Litiqation
Village Manager Janonis provided an update regarding the RJN Appeal. He stated that the
Judgment has been upheld but disagreed with the damages and how the formula was determined
for the damage. He stated the Village must refile in a short period of time and has two options
available. The Village can go back to Trial Court and prove up the amounts may have the option of
getting $100,000-$150,000 less plus the expense of Trial. Once remanded back to Court, the
Appeal Bond is released. The second option is to file with the Supreme Court for $3,000-$4,000, the
Bond remains in place. The Court may not consider the Case but it is a newer area of law. He
suggested making at least one application to the Illinois Supreme Court for consideration.
Village Board direction was to file with the Supreme Court.
