La Grange trustees approve annual appointments for village attorney, prosecutor and interim treasurer
Summary
Trustees approved recommended annual appointments for the 05/01/2025–04/30/2026 term, naming L. Rod Friedman LLP as village attorney, John M. Kenny Jr. as village prosecutor and Charity Jones as interim village treasurer and collector.
At the June 23 meeting, President pro tem Lou Gale presented the board with recommended annual appointments for the term of May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2026.
The slate presented included L. Rod Friedman LLP for village attorney and John M. Kenny Jr. for village prosecutor, with Charity Jones recommended as interim village treasurer and interim village collector pending permanent appointments. The board moved to approve the appointments as presented; Clerk Clark Saladino conducted a roll call and recorded aye votes. The motion passed.
Why it matters: These positions include key municipal legal and financial responsibilities; approving interim or annual appointments lets departments continue operating while permanent selections proceed.
What the transcript shows: The appointments were listed on the agenda and approved on a roll‑call vote during the meeting; the transcript records the reading of each recommended appointment, a motion and a roll‑call that produced recorded "aye" votes and the chair declared the motion passed. No discussion of alternatives, contract terms or compensation appeared in the meeting record.
Next steps reported: None recorded at the meeting; permanent appointments were implied as pending future action.
