Two Crystal Lake and one Huntley politician will be giving up their seats on the city council, park and school boards in the near future.

Carolyn Schofield, who is in her second term on the Crystal Lake City Council, and Mike Walkup, who is also in his second term, will tender their resignations prior to being sworn in for the McHenry County Board during the first week in December.

In Huntley, long-time School District 158 Board member Mike Skala will be vacating his seat as well.

The three governmental bodies have the choice of filling the vacancies just prior to elections which will be held next April or not doing so.

Those deciding to appoint someone will be giving such people a leg up on non-incumbents running next spring.
