Orland Park Public Library Settlement Agreement

Here's the Settlement Agreement and Release (link) between Megan Fox (link), Kevin DuJan, and the Orland Park Public Library (link), signed by the parties with library director Mary Weimar signing for the library.  It is dated 19 March 2015.  The settled cases involved "the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, et seq. ('FOIA') and the Illinois Open Meetings Act, 5 ILCS 120, et seq. ('OMA')."

Here's a video of the attorney for the library describing the above Settlement at the library's 16 March board meeting:

• "Orland Park Library Pays $55,000 to Settle FOIA/Open Meetings Lawsuits," by John Kraft, Illinois Leaks (Edgar County Watchdogs), 21 March 2015.

I am directly involved in these cases, the settlement, and media reports, but not by name.  I'll be writing more about this matter in the future.

On this page I'm excluding my commentary so people can see the OPPL Settlement (link) without anyone's added viewpoint.  So feel free to spread around either URL below these headline graphics from the Chicago Tribune and the Orland Park Patch.
