Council members sworn in; president selected
In front of a standing room only crowd, elected officials were sworn in at Monday’s village council meetings.
Council clerk Karen Webb swore in mayor Barb O’Keefe, and council members Steve Maurer and Helen Dronsfield for new terms.
Council member Jeff Hyde nominated council member Sandy Denes for council president. Denes was voted in as president unanimously by the other members of council.
Denes, who is in the midst of her first term on council, replaces Maurer, the outgoing council president.
Several council members and members of the community were appointed to serve on various boards.
Morris Furcron was chosen as the zoning inspector for the village.
Dronsfield was appointed to the community involvement corporation board.
Appointed to the village’s zoning board of appeals was Delbert Mohrman.
Denes was chosen to be council’s Main Street representative. Guy Wells was chosen alternate.
Al Kimmich was appointed to the design review committee.
Tom Cleary was appointed to the planning commission board.
Appointed to the cable commission were Dronsfield and Patti Young.
Bob Box, Mark Rosemark, and Steve Pyles were appointed to the safety committee.
At Monday’s meeting, police chief Steve Rollins informed everyone that school traffic for McCormick Middle School will return to its normal pattern beginning Monday.
Both Carpenter Street and Dickson Street will once again be one-way streets. The traffic pattern was changed due to the construction on Courtland Street.
At the public works committee meeting, Pyles said the Courtland project is almost completed. He said sidewalks and approaches have been poured, but some of the streets still need to be lined.
The next council meeting will be on Wednesday, Jan. 18, due to the holiday following on the normally scheduled meeting day.
