Thornton Township trustees are putting limits on spending for township events by Supervisor Tiffany Henyard’s administration, and enacting rules for use of credit cards by township staff.

The actions came during a township board meeting Tuesday that actually started out as two meetings, both held in the township’s South Holland offices but in different rooms on different floors.

An ordinance regulating spending for township sponsored events gives township department chiefs a spending cap of $1,000 per week or $10,000 per month, and requires the board to sign off on event budgets before money is committed or spent.

A second ordinance is intended to regulate use of credit cards by township staff. Details of the ordinance were not immediately available.

Township meetings are typically held on the second floor of the township building in South Holland, and there were people seated there along with Trustee Darlene Gray-Everett and Clerk Loretta Wells.
