New Lenox Township Meeting | Nov. 13, 2025
The New Lenox Township Board of Trustees met on Thursday, November 13, 2025, to handle fiscal year levies, abate bond taxes, and hear reports on environmental and transportation initiatives. Supervisor Cass Wennlund was absent from the meeting.
In addition to setting the 2025 tax levies for the Township and Road District, the board discussed environmental programs. Trustee Martin Boban reported on the New Lenox Community Solar Coalition. He noted that while other solar companies are approaching the area with their own agendas, the Coalition is offering free training for potential solar energy careers. The township is looking to hire local contractors for installation work and has forwarded training information to the local high school district.
Electronics Recycling: Trustee Boban reported that the used electronics collection program continues to see high traffic. The collections, held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month, have recently processed 61 and 86 cars, respectively, averaging between 50 and 60 cars per event.
Cemetery Finance and Land: Trustee Annette Vogt reported that October was a profitable month for the township cemeteries, with revenue of $15,445.38 against expenses of $3,841.87. Vogt also noted that the township is following up on a property annexation involving the Methodist Church and is exploring options for land acquisition. She is also consulting with experts on the costs to restore grave markers.
Transportation Update: Trustee Patty Deiters reported that the township provided 630 transportation rides in October, generating $2,282 in income. Following her attendance at a recent conference, Deiters expressed interest in investigating a Point of Sale (POS) credit card program offered by the State of Illinois Treasurer’s Department, which could be implemented at no cost to the township.
Siren Testing: Trustee Boban confirmed that all 12 emergency sirens were tested. While one minor issue was identified, the siren was re-tested and passed satisfactorily.
