for the school supply program.
5. General Assistance: Will be administered per the Township Supervisors of Illinois
General Assistance Handbook 2017. We will set the GA Flat Grant amount at $325 per
month with $50 per additional person. The asset disregard to determine financial
eligibility will be increased to $600. The income disregard will not change. We currently
do not have any active GA cases. We do have this in the budget and do not have an
Emergency Assistance Fund.
6. Quickbooks Workforce: Mary and Brian still need to sign up to receive online pay
information.
Road Commissioner, Frank Sturm, II:
1. The new truck has arrived. The 2018 truck is still months away from being delivered.
2. UCM completed overlay work.
3. Frontier is still charging us for the 6 month when we had no service. Frank will work
with them to resolve this.
4. Potholes are still being repaired. The leaf pick-up trucks will soon be prepared. Pick-up
will start around November 1.
5. IDOT received bids for salt for the winter. They were all too high and were rejected. A
rebid is scheduled and is also expected to be high.
6. Mossville Rd will be closed from Robinson Ct to Indian Hills due to water main work. It
is expected to take 4-8 weeks.
7. IDOT will be closing the overpass on Mossville Rd over Rt 6 for bridge repairs next year.
Details will be forthcoming.
Assessor, Mark Brabant: Sent a report that the Board of Review has closed for the year so
there will not be any value changes until the books open next year. The Board of Review has
received significantly fewer complaints than in previous years. That is due, in part, to the current
housing market and homes that sell at or above the listing price.
Trustees:
Trustee Parr: Has heard from Roger Lakin, of Lake of the Woods subdivision about his yard
erosion issue.
Trustee Molohon: Has brought information from ABI Force for possible equipment to be
purchased to aid in the upkeep of the park and ball fields.

approved for payment. Trustee Molohon moved to pay the bills, seconded by Trustee Greene
followed by a unanimous “Aye” voice vote.
Adjournment: There being no further business to come before the board, Trustee Molohon
moved to adjourn, seconded by Trustee Parr, followed by a unanimous “Aye” voice vote. The
meeting adjourned at 7:32 PM.
Respectfully submitted this 13th day of October 2021.
