North Judson Town Council members voted unanimously to retain Wendy Hoppe as the town council president when they met Tuesday night.
As a part of their new bylaws, members also needed to establish a vice president. Councilman John Rowe was nominated and council members collectively agreed to appoint him to the position. Members also voted to retain Justin Schramm as their town attorney.
Additionally, members discussed remaining appointments. Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe will serve as the town representative for Kankakee-Iroquois Regional Planning Commission and Wendy Hoppe volunteered to serve on the Rail Road Committee.
President Hoppe mentioned that there are still a number of seats that need to be filled for the Unsafe Hearing Authority, the Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals. Members agreed to advertise for the positions in order to see if any community members are interested in serving.
While discussing the open seats, members also established that they would like to see a representative from every department present at a meeting at least once a month so members can stay up-to-date about what is happening around town.
If you feel your input could benefit any of these North Judson boards, contact the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office at 310 Lane Street by calling 574-896-3340.

North Judson Council Considers Changes to Bylaws, Schedules Budget Meeting
Posted on August 26, 2017

The North Judson Town Council is looking to make some changes to the way it operates. Most significantly, members are considering the addition of a council vice-president, according to Clerk-Treasurer Alicia Collins. She says that currently, if the council president is absent, one member is chosen to take charge just for that one meeting.
The changes to the official bylaws were proposed by council member Jane Ellen Felchuk. Collins says council members plan to act on the proposed changes at their next regular meeting.
Meanwhile, the North Judson Town Council is getting to work on the town’s 2018 budget. Members will meet in special session on Tuesday, September 5 to discuss the budget with representatives from accounting firm Umbaugh and Associates. That will be followed by the council’s regular meeting at 6:30 p.m.
Collins says that no comments or questions were offered during a public hearing Monday on the town’s proposed water and sewer upgrades. The hearing was a required step before the town can seek financial help from the state and federal government.
