The golf club is at the center of a controversy over the suspension nearly four months ago of the community’s popular police chief.

Sonia Coffee, who manages University Park Golf Club, describes plumbing, refrigeration, ventilation and other issues that were corrected in a kitchen area during a Thursday tour of the public golf course and conference center.

Nobody cleaned grease traps, she said, which caused drains to back up and raw sewage to flood restrooms and a bar area. Refrigeration equipment broke down and had to be repaired. Raccoons got into a building and caused problems, she said. Coffee defended her record, saying she spends less money than comparable facilities to keep operations running.

Roudez and other village officials have refused to answer questions about the incident, citing confidentiality over a personnel matter. The village cited the same reason in declining a request through the Freedom of Information Act for a copies of police reports.Wilson has served with the department for many years and is the first Black woman to head a law enforcement agency in Will County.
