Lake Forest swears in four aldermen-elect at May 4 council meeting
Summary
At its May 4 meeting, the Lake Forest City Council administered the oath of office to four aldermen-elect and heard welcome remarks from the city manager. The council then confirmed mayoral appointments to several city offices.
Four aldermen-elect were sworn in at the Lake Forest City Council meeting on May 4, 2026. Mayor Tac called the aldermen-elect—Nancy Novat, Rosemary K., Alice Levert and Lloyd Culverson—to step forward and administer the oath of office; each recited a pledge to support the constitutions of the United States and the State of Illinois and to discharge their duties to the best of their ability.
The swearing-in concluded with congratulations from the mayor and other council members. At the meeting’s opening, the clerk conducted a roll call that showed a quorum was present; Alderman Botheld was listed as absent.
After the oath, the mayor presented a slate of mayoral appointments required by the city charter and code, including city supervisor, treasurer, clerk, marshal and collector, city attorney, and the city surveyor/engineer. The council moved and seconded approval of the mayor’s appointments and approved them by voice vote.
City Manager (name not specified in the transcript) offered welcoming remarks to the newly seated aldermen, noting their prior volunteer experience and expressing staff’s eagerness to work with them. No members of the public addressed the council during the public-comment opportunity.
The meeting proceeded to other business, including resolutions and omnibus items, before adjourning.
