Berwyn City Council appoints John Marshon as new public works director

The City Council of Berwyn made headlines during their recent meeting by adopting a resolution in support of the Illinois America 250 commemoration. The motion, introduced by Councilmember Pabon and seconded by Caldwell, passed unanimously, signaling the city's commitment to honoring this significant milestone in Illinois history.

In a notable appointment, the council also confirmed John Marchand as the new Public Works Director. The decision, however, was met with a split vote. While some council members praised Marchand's qualifications and long-standing ties to the community, others expressed a desire to meet him before casting their votes. Ultimately, Mayor Robert Lovero cast the deciding vote in favor of Marchand, allowing him to take on the role.

The meeting highlighted the council's focus on community engagement and the importance of leadership transitions within the city. As Berwyn prepares for the Illinois America 250 celebrations, the appointment of Marchand is expected to play a crucial role in managing public works initiatives that support the city's growth and infrastructure.
