The clock has started for Naperville and Lisle townships and Will County to appoint people to new community mental health boards following voter approval Tuesday of referendums in all three jurisdictions.
By approving the measures, voters also authorized the levy of property taxes — up .15% in the two townships and up to .05% in Will County — to fund services that address mental health, substance abuse and developmental disability issues in their areas.
Bedford said he’s trying to determine if the clock starts on Election Day or the day when votes are officially canvassed and certified later this month. Bedford said he has a shortlist of seven community appointees from Naperville Township, and he would like to add two nonvoting, advisory members — the township assessor and a lawyer not affiliated with the township — who can offer logistical guidance.
