The Glendale Heights Village Board on June 26 approved two executive appointments: Jeff McCumber as director of public works and Brian Swanson as director of community development.
Village President Giovanni Giannelli introduced McCumber, noting his 33 years with the public works department and a progression through multiple operations roles. The board adopted resolution 2025‑R‑74 to appoint McCumber; trustees approved the resolution by roll call.
Giannelli then introduced Brian Swanson, who the village said currently resides in California and has two decades of leadership experience in community development and urban planning. Swanson is scheduled to start in August. The board adopted resolution 2025‑R‑75 to appoint Swanson; trustees approved the resolution by roll call.
Both leaders spoke briefly. McCumber received congratulations from the board; Swanson told trustees he is “honored” and looks forward to working with staff, residents and trustees on economic development and housing initiatives. The appointments were presented as routine personnel actions under the village’s authority to appoint executive staff.
What’s next: McCumber will assume director duties immediately; Swanson’s start date will be in August. The village indicated both directors will participate in upcoming planning and capital improvement work, including the newly launched GIS capital improvements map.
