CATLIN — The village council accepted the resignation of the longtime village treasurer Tuesday night.

The board will begin the search for a new treasurer soon, which is an appointed position.

-- Heard that the Catlin Police department will assist with police coverage in other towns with summer functions.

An officer will be stationed at the Sidell Sesquicentennial celebration, but the village will be repaid for his time there that weekend. Help will also be given to Oakwood during the Fourth of July parade as usual.
