4232 Tower Court in Naperville, has been building in recent weeks. But the issue is not a new one -- it's been the topic of several town meetings since 2004. Some residents of the township, which encompasses parts of the village of Plainfield and the city of Naperville, believe it would be less …

I have physically been in this building. I will admit that the office space stinks of mold and I am certain that it is an unhealthy environment for the employees. It smells dirty and it is very dated. The amount of water damage evident cannot be good for the office equipment, either. With that said, I agree that the township needs a new space but I do not agree that a new building is the answer, …   more ›
