State law (55 ILCS 5-5/5-1062.2) allows certain counties, including Kendall County, to establish Stormwater Planning Committees. Per State law, a Stormwater Planning Committee’s primary purpose is to develop a Stormwater Management Plan.

Kendall County has a Stormwater Planning Committee. However, several of the seats are currently vacant. Per State law, the Committee must consist of an equal number of County Board members and municipal members. Three (3) of the County Board members come from District 1 and two (2) members come from District 2. County Board members are appointed by the County Board Chairman.

The municipal members are chosen by majority vote of the mayors of those municipalities based on the County Board district the municipality is located. The current municipal members are Bob Hausler, Clifton Fox, Gary Golinski, Jennifer Hughes, and Brian Murphy.

The Stormwater Planning Committee last met on April 9, 2013.

To Staff’s knowledge, no plans presently exist to update or amend the Kendall County Stormwater Management Plan.

The consensus of the Committee was to ask the State’s Attorney’s Office if the Stormwater Planning Committee was properly constituted by County Board district.
