HB 1500 Update
All parties to the discussions HB 1500 were told that the buildout provision would be determined by the Speaker, Representative Brosnahan and the Attorney General. We have been informed that they are currently discussing buildout with AT&T, but have yet to come to an agreement. The final bill will not be called until an agreement is reached.
Here's a brief summary of how it protects your interests:
Although the bill is posted for hearing tomorrow morning in the House Telecommunications Committee, we have been told that it will not be called for a vote until the buildout provision is finalized. |

Associate Members Bylaws amendment
The Board of Directors has recommended adding an Associate Member category to the Lake County Municipal League. Associate memberships would be open to vendors, suppliers, attorneys, architects and other organizations doing business with municipalities.
The Associate Member Bylaws amendment was presented at the April 19, 2007 membership meeting and will be voted on at the June 21 meeting.
The amendment to the Bylaws would appear in Article III Membership, Section 3.5 and would read as follow:
An associate membership category permits vendors or suppliers doing business with Lake County municipalities to join the Lake County Municipal League. Dues will be set by the Board. Associate Members will not have the ability to serve on the Board of Directors nor have a vote, but may serve on committees and participate in LCML activities.
A two-thirds majority is necessary to pass this amendment. Please try to attend the June 21, LCML Membership Meeting.
