Committee reviews pool feasibility changes and narrows parks director search to five candidates
Summary
The committee agreed to transition the pool feasibility group to an independent citizen fundraising group and reported the hiring committee narrowed 13 applicants to five finalists with interviews tentatively scheduled for April 1–2.
Committee members discussed reorganizing the pool feasibility group into a less formal citizen-led fundraising group and received an update on Parks and Recreation director recruitment.
Members described the pool feasibility committee transitioning into a citizen volunteer group similar to a previous visibility committee; the new group would not be a village-appointed committee but would attend Parks and Recreation meetings to coordinate letters of support and fundraising. The change is intended to focus volunteer energy on donor outreach and securing pledges rather than formal feasibility duties.
On recruitment, staff said 13 applicants applied. After phone screening and hiring-committee review, five candidates were selected for interviews. The village board requested access to all applicant materials in closed session and will provide feedback before interviews. Staff said interviews are tentatively scheduled for April 1–2, 2026.
No formal votes were taken beyond consensus to move forward with the described next steps; the hiring timeline and the volunteer group’s role were recorded for staff follow-up.
