Skoki Expands Youth Commission to 25 Members Amidst Strong Interest
The Skoki Village Board approved the formation and expansion of a new Youth Commission. Initially planned for 16 members, the board increased the capacity to up to 25 members to accommodate strong applicant interest, including outreach to Evanston Township High School District. The commission will focus on youth concerns such as isolation, mental health, social media impact, and the need for safe gathering spaces. Amarie Bonuzi and Brian McHugh will staff the commission.
Skoki Approves Lot Consolidation for Property at 9050 Keystone Avenue
The Skoki Village Board approved a resolution to combine two parcels of land into one lot at 9050 Keystone Avenue. The property, located in the R1 single-family residential district, is owned by a single owner and currently has multiple property identification numbers (PINs). This consolidation is a standard village practice to simplify ownership and property management, especially as the existing single-family home crosses multiple lot lines.
