Before beginning the Roscoe Village Board meeting on August 20, 2024, village trustees recognized Sgt. Aaron Weber and his wife Kelly for their leadership in once again making this year’s National Night Out a big success. Village President Carol Gustafson said much of the credit is due to the hard work and dedication of Kelly and Sgt. Weber over several years. “The Webers have single-handedly made National Night Out a fantastic event.”
Hundreds of families turned out for the yearly event held on Main Street in downtown Roscoe, August 6, 2024.
Trustees approved a resolution regarding the authorized ranks of the Village of Roscoe Police Code of Ordinances. Trustees voted to eliminate the rank of Lieutenant. The designation rank has not been used for several years. Going forward, the rankings are Patrolman, Sergeant, Deputy Chief and Chief.
Miller Engineering Company will be installing whole building dehumidifiers at Roscoe Village Hall and the Roscoe Police Department. Trustees unanimously voted to approve the resolution, not to exceed $23,460. President Gustafson said the humidity this summer sometimes exceeds 80% in the buildings.
The Committee of the Whole meeting followed the general meeting.
