At laat Wednesday’s meeting of the Algonquin Township Board, there was a $170,684.77 bill from Road District attorney Robert Hanlon.

After again refusing to pay the $107,000 bill for road salt, Trustee Rachael Lawrence observed that the bill for attorney Robert Hanlon, who represents Highway Commissioner Andrew Gasser, was “very large.”

She added that interest had been added.

“If we table this, it may result in more interest fees,” she said.

Attorney Jim Kelly argreed.

“If he has an agreement to require interest then [then interest would be OK], he said.

“I remember interest,” Trustee David Chapman said of the contract that the Board had approved.

“How can there be interest on bills that were never submitted?” Lawrence asked.

“I’m trying to be fair,” she added.

“Should we pay it?”

Chapman moved to “pull it,” then seemed to back off suggesting it be paid without the interest.

“We were expecting a big bill,” Lawrence said.

“One is dated Decmber 10, 2019; Is thate a future bill?”

Chapman then moved to “pullthelegal bills for separate consideration [holding them] over for a special meeting as soon as possible.”

The motion passed 3-0.
