The Park District is working to establish a 3 to 5 year plan. Mayor Welton said he thinks it would be a good idea to renew this committee. He suggested that Trustee Damijonaitis be appointed to this committee to fill the vacancy left by Victor Narusis. Trustee Rudny read a letter he had written to Village staff members. The Mayor has been quoted in a recent newspaper article that the new trustees, Krysti Kovarik, Ray Damijonaitis, and myself are under the influence of fellow trustee Tom Chamberlain.
Nothing can be farther from the truth.
Since May I believe the village board has exhibited balanced diversity and strong independence. As I look back over the last five months, I see that much has been accomplished, and I recognize that a great deal of the credit belongs to you, the village staff. Reconfiguration and approval of the First St. - Greenleaf project. The engineering staff was instrumental in educating the board and citizens on the scope and importance of the project. I believe that the project will be a big plus for our community.
