Lincoln Heights Village introduces new code enforcer; staff to review ordinances before fieldwork
Summary
The village manager introduced a new code enforcer who began work on 02/26/2026; the code enforcer identified herself as a third-generation Lincoln Heights resident. Staff said ordinances are being reviewed before she conducts field enforcement.
The Lincoln Heights Village manager introduced a new code enforcer to council members and residents, saying the hire began on Feb. 26, 2026, and that staff are reviewing laws and ordinances before she begins fieldwork.
The village manager (recorded in the transcript without a personal name) told council and the public that "Miss Tamara Winn has started as our new code enforcer on 02/26/2026" and asked her to introduce herself. In her remarks the new code enforcer gave her name as Tamara Lynn and said she is a third-generation Lincoln Heights resident: "Again, I'm Tamara Lynn. I am a third generation Lincoln Heights resident, so I am very proud to be here and to serve."
Councilmembers welcomed the new hire. Councilmember Trina Carter offered a personal welcome; Phyllis Baber and Norbert Tate identified their committee roles during the exchange. Clerk Lisa Randolph also greeted the code enforcer.
The village manager said the code enforcer will take time to get acclimated and that staff are currently reviewing village laws and ordinances before assigning field duties. The record does not include a job description, salary, or the specific ordinances to be prioritized.
Note on name discrepancy: the transcript records the village manager introducing the new code enforcer as "Tamara Winn" while the code enforcer introduced herself in the record as "Tamara Lynn." The council record provided does not reconcile the two surnames; the article reports both renderings as they appear in the transcript.
