Merit Commission non-compliance with OMA

An open letter to the Chairperson and Commissioners of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department Merit Commission:

It appears to me that the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department Merit Commission is out of compliance with the Illinois Open Meetings Act (OMA) provision that requires the posting online of Minutes of Regular and Special Meetings. Following are the meeting dates since February 2007 for which there appear to be compliance problems.

June 13, 2007 Under the Minutes link, the Agenda is posted again. No Minutes are posted for the June 13th meeting.

July 13, 2007 No Agenda and No Minutes are posted, but Minutes are approved in the August 8, 2007 Minutes.

July 20, 2007 No Agenda and No Minutes are posted, but Minutes are approved in the August 8, 2007 Minutes.

November 14, 2007 No Minutes are posted.

November 20, 2007 No Minutes are posted.

December 21, 2007 No Minutes are posted.

October 8, 2008 No Minutes are posted.

October 21, 2008 No Minutes are posted.

Will you please post Minutes online for these meetings? Thank you.
