McHenry County Board

McHenry County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller is seeking applications to fill a recently created vacancy on the county board in District 2. The term of office to be filled will run through Dec. 5, 2016.

State statute dictates that the vacancy on the county board must be filled with a Republican currently residing in County Board District 2 because the vacancy was created by the resignation of a Republican from District 2.

Those interested in the position must complete an "Application for Board and Commission" available on the county website at www.co.mchenry.il.us/home/showdocument?id=12290.

Applications must be received in the county board office by the close of business Friday, Oct. 9.

Interviews of prospective candidates will take place in October with the county board chairman and members of the Republican Party. A formal appointment to the county board is anticipated in November 2015.

For information or questions, contact Peter Austin, county administrator, at (815) 334-4226.
