Maywood pays over $100K for firing An arbitrator ruled that the village’s firing of a public works employee was unjustly, orders back-pay

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During a Sept. 19 regular meeting, the Maywood Board of Trustees approved a payment of $106,128.13 in backpay to a village employee who alleged that he was wrongfully terminated in 2014. He has since been reinstated.

The board voted 5 to 1 in favor of the settlement, with Maywood Mayor Edwenna Perkins the lone dissenting vote. Maywood Trustee Melvin Lightford was absent.

“The reason my vote is what it is, is because this was not done correctly,” Perkins said, without going into details, right before the roll was called. “It’s not fair to the citizens of Maywood that any of this even transpired.”

On February, 29, 2016, an independent arbitrator ruled in favor of Robert Jay, a See MAYWOOD FIRING on page 4

VILLAGE people Antonio Sanchez, 38, has roots in Maywood that run deep Antonio Sanchez, a Maywood native and recently elected trustee for the village, spoke to the Maywood Proviso Rotary Club on Sept. 21 at Meal of the Day Café, 1701 S. 1st Ave. (Suite 410), for the club’s celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Sanchez spoke about his family’s deep history in the village.

Nearly two decades ago, Sanchez’s family started Mariella’s Banquets Inc., 124 S. 5th Ave. in Maywood, which Sanchez now operates.

What a month to be Hispanic. We’ve had earthquakes and hurricanes pummeling Latin America, but we are a resilient culture.

I am the first son of Mexican immigrants. I have two younger siblings. I’m the oldest out of all of my cousins. My father is the oldest out of all of his brothers and sisters. My mother is the oldest out of her brothers and sisters.

They immigrated to this country in the late 1970s. I am born and raised here, but I did live the immigrant life, where you wake up in the morning, go to work, come back and you hide behind closed doors in fear of what is out there. Through all those trials and tribulations, Maywood was the community that opened its arms to my family. My roots are dug in here like the solid Oak trees that line these streets.

We lived here in Maywood on 5th and Lake Street above Stairway of the Stars for some time before it burned down. I went to Jane Addams. From there, I went to Fenwick High School, graduated, and then went to [the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign].

I was the first to graduate from college in my family.

I set a precedence for my siblings and the rest of my cousins. I graduated with an economics degree with a finance background, so business was my niche.

My grandfather worked for Union Pacific — a great job to have. In the 70s and 80s, there was this program that allowed you to become a citizen. My grandfather went through that program and became an American citizen.

He had the opportunity to purchase a building on 5th Ave., a storefront. At the time it was an old speakeasy billiards hall and two other storefronts. We converted this building into a banquet hall and have had it now close to 20 years.

Growing up in this community, we saw the change and still see the change. We breathe, live, sweat, and bleed our business and our community. If you don’t have a business that opens its doors to its community, then what’s the point?

809 BUILDING Coming 2018? from page 1 next year. So far, officials project that the building renovations will be complete by July 2018.

The rehabilitation of the parking lot and grounds surrounding the 809 Madison building started earlier this year and is nearly complete. A ribbon-cutting marking the rehabbed grounds will take place on Oct. 21.

“With all of the funding we already have got, we know that [with the additional $285,000], we’re more than 100 percent funded for projected dollars,” said Terrance Jones, a park district commissioner.

The $285,000, which will come from the Madison Street/Fifth Ave. TIF, will go to pay for the purchase of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems in the 809 Madison building, and for parking lot improvements.

The mechanical and electrical systems are projected to cost $80,000 each, while the plumbing system and parking lot improvements are estimated at $80,000 and $35,000 each, respectively.

Maywood Village Manager Willie Norfleet, Jr. said that the village will pay the invoices related to construction directly, instead of forwarding the money to the park district.

According to Maywood’s attorney, Michael Jurusik, the $285,000 allocation is an

approved redevelopment activity, according to the 1997 plan that governs the Madison Street/Fifth Ave. TIF. “The Plan states that ‘the Village may encourage the rehabilitation of buildings that are basically sound or historically significant,” according to a Sept. 13 memo drafted by Jurusik.

According to park district officials, the renovation of the 809 Madison building will cost approximately $1.8 million. The majority of that money will come from a reimbursable $1.6 million state grant, which requires the village to provide 20 percent of matching funds, according to the park district’s new executive director, Lonette Hall. The TIF funds will cover a substantial portion of the park district’s matching share.

In a cover letter accompanying the district’s TIF application, Hall wrote that the 809 Madison building “is located in the center of town and would be an excellent resource for all Maywoodians.”

“Having this building renovated would also make the corners of 9th Avenue and Madison the ‘Park District Corridor’ for everyone in the community,” Hall wrote, adding that the building would be open from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m.

“We are currently seeking letters of intent for the upcoming 2018 opening from Loyola Medical Center, WSAR-8 and Benedictine University, just to name a few,” Hall explained.

The new recreation center at the 809 Madison building will feature multipurpose

The exterior redesign project that’s currently nearing completion cost approximately $500,000, with half of the money coming a state grant that required matching funds.

The district secured a loan from Hinsdale Bank in order to match the grant amount, said the park district’s former executive director, and current grant project coordinator, Toni Dorris, in an interview in June. As a condition of securing the loan, the district embarked on a period of austerity, which included enacting significant budget cuts.

The exterior redesign includes the

resurfacing of the parking lot, the renovation of the outdoor garden, the installation of a flower bed island in the lot, brand new fencing, a new outdoor basketball court that could be converted into additional parking during the winter months, and a t-ball and soccer field designed for smaller children, among other improvements.

“We were diligent in dotting our i’s and crossing our t’s when it came to both projects,” said Jones during an interview on Sept. 21. “We pushed our staff a lot and they stepped up to the challenge. Even though there were some dark days, we were still positive. As doubts creeped in, we stayed the course because we knew what we were doing was right.”

MAYWOOD FIRING Unequal treatment? from page 1 veteran Maywood public works employee who was fired in April 2014 for what the village claimed was his deliberate involvement in a scandal involving misallocated water payments.

In 2013, according to documents related to the arbitration hearing, William Barlow, who was village manager at the time, tapped the auditing firm Gould & Pakter to do a forensic audit of payments made to the village’s water department. The move happened not long after the village “received a request from a law firm for a refund for a duplicate payment for a water bill.”

The village’s finance director, Lanya Satchell, “traced the payment and found that it had been broken up into partial payments and credited to several apparently unintended accounts.”

According to the 2013 report prepared from the completed forensic audit, Gould & Pakter “analyzed 31 sets of payments of water customers of the Village that were received by the Water Department after January 1, 2012 …

Using the check number, we identified the customer accounts that were actually (some wrongly) credited for each payment received.

“We found that portions of the 31 customer payments were misallocated, i.e., portions of the payments were credited to different (unintended) customer accounts.

Accordingly, for each of the 31 customer payments, the designated (intended) account was not credited in full — instead other customer accounts were given improper credit for the payments received.”

Evidence indicated that Lorraine Waller, a water department clerk, had misapplied 31 customer payments totaling $60,598.79 — nearly $27,000 of that representing payments credited to the accounts of “village employees and/or affiliates.”

According to arbitration documents, Waller had evidently “produced handwritten bill payment stubs misallocating portions of certain large checks to the wrong accounts.”

Those stubs were then given to a cashier, Norma Hernandez, for processing.

“Satchell determined that the payments sent in were intentionally credited to different accounts which were not intended by the payer to be credited.”

In

March

2014,

then-Acting

Village

Manager David Myers sent out letters to Waller, Hernandez and Maria Pagan, the water department supervisor at the time, notifying them that the village was looking into the matter.

Hernandez and Pagan were eventually terminated after being placed on administrative leave. Waller, who refused to cooperate with the inquiry, “invoked the Fifth Amendment, and resigned. Myers testified [in an arbitration hearing] that he believed that [Waller] moved to Georgia, and no attempt was made to subpoena her to testify at the arbitration hearing.”

Jay and another public works employee, Steven Slaughter, were also terminated after it became apparent to village officials that Waller was misapplying credits to overdue water accounts in Jay’s and Slaughter’s names, or the names of their relatives, and that both knew about the scheme. Both ended up filing grievances through their union, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 705.

According to village officials, at least $1,600 worth of credits had been misapplied to a water account in Slaughter’s name. Village officials said that over $1,200 in credits had been misapplied to a water account at Jay’s home and $2,600 in credits had been misapplied to a water account at the home of Jay’s late mother.

The village found that Waller had also misapplied credits to the water account of the mother of Johnette Greenhow, Perkins’ executive assistant.

When questioned about the credits, Greenhow “denied any knowledge of them,” claiming that “she was not living at her mother’s residence during the time period when the credits were received.” According to Myers, however, the village later found out that Greenhow’s claim wasn’t true.

According to the arbitrator’s ruling, the village “failed to conduct further investigation and failed to go back to Greenhow and ask her why she had not told the truth about the fact that she was living in her mother’s home, at the time when the water account there was credited with misallocated funds.”

The arbitrator upheld Jay’s grievance and struck down Slaughter’s, ruling that the village failed to provide incontrovertible evidence that Jay knew that the payments were going to his residence and that he was treated differently than Greenhow, whose case was similar to his.

The arbitrator noted that Jay’s testimony to village officials that “he was not aware of the credits to his account” was credible

based on the fact that, on multiple occasions during the period when the scheme was happening, he made cash payments to his water account on days when Waller’s misapplied credits appeared on his account.

“For example, the record shows that on March 5, 2012, [Jay] made a cash payment of $304.93 to his account, on the same day that a check, in the same amount, was improperly credited to his account,” according to arbitration documents.

“Since $304.93 was the full amount due on his account at that time, it is highly unlikely that he knew about the check amount improperly credit to his [home] account for that same amount.”

In addition, when he was informed by letter about what the misapplied credits, Jay visited Myers to “determine what was going on. It is unlikely that he would have done so if he knew or even suspected that improper credits had been applied to his water account.” The arbitrator noted that Jay eventually agreed to pay back the amount credited to both accounts in full.

The arbitrator also stated that “there is even less evidence that he knew about the credits going to the account of his deceased mother,” since the village mistakenly assumed that “Barbara Jay” was Jay’s wife, instead of his late mother.

“When [Jay] told them that Barbara Jay was in fact his deceased mother; that other relatives lived in her house; and that he was not responsible for paying the bills there, the Village continued to hold him accountable for the credits that were directed to that account.”

Jay told village officials that his sister, “who did live at their deceased mother’s home, knew Waller socially; therefore, that relationship may have been the reason Waller provided credits to that account.”

When questioned about the credits, Slaughter admitted that he knew about them, but that he thought that Waller was applying the credits “out of the goodness of her heart,” and that the credits may have been part of a program for residents with delinquent water payments.

Slaughter added that, because of Waller’s position in the water department, he simply assumed she had the authority “to forgive a debt of more than $1,000 the the owed to the Village.”

“It is difficult to believe that [Slaughter] truly concluded that just because Waller had knowledge about and processed residents’ water accounts, she also would have this far greater authority, under some program that was not named, had no written paper or brochure describing it, and no forms to fill out to apply for it,” the arbitrator explained.

The arbitrator added that, since part of Slaughter’s job was “to process shut-offs of water service for residents who were far in arrears on their water accounts. He likely had some idea that a large number of water accounts were in arrears at the Village.

“If there were a legitimate program that was available to significantly reduce a resident’s water service debt to the Village, it is difficult to believe that [Slaughter] would not have made residents aware of the

program. This is especially true since he had shown a sensitivity, Ms. Satchell reported, to the consequences of residents’ inability to pay their water account debts.”

The arbitrator was particularly blunt about what she described as the disparate and unequal treatment handling by the village of Jay’s and Greenhow’s cases, which the union representing Jay and Slaughter attributed to Greenhow’s close relationship with the mayor — a claim that the mayor has stridently denied in the past.

According to the arbitrator, however, why Greenhow wasn’t terminated is less important than the fact that Jay was terminated when his case was similar, or even stronger, than Greenhow’s. “[T]he evidence establishes that another Employee was in a situation similar — or worse — than that of [Jay], with regard to this situation, yet the Village treated her much more favorably than him, as she was not terminated or even disciplined,” the arbitrator noted, adding, “the motive for treating the two Employees differently does not matter, if their conduct is the same or similar; disparate treatment in that situation violates the tenets of just cause.”

On Sept. 29, 2016, the union representing Jay submitted backpay calculations to village officials totaling $123,201.87. After some negotiations, that amount was eventually decreased on May 15, 2017 to $101,385.93 in backpay and $4,742.20 in medical bills.

NEWS briefs kids to ingest what the boy described as cocaine.

“A grandmother of one of the students said the bully sprinkled cocaine into her grandchild’s lunch without him knowing.

When he came back from eating his lunch, he complained about stomach pain.

Ambulances were called.”

Maywood students hospitalized after ingesting ‘unknown substance’ Three students who attend Garfield Elementary School, 1514 S. 9th in Maywood, were sent to the hospital on Sept. 20 after ingesting what school officials are calling an “unknown substance.”

According to a statement sent to parents and guardians by Garfield’s principal, Marsha Alexander, the students got the substance from another student.

“As soon as we learned about the incident we contacted medical professionals and the students were taken to the hospital and checked out as a precaution,” Alexander said in the statement.

She added that, “as of this communication these students appear to be fine,” and that, since school officials contacted local law enforcement, the incident has been under investigation.

According to a Sept. 20 WGN 9 report, a relative of one of the hospitalized students said that the “children unwittingly consumed what they believed to have been cocaine.”

Relatives told the news outlet that another student at Garfield “allegedly bullied others close to the lunch hour trying to force the

Law enforcement conducts at least two raids in three days in Maywood A Maywood man was arrested during a raid carried out by a Maywood Police drug tactical unit and members of Cook County’s High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force early on Sept. 19.

Law enforcement authorities arrested Jamal Howlett, 32, at his home on the 1600 block of South 8th Ave. in Maywood on early Tuesday morning, said Maywood Lt. Dennis Diaz.

At the time of his arrest, Diaz said that Howlett was in possession of a 40-caliber semi-automatic weapon and 7 ounces of cannabis.

Howlett, who was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and passion with intent to deliver, is due in court for a bond hearing on Sept. 20.

The joint operation is the second raid that the local law enforcement officials have conducted in less than a week.

On Sept. 16, two men were arrested in a raid that took place on the 600 block of South 4th Ave. Cordell Brown, 29, of Maywood, and Calvin Evans, were both arrested during a raid at Brown’s home.

The raid occurred after police had

conducted an investigation into Brown’s activities, Diaz said.

Diaz added that Brown was on parole for robbery and was found in possession of a loaded 45 semi-automatic handgun.

Calvin Evans, who had a warrant out of Grundy County for failure to make a court appearance, was also arrested. Diaz said that Evans’ address, age or charges weren’t immediately available.

Diaz said that the raids are the result of ongoing investigations by Maywood police designed, in part, to stem a recent uptick in gun violence that’s occurred in the village.

Maywood mayor says ComEd imposters tried scamming her “It happened to me, don’t let it happen to you,” said Maywood Mayor Edwenna Perkins during a Sept. 5 regular board meeting.

Perkins said that she’d recently received a call “from an organization saying they could cut my ComEd bill by 50 percent.”

“I said, ‘Oh yes,”” Perkins recalled, before noting that she caught on to the alleged imposter not long into the conversation.

“But the young man, who had a very big accent, kept talking and then he went on to say, ‘I’m giving you this number in case there’s a problem and you can call them,’” Perkins said. “I said, ‘Are you with ComEd?’ He said, ‘Oh yeah!’ But when he said that, I hung up.”

Cory Foster, ComEd’s external affairs manager, said during the meeting that the electric utility doesn’t solicit by phone or by knocking on doors.

“Whenever in doubt, our advice is to call our toll-free number,” said Foster,

who Perkins had called after the incident happened.

ComEd recommends that customers who have detected imposters and scams to contact the company immediately.

Foster said that ComEd does offer a range of energy efficiency services and rebates, such as discounts on LED lighting and a recycling program for refrigerators.

Anyone who has experienced scams or imposters, or who wants more information into ComEd’s services should call 1-800-EDISON-1.

VILLAGE perspectives

Evidence of our progress

By Isiah Brandon

As we prepare to step into the fall season let’s reflect on some of the progress that has happened throughout the village. It is important that we come together as a village to celebrate every sign of success that is taking place within our community.

Community Outreach I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with residents across the village at the many block club parties that have taken place among residents. I thank you for sharing your concerns and ideas on how we can work together to create a strong and resilient community.

In the summer, I sponsored a BBQ cookout for our seniors at the Maywood Garden House apartments in order to gain their input and to create more activities for our seniors.

In addition, I successfully spearheaded the third annual Safe Summer initiative.

A special thanks is in order to my board colleagues for funding this much-needed initiative. We were able to provide young people with programs and activities to keep them safe and off the streets this summer.

I also attended a successful event organized by District 89 as they welcomed students back to school and even co-

organized the 12th Annual Be Smart, Stay In School giveaway with the office of Mayor Edwenna Perkins, Youth On The Move and the Maywood Old Timers Committee. That event was a great success.

Speaking to successes, kudos to the Maywood Bataan Day Organization for hosting a remarkably successful Bataan Day memorial service on Sept. 10.

I’m looking forward to creating even more great memories for our residents by conducting my regular walk-throughs across the village, hosting my ongoing Community Conversation series of town hall-style dialogues, and hosting the second annual Maywood Seniors Movie Day on Oct. 13.

But I did more than host events. In particular, I worked with ComEd to identify Proviso students, particularly African American males, who would benefit from $250 scholarships enabling them to enhance their understanding of solar energy systems.

advocate for a stronger police presence on our streets and will keep searching for additional resources to ensure that our officers have the tools needed to provide the highest level of safety possible.

This summer, I teamed up with the Maywood Youth Delegation, the mayor’s office, the Maywood Police Department and the clerk’s office to target high-crime zones within our village. We were able to have a strong presence in those areas by going out and walking those streets. I personally hit the streets this summer to get a full understanding of this issue. I’m proud of our youth delegates for creating this major initiative.

Public Safety The safety of our residents continues to be a top concern of mine. I will continue to

Fiscal Responsibility The village’s responsible stewardship of your taxpayers was on full display in the prudent decision to authorize $285,000 in TIF funding to help pay for the rehabilitation of the 809 Madison St. building, which is owned by the Maywood Park District. Those dollars will finally allow that facility to become the beacon of light that we all know it can be and that our citizens deserve.

We’ve also invested $2.5 million in infrastructure improvements — another sign that our village board is focused on making responsible decisions on taxpayers’ behalf.

The area of work force development has always been close to my heart. My passion for the subject prompted me to attend the Illinois Municipal League Conference held at the Hilton Chicago Hotel in late September.

This was a great educational opportunity that helps to educate municipal leaders on

current trends in the retail development industry. We also explored ways that we can engage our residents, deal with blighted areas throughout the village and improve how our local government functions.

In the area of legislation, I’m proud to have lent my support for a redevelopment agreement between the village and Interfaith Housing Development Corporation, which is looking to construct a five-story, $20 million mixed-use facility on a corner lot located at Fifth Ave. and School Street that is currently owned by the village.

By allowing this development, the village will alleviate the tax burden that residents feel and enhance our downtown. This measure complements the installation of new streets on 4th, 17th, 18th, 19th and Quincy Avenues — clear signs of taxpayer dollars at work.

Our newly completed train station is going to be a springboard for additional economic development along Fifth Ave., hopefully attracting the essential publicprivate partnerships that are vital to sustainable economic growth. One example of this growth is Seaway Supply Company, at the corner of 9th Ave. and Main St., which recently got support from Cook County that will allow them to redevelop an empty lot next to their business.

The village is also making way for additional development across the village by tearing down a dozen properties that have been deemed uninhabitable. Lastly, special thanks to Family Dollar for addressing citizens’ concerns and making improvements to your facade.

I would like to conclude this progress report by welcoming all of our students back to school and congratulating those who have graduated to pursue higher education. In particular, congratulations to our very own 2017 youth delegate, Rheena Murphy — Walther Christian Academy’s valedictorian — as she heads to college.

17 EuroLeague matchups. He averaged 8.9 points in 23 VTB United games.

“Pullen had overseas stints with Angelico Biella (Italy), Hapoel Jerusalem (Israel), Virtus Bologna (Italy), FC Barcelona (Spain), Baloncesto Sevilla (Spain), New Basket Brindisi (Italy) and KK Cedevita (Croatia) before playing for Khimki.”

Two days before the deal was announced, on Sept. 20, Pullen posted in a tweet, “Preparation plus opportunity = success.”

Report: Seaway Bank’s failure was self-inflicted

Bad management, purchase of failed First Suburban in Maywood, too many church loans among FDIC’s main causes

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

A report released in August by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation concluded that Seaway Bank & Trust failed because of bad governance and risk management practices that flowed from the institution’s board of directors.

Among the bank’s most consequential decisions, the FDIC reports, was Seaway’s acquisition of two failed banks — First Suburban Bank in Maywood and Legacy Bank in Milwaukee — and an overexposure to loans to faith-based institutions, namely churches.

In January, state regulators closed Seaway — once the state’s largest black-owned minority bank and the sixth largest in the country. The closure resulted in a $57.2 million loss for the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), according to the FDIC. When it closed down, all of Seaway’s deposits and a majority of its assets were transferred to State Bank of Texas, which sold the branches and deposits it acquired from Seaway to a North Carolina-based credit union called Self-Help Federal Credit Union.

According to a recent Crain’s Chicago Business report, Seaway’s failure left the Chicago area “with just one black-owned lender, Illinois Service Federal Savings, after the Great Recession finished three others.”

The FDIC report concluded that Seaway’s failure was also rooted in its status as a Minority Depository Institution (MDI) and Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI).

“As such, Seaway’s goal was to promote the economic viability of minority and under-served communities, particularly the African American communities in Chicago and Milwaukee,” the FDIC reports.

“Seaway operated nine offices in Cook County, Illinois, within the Chicago metropolitan area and one office in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Eight of the bank’s 10 offices were located within one mile of a low- or moderate income census tract. These communities were significantly affected by the 2008 financial crisis.”

As an MDI, Seaway prioritized providing banking and consumer services to “unbanked or underbanked” communities over large profit margins. This meant lending primarily to individuals, families, small businesses and churches. Two of Seaway’s branches were located in Proviso Township — one in Maywood and the other in Broadview.

“In an effort to grow the bank,” the FDIC reports, Seaway acquired First Suburban and Legacy, both failed banks, through the FDIC’s Shared-Loss Agreement (SLA) program. The SLA program was designed to “resolve failed institutions in the least costly manner to the DIF.” As part of the SLA, the FDIC agrees to absorb around 80 percent of the losses by the institution that acquires a failed bank (called an assuming institution or AI) in exchange for that institution’s prudent management of the assets acquired through the shared loss program.

In 2010, Seaway acquired First Suburban’s roughly $144 million in total assets, around

$116 million of which were “subject to losssharing.” A year later, Seaway acquired Legacy’s roughly $166 million in total assets, $120 million of which were “subject to losssharing.”

According to the FDIC, Seaway failed to properly manage the risks associated with acquiring those two failed banks, which increased substantially. Between December 2009 and June 2011, Seaway’s loan portfolio increased by nearly 70 percent — from $194 million to $325 million.

A 2011 third-party management study that Seaway commissioned after acquiring Legacy “found that Seaway’s leadership team was competent and stable but it also noted that its growth by acquisition strategy had added organizational stress to an ‘already challenging business arena,’” the FDIC reports.

Seaway’s road to ruin, according to the FDIC report, started to escalate after its longtime chairman and majority owner, Jacoby Dickens, died in 2013, and was replaced by his widow, Veranda Dickens, who had “little banking experience,” according to Crain’s.

“In 2013, it became evident that the Board was not engaged or attentive to bank operations and the management structure was not effective at supervising the bank’s operational functions,” the FDIC reports.

“Seaway’s Board and management were largely ineffective from 2013 through its failure.”

Seaway’s management did not properly account for the assets of the two failed banks it acquired, resulting in financial reporting

that was inaccurate and misleading.

Seaway’s auditors “refused to issue financial statement audits for 2013 and 2014, and a balance sheet audit for 2015 remained open, reportedly due to management’s unresponsiveness to the auditors’ requests.”

In addition, the FDIC report listed Seaway’s inability to “fill management vacancies,” an “overreliance [sic] on consultants to manage the bank and solve its problems,” and “poor risk management practices,” as other primary factors that contributed to its failure.

Another primary factor, as Crain’s pointed out, was Seaway’s “overexposure in loans to churches.”

“Even before Seaway took on the failed banks that swamped it, the bank’s loans to churches represented more than 90 percent of its primary capital,” Crain’s reports.

“Those loans were ‘risky because repayment depended on congregation contributions and the communities that Seaway served were significantly impacted by the 2008 financial crisis.”

Dickens wrote in a statement to Crain’s that the “management team did the best we could to continue operating.”

According to Crain’s the “inspector general’s office does chide the FDIC for failing to recognize the extent of Seaway’s problems sooner.”

Seaway Bank, which has a branch in Maywood, was once the village’s largest account holder. MB Financial now holds that distinction. Read the full Crain’s article on the FDIC report at chicagobusiness.com.

Broadview comes back online with new website The new site comes after the village went more than two years without one

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During a Sept. 18 regular meeting, Broadview officials announced that the village launched a new website after going more than two years without one.

Back in June, Broadview Mayor Katrin Thompson said that her staff was working on creating a website “that’s userfriendly and that residents can have access to.” The site, she added, would also feature live streaming footage of village board meetings and public town halls.

The Monday board meeting was the first to live stream, with village officials outlining the new website’s functionality and how it might evolve in the future.

“This is a very basic form of communication that should’ve never went away,” said Trustee Verina Horn. “When you have a website up and running, you can effectively communicate to your residents.”

Horn said that residents can now pay their bills online and receive information on various village services, among other functions.

“It all works, because I tested it personally,” she said, before introducing Keith Caldwell and Gerald Miller, who the village contracted to build the site.

“We want to let people know — residents as well as visitors [and] people who want to do business with the village — that this is the place where you can find that information,” said Caldwell, who added that he has a background in graphic design and IT networking.

“This is not a static site,” Caldwell said. “What you see now is probably not what you’re going to see next month or the month after that.”

Caldwell said that, along with paying bills and live streaming meetings, residents can also report a concern and sign up for notifications, such as robocalls. There could be more features added in the future, he said.

“We’ve included a lot of stuff. There’s a ton of content.

Some of the stuff on the old site that’s no longer relevant, we got rid of it,” he said. “If there’s a business coming in and we want to highlight it [or] some random act of kindness, why

shouldn’t that go in? […] If there’s not a link or something’s not on the website, there’s no reason why we can’t put it on.”

If residents want to recommend additions to the website, they can email them to: info@broadview-il.gov, Caldwell said.

You can access the new website at: broadview-il.gov.

During the Answer Inc.’s annual gala, held Sept. 16 in Elmhurst, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson presented the proclamation to Vines. Thompson said that the measure was spearheaded at the board level

by Broadview Trustee Tara Brewer, who has a son with special needs.

National Suicide Prevention Month

Coping with suicide is one of the most difficult situations we as a community will face. It raises a lot of strong feelings that can paralyze us. While none of us can prevent suicide 100% of the time, there are things we can do that can prevent suicide much of the time.

Most attempts are preceded by warning signs. Knowing what these are, knowing your unique situation, and having your own crisis plan can help you be prepared.
