Glencoe board honors longtime Plan Commission chair and approves new appointments
Summary
At its July 16 meeting the Glencoe Village Board approved a resolution recognizing Bruce Huvard's 21 years on the Plan Commission and confirmed a slate of appointments: Scott Novak as Plan Commission chair, Sarah Elsasser as zoning board chair and Kelly Glauberman as a zoning-board member in an omnibus vote.
The Glencoe Village Board on July 16 approved a resolution honoring Bruce Huvard for 21 years of service on the Plan Commission and confirmed several appointments to planning and zoning bodies.
President Roan presented the resolution thanking Huvard for his leadership on the village's comprehensive plan and for more than two decades of service. After a motion, the board approved the resolution by voice vote; the board then took a photograph with Huvard at the dais.
Why it matters: Huvard's departure prompted a number of leadership changes across the village's land‑use panels. The board approved Scott Novak as chair of the Plan Commission (a four‑year term as circulated), Sarah Elsasser as chair of the Zoning Board and Zoning Commission (five‑year term ending April 30, 2031) and Kelly Glauberman as a member of the Zoning Board and Zoning Commission (five‑year term). The board approved the appointments in an omnibus motion and voice vote.
Trustees moved and seconded the appointment motion and recorded vocal agreement; the president noted the slate fills leadership roles needed for ongoing reviews of the comprehensive plan and streetscape and parking study implementation.
The board did not provide further details in the meeting packet about Novak's prior zoning responsibilities beyond describing him as the former chair of the zoning board and zoning commission and as the zoning commission's representative to the Plan Commission. The terms and dates for appointments were taken from the circulated materials and were read aloud by the president during the meeting.
Next steps: The newly appointed chairs and members will assume the duties described in their appointment letters and will participate in upcoming commission meetings, including the Plan Commission meeting scheduled for August 26.
