The officers' alleged low morale is causing a high turnover within the department.

Oakbrook Terrace aldermen told the I-Team a special City Council meeting has been scheduled for Friday, during which the public will be given an opportunity to speak, but further discussion about the developing situation will be in closed session or closed to the public.

No further information was immediately available.
