Consent Agenda Item J: Trustee McAvoy requested this item be removed from
Consent since he voted against this item back in 1997 and would still vote against this
ordinance again today. Trustee McAvoy feels caution should be taken by all snow plow
drivers and the Village should be responsible for any and all damage to the mailboxes.
Trustee Johnson asked how the situation is currently handled. Village Administrator
Dixon provided the Board with this information.
Village President Tolomei stated mailboxes are installed in “harms way” with damage
unavoidable and does not believe the Village should be responsible.
Trustee Poynton agrees with Trustee McAvoy since a similar situation almost happened
to his mailbox sometime ago.
Trustee Branding feels some policy should be put in place versus an ordinance.
Trustee McAvoy feels the residents deserve a replacement of the same “like, kind and
quality” as the original mailbox.
With nothing new to add, President Tolomei suggested we move ahead with a vote.
MOTION was made by Trustee Callahan, seconded by Trustee Taylor, to approve an
ordinance amending section 7-1-5-1 of the Lake Zurich Municipal Code related to
damage to mailboxes in rights of way.
AYES: 4 President Tolomei, Trustees Callahan, Johnson, and Taylor
NAYS: 3 Trustees Branding, McAvoy and Poynton
ABSENT: 0
MOTION CARRIED
Additional Comments:
President Tolomei mentioned information will be coming forward regarding the process
that will take place in finding a replacement Village Administrator since Village
Administrator Dixon announced his retirement at the end of the year.
