Oh Lawrence, lets review the village ordinance on the duties of the Village President:
(A) The President shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Trustees but shall not vote except in case of a tie vote of the members of the Board of Trustees, and except concerning matters which, by statute, require the vote of the corporate authorities.
(B) He shall appoint all officers with the advice and consent of the Board of Trustees with the exception of those taking office by election. He shall have power to remove any officer appointed by him as provided by law.
(C) He may exercise within the Village limits, the powers conferred upon sheriffs to suppress disorder and keep the peace; he may release persons imprisoned for violation of any Village ordinance, reporting such release and the cause therefor at the next Board meeting.
(D) He may annually and from time to time, give the Board information relative to the Village affairs and recommend measures he deems expedient for their consideration.
(E) He shall have the power to suppress riot and other disorderly conduct and to enforce Village ordinances by calling on all inhabitants of the Village eighteen (18) years of age or more for assistance.
(F) He shall have power at all times to examine the books, records and papers of any agent, officer or employee of the Village.
You are basically a powerless meeting coordinator who has access to records in order to give the Board information relative to the village affairs and make recommendations to the board. Unless you and Mark Masciola changed the ordinance and didn’t tell anyone much like the overtime ordinance for your deputy chief. If your Superintendent refused to write up his subordinate, then you should be replacing your superintendent for not granting his master’s wishes.
This is not Metra where you can do what you want because you said so.
Incompetence at it’s best.

Everyone has hit that fence. Powell is just on a power trip because no one likes him. Call the police on his own neighbors when they block the sidewalk. Powell has called on the Rodriguez family for their overnight parking violations but smiles and waves at them like they BFFs. Fuck Powell.
Rosemount and Bedford Park's trailer park, hillbilly step cousin: Funnyview.
Powell’s dumb ass calls the cops during little league season because people park on the street next to the park. Common sense isn’t so common in the village hall building
Common sense isn’t to common in the PD either lol
Is disorderly conduct when Nancy Miller's son's job is in jeopardy if she doesn't "get with the program"? Probably more like extortion or conspiracy
