During a recent Village Board meeting, Village Manager Jackson led discussions that included key appointments to local health and zoning boards. The board unanimously approved the appointments of Janet Cosby to the Board of Health and Matthew Schoner to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
This marks a significant shift in the appointment process, as it is the first time the current administration has made appointments outside of the traditional Citizen Involvement Commission process. The Village Manager emphasized the importance of diversity in these roles, aiming for a commission makeup that reflects a variety of perspectives, races, and ages.
The Village Manager expressed gratitude towards the Citizen Involvement Commission for their ongoing efforts in facilitating a diverse applicant pool. Following the appointments, the board moved swiftly to approve the consent agenda, indicating a collaborative and efficient meeting atmosphere.
