Thompson resigns from Livingston County Board
PONTIAC — A new job in Northern Illinois has prompted a Livingston County Board member to resign. The Livingston County Board on Thursday accepted the resignation of District 2 board member Andrew Thompson. Thompson has accepted a job as a regional manager for a property management company in Winnebago County. “We are sad to see Drew go,” Livingston County Board Chairman Bill Flott said. “We are happy that he did receive a job promotion. He provided valuable insight into this board and I think he commanded the respect of most of our board members.” Thompson served on the board for 3½ years and chaired the veterans assistance committee. “I’ve enjoyed my time on the board and I’ve enjoyed serving the citizens of Livingston County,” Thompson said. Flott said he is looking for a replacement for the seat which represents much of northern Livingston County. It includes Amity, Broughton, Dwight, Esmen, Long Point, Nevada, Newtown, Odell, Owego, Reading, Round Grove, Sunbury and Union townships. Flott must name someone with the board’s approval to fill the seat within 60 days. The appointee will serve until Nov. 30, 2008, and must be a registered Republican living in District 2. The seat will be up for election in November 2008. People interested in the seat must send a letter of intent with contact information and a brief biography by Oct. 27. Letters can be sent to Bill Flott at the County Board office or Kristy Masching at the county clerk’s office. Both are at 112 W. Madison St., Pontiac IL 61764. Other business The board also approved transferring $550,000 from the Livingston Manor construction fund, which has more than $23 million, to Livingston Manor to help pay salaries, operational expenses and maintenance for 2007-08. Officials said the move helps the county avoid levying a nursing home tax. “By eliminating the Livingston Manor operations levy, there will be a (property tax levy) decrease of 1.71 percent over last year,” finance committee Chairwoman DeloresWoodburn said. The money will be replaced by interest earned on the $23 million, she said. In another matter, the board voted to allow the law firm Schain, Burney, Ross and Citron and the consulting firm Conestoga-Rovers and Associates to review the recent wind-farm application from Horizon Wind Energy.
