Residents of Grafton Township are eligible for appointment to the $10,000 a year part-time job as township clerk. With the appiontment comes full family health insurance and an internet connection at home, if benefits accorded to the current clerk are extended to her replacement.

The agenda to tonight’s Grafton Township Board meeting has been posted.

It will be held at the Huntley Park District Building starting at 7:30 PM.

The agenda, an amalgam of what each of the board members and the supervisor want considered have a couple of interesting items.

First, it appears the township board is prepared to appoint a successor to recently-resigned Township Clerk Dina Frigo.

The board is apparently prepared to accept Frigo’s resignation because agenda items are in place to buy a “plaque or appropriate gift,” pass a proclamation honoring her and discuss and take action on replacing her.

To the best of my knowledge, there has been no attempt to solicit applications from the general public for the pending vacancy.

The job pays $10,000 and full family health benefits, so there probably would be no dearth of people willing to apply, considering the state of the economy.

Next on the agenda is “discussion and potential action on hiring Township Administrator or similar employee.”

That should be interesting.

I note that there is no mention of Freedom of Information requests and their status.
