Interim Village manager<br />
resigns<br />
In her regular report to the<br />
board, Interim Village Manager<br />
Anne Marie Gaura said<br />
that she would be leaving<br />
her post as of Friday, Jan. 18,<br />
after four months on the job.<br />
“You’ve been fantastic to<br />
work with, and I appreciate<br />
the opportunity I’ve had<br />
here,” she said.<br />
Yukich confirmed that<br />
Gaura is leaving to take a<br />
full-time position as a Village<br />
Manager in another<br />
community. Gaura was hired<br />
to the position on an interim<br />
basis because the board<br />
wanted to leave the possibility<br />
of hiring a new manager<br />
open, should a new mayor<br />
be elected in April.<br />
Since Yukich is running<br />
unopposed, this issue is<br />
no longer a concern, and<br />
Gaura’s successor will likely<br />
be hired on a permanent basis.<br />
Yukich said that the board<br />
has already begun the search<br />
for a new Village manager<br />
both internally and externally,<br />
and that the role will<br />
be filled “as soon as we find<br />
someone.”<br />
Business updates<br />
Yukich announced during<br />
his board report that the new<br />
Dialysis Care Center corporate<br />
headquarters building<br />
has completed its renovation<br />
of the former First Midwest<br />
Bank building on Bell Road<br />
and is now operational with<br />
50 employees. The office<br />
will eventually house 90 employees<br />
and is expected to<br />
be a boost to the business of<br />
local stores and restaurants.<br />
Elsewhere, the Dollar Tree<br />
store was scheduled to have<br />
a Saturday, Jan. 19 grand<br />
opening, becoming the first<br />
business to open in the new<br />
Homer Glen Bell Plaza development<br />
at the southwest<br />
corner of 143rd Street and<br />
Bell Road.<br />
Outlot acquisition denied<br />
The board voted unanimously<br />
to reject a request by<br />
the residents of the Evlyn’s<br />
Gate North subdivision for<br />
the Village to take control<br />
of a private alley built on<br />
an outlot of the subdivision.<br />
Residents hoped the Village<br />
would take responsibility for<br />
the maintenance and plowing<br />
of the small street, but<br />
the board and the Plan Commission<br />
both deemed it too<br />
narrow, an issue they saw as<br />
creating a potential liability.
