Maywood board approves reinstatement and 10 weeks' back pay for Angela Smith
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees approved a Reinstatement and Release Agreement for Angela Smith on July 19, providing 10 weeks of back pay with the Village matching Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) contributions.

Earlier in the meeting trustees had moved to table New Business items until after closed session; after reconvening, Trustee S. Reyes-Plummer moved and Trustee A. Sanchez seconded the motion to approve the reinstatement agreement. The motion passed with Mayor Nathaniel George Booker and Trustees A. Sanchez, S. Reyes-Plummer, M. Lightford and A. Peppers voting yes and Trustees M. Jones and I. Brandon voting no.

The minutes record the financial terms (10 weeks of back pay and IMRF matching) but do not provide additional details about the circumstances that led to the agreement. The board recorded the approval as a formal action taken in open session after the closed-session discussions.

The board's public minutes do not list further administrative steps or timelines tied to the reinstatement beyond the vote recorded in the meeting minutes.
