About this Article

Former Island Lake Mayor Charles Amrich and other residents packed the village hall boardroom Thursday to question plans for a new hall and police station. They criticized the speed at which the project has progressed and urged Mayor Debbie Herrmann and the board to let voters decide if a new municipal facility should be built. "I don't understand what the big hurry is to push this through," Amrich said during the public comment portion of the board meeting.
