West Dundee's patience with a church that has repeatedly rebuffed requests to repair its decaying parsonage has finally run out. The village has filed an emergency motion against First United Methodist Church, one the village hopes will force the church to repair or replace the historic parsonage's roof, masonry, wood siding and parts of the roof that are water damaged.
