There is a discussion around upgrading the website for the Board, and whether or not there will be translations into other languages.

The Board honors the life of former MWRD President Terrence J. O’Brien, who passed late last month. He was re-elected three times by Cook Country constituents, and first elected to the position of President in 1997.
