  • Board granted authority to negotiate an intergovernmental agreement with Northfield & Maine Townships for Flood Control Project on Central Road. (Agenda Item 22-0059)

New Business
:
  • Commissioner McGowan was lauded for her work in organizing the annual African-American History Month for the MWRD. The Commissioner will retire from the Board after 31 years of service.
  • Commissioner Davis thanked the staff for their work on the Covid vaccination policy and on reaching resolution of contract negotiations.
  • Several commissioners strongly urged a timely and fair resolution to a worker’s injury claim stemming from an explosion in 2018. President Steele charged E.D. Perkovich to keep the Board advised. Commissioner Corral Sepulveda was disturbed that the union and the employee’s family had to resort to using the public comment period to push for resolution of the claim. Perkovich assured the Board he would keep them apprised.

Meeting was adjourned unanimously by a roll call vote at 12:08 p.m.


Note:
Placement of Executive Session remained unchanged between the Committee of the Whole and the business meeting. There was no executive session at the Jan. 20 meeting.
