History

On August 1, 2014, a lawsuit was filed against the Village of Orland Park and the Orland Park Police Department concerning claims about Freedom of Information Act procedures.  This case is presently pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Chancery Division.  In October 2015, a settlement was reached with the plaintiff only to avoid further costs of litigation.

 

The attached Settlement Agreement is now being presented for Board approval in order for the Village to settle the disputed claims and reach dismissal of above captioned lawsuit.

Financial Impact

Funds are available in the Insurance Fund for the payment of the settlement agreement.
