Message from Mayor Jack Tatooles |
|
Dear Inverness Residents,
In the May 26th Inverness E-Newsletter, I shared some exciting service enhancements that the Village will be implementing. Here are several updates:
-
Installation of License Plate Reader Cameras: The Village Board has approved an initial deployment of 20 Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras in strategic locations and entrances across our community. Thirteen (13) cameras located in Inverness' roadways will be installed within the next 60 days. The remaining cameras are awaiting permit reviews from the Cook County Highway Department or the Illinois Department of Transportation, which may take up to six (6) months. To minimize delays, Village Staff will be working closely with adjacent private owners to secure temporary installation sites while waiting for the government permits.
These service enhancements reflect our commitment to enhancing public safety and providing timely information to our community. We appreciate your continued support as we strive to make Inverness an even safer and more informed place to live.
Jack Tatooles
Mayor

The fresh and eye-catching sign was designed and installed by Firefighter Tim Stock. The surrounding landscape was generously donated by Robert E. Horn, Jr. of REH Landscaping of Inverness to add a touch of natural beauty to the premises.
