Village board accepts police sergeants resignation, adopts retirement proclamation
Summary
The Village Board of Trustees approved a resolution accepting the resignation of a police sergeant and adopted a proclamation honoring his retirement and designating a day in his honor.
The Village Board of Trustees on June 26, 2025 approved a resolution accepting the resignation of a police sergeant and adopted a retirement proclamation naming Tuesday, July 22, 2025 for the officer.
The action matters because it removes a sworn officer from the villages roster and establishes an official proclamation recognizing the officers service; the board recorded the approval during its regular meeting.
Board members voted on a resolution described in the meeting as accepting the resignation of a police sergeant. The meeting record shows the motion was moved and seconded; individual vote calls during the roll call recorded ayes from Trustee Coffey, Trustee Lopez, Trustee Dorio (recorded variously in the transcript as Doria/Dorril), Trustee Corrales, Trustee Cauley (recorded in the transcript as Cauffy/Cauley) and Mayor Williams. The mover and seconder of the motion were not specified in the public record provided.
The retirement proclamation presented at the meeting recognized the officers length of service. The transcript records two figures for the officers tenure: 14 years with the village police department and 25 years of service as a police officer. The proclamation named Tuesday, July 22, 2025, for the officer; the transcript records the day as "Sergeant Thomas Fitzy Day" and shows multiple spellings of the officers surname in the record (record variants include Fitzhie, Dipske and Fitzy). Because the meeting record uses multiple spellings, the transcript evidence for the officers full surname is inconsistent.
Discussion at the meeting did not include a public presentation of a replacement hire or a timeframe for filling the vacant position. No formal direction to staff about recruitment or interim staffing for the police department appears in the meeting record provided.
The resolution accepting the resignation and the proclamation were part of the routine business portion of the meeting. The board did not attach additional conditions to the resignation in the public record provided.
A separate agenda item or earlier roll-call entry in the record shows a vote in which a member recorded "No" (identified in the transcription as "Witt? No."), but that negative vote was not tied in the public transcript to the resignation resolution and appears to refer to a different agenda matter.
