Financial Advisory Committee to the Township

Approved by the Township Board of Trustees in April 2018,  Financial Advisory Committee to the Township (FACT) has one main goal:  to provide structured systemic review of the organization's governance, risk management, and internal control practices.  The FACT Committee includes residents that are registered voters, at least 18 years old, and  have knowledge of advisory roles, finance, IT, the law, risk, and internal controls.  In October, 2018, in addition to a Township Board member and the Township Manager, five members of the Committee were appointed:  Gregory Kolar, Kitty Conklin, Delilah Strickland, Doug Weismantle, and Dirk DeLor.  Two members of the Committee will be appointed by the Oak Park Township Board of Trustees to an initial three-year term and a subsequent two-year term.  The remaining members will serve up to two two-year terms.  Meetings are held quarterly; all FACT meetings will be subject to the Illinois Open Meetings Act.  For questions, please contact khenry@oakparktownship.org at the Township or call 708-383-8005.
