Tinley Park board confirms multiple appointments, converts contractors to staff
Summary
Trustees approved appointments to the Veterans Commission and converted three contractors to village positions: Suhaab Berry (data analyst), Christopher Leviston (network and security administrator) and Jalen Hasha (maintenance technician).
At its Feb. 3 meeting the Tinley Park Village Board confirmed several personnel actions, including appointments to a veterans advisory body and conversions of existing contractors into full‑time village roles.
The board appointed Steven Neudwing and Nick Suleyman to the Veterans Commission for fiscal year 2026; both were not present at the meeting when trustees voted to confirm their appointments.
Trustees approved the conversion of Suhaab Berry to the position of data analyst, effective Feb. 9, 2026. The mayor summarized Berry’s roughly three years of relevant experience in health‑care data management, systems integration and ETL pipelines and recommended conversion from contractor to full‑time employee.
The board also approved appointing Christopher Leviston to the network and security administrator role, effective March 16, 2026; the mayor described over three years of network security experience and multiple industry certifications. The transcript contains a variant spelling later in the record ("Leveson"); this article uses the name as first introduced in the board item and notes the alternate spelling in the record.
Finally, trustees approved the appointment of Jalen Hasha to maintenance technician in public works, effective Feb. 4, 2026. Hasha addressed the board and thanked family, friends and coworkers.
All appointments were made by motion, second and roll‑call vote.
