Tensions are rising in Dolton as Mayor Tiffany Henyard prepares to move forward with a meeting that village trustees postponed, sparking yet another clash between the mayor and the board.
The controversy stems from the trustees' decision to reschedule Tuesday night’s regular board meeting to Thursday, September 12. The trustees' publicist said the change was necessary to address several urgent matters, including finalizing the village budget, establishing a new bank account, and hiring a new auditor.However, Henyard’s attorney, Beau Brindley, argues that the trustees failed to provide proper notice for the postponement, which he claims violates Illinois law.
"The mayor was given no notice by the board that they were going to cancel or postpone or do anything with this meeting," Brindley said, adding that state law requires 10 days' notice to reschedule or cancel a meeting. He believes the board's actions are interfering with Henyard’s ability to perform her duties as mayor.Despite the expected absence of at least three trustees, Henyard intends to convene the meeting on Tuesday night and make a series of new village appointments.
