7. Report of Township

back. The food pantry usage is up again. Mr. Clarke thanked Jim Healy and Jim Vondran for their assistance,
and Mr. Vondran noted that the Friends of Lisle Township is receiving donations. Mr. Clarke reported that the other township
programs are running smoothly.
8. Reports of Township Officers: Highway
Commissioner Dow reported that he attended a public meeting at Meadowglen School last Thursday and there were numerous complaints regarding
a stoplight at 75th and Ranchview, as well as 79th and Greene Road for access to the Forest
Preserve. Mr. Dow described that all 9 townships in the county have contracted with the county to jointly bid out salt
for the next year. The State program last year did not obtain favorable prices, and some townships paid triple for salt
this winter. Asphalt prices are expected to increase substantially again this year, so his department will try
heat-scarfing, where the road pavement is scraped, melted and re-laid in place as new pavement. He is starting the
police patrol program for the summer.
Assessor
Trowbridge reported that the lower level of his building has flooded twice in the past month. After the first flood, he paid
to have the building cleaned up, and then it flooded again. He has been told that the drains around the building are not
adequate, and they back up. A box drain is also needed in front of the door to the lower level. The
basement wall board has been getting wet, so the bottom few inches had to be removed. All carpeting has been
removed.
9. Other
Business: The Annual Meeting will be held in the food pantry.
