DuPage Township Appoints Temporary Township Supervisor

WILL COUNTY, IL — The DuPage Township Board has appointed Trustee Terri Ransom as temporary Township Supervisor after the death of DuPage Township Supervisor Gary Marschke on Sunday.

The Township said it conferred with its attorneys and called for an emergency meeting on March 9 to appoint a temporary supervisor.

"Trustees went into executive session. When the open meeting resumed, they voted to appoint Trustee Terri Ransom as temporary supervisor for the next 60 days," the Township said in a release. "By state statute, a new supervisor must be elected at the end of the 60 days. The April 1 Consolidated Election falls within this 60-day window."

The Township Board will also hold a special meeting on Wednesday to pass a resolution to make Ransom the official signatory for township bank accounts.
