McHenry County Leaders Request Restore Illinois Regional Changes to Gov. Pritzker

Mayor Koziol joined 24 other McHenry County Mayors and County Board Chairman Franks in requesting the following from Governor Pritzker: (1)- Acknowledge that McHenry County does not belong grouped into the Northeast Health Region with the City of Chicago. (2) Acknowledge and approve the County to move from Phase 2 to Phase 3 of the Restore Illinois Plan effective immediately, upon independent confirmation that we have met all five criteria in the Restore Illinois Plan. (3) Provide a commitment to a timely review and approval of our transition to move to Phase 4.

Please see the attached Letter for additional details. The City of Marengo would like to acknowledge the support of the other Mayors and Chairman Franks in making this request to Governor Pritzker.

Fireworks Update

Due to the Covid pandemic, the City of Marengo’s fireworks have been postponed. We are holding onto hope that we can still have them sometime this year. The Mayor has been in contact with the Settlers’ Days Committee and are discussing the possibility of the fireworks coinciding with Settlers’ Days. Both Settlers’ Days and fireworks depend greatly on donations from our business community but we feel our businesses have been hit hard enough this year preventing us from asking for donations. Stay tuned as this develops.
