Draft Municipal Directory

 

CMAP's updated draft Municipal Directory is available for download. Click here for the pdf. Please take the time to review your municipality's information and include corrections if needed. The final version will be posted later this summer. Please contact Sherry Kane (skane@cmap.illinois.gov or 312-386-8600).

Regional Arbitration Database Survey


The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus in partnership with the McHenry County Council of Governments and other COGs are exploring the feasibility of creating a regional arbitration database for local governments. The database would be available to assist municipalities when preparing for and seeking arbitration services.    

 

A survey to gauge interest is posted at www.lakecountyleague.org. The survey will help us identify the type of information that municipalities would be interested in accessing if a database of arbitration information were developed. 

 

Responses are due to Anna Bicanic-Moeller, Executive Director, McHenry COG, by July 15. Please e-mail to her at amoeller@mchenrycountycog.org or fax at (815) 459-9057.
