Mokena Officials Side With Stances in 1982
A look back at 1982 shows Mokena village board firmly backing or opposing key measures. Early in the year it filed objections to the Hickory Creek flood control dam plan, citing environmental and financial concerns, then approved a sewer and water rate hike raising bills over 36 percent. In March the board moved to study a tri village 911 emergency system and considered licensing rules for video game parlors.

After early talks, officials planned a master plan study before any decision on airport expansion and deferred stance on the Hickory Creek flood plan.
