Trustee George Warga was honored at the May 17th Village Board meeting for his 16 years of service to the Village of Northfield. Effective June 1st, Trustee Warga will be leaving the Board, as he is moving from Northfield. The Board and staff extended their gratitude and appreciation for his many years of service to the community.
Trustee Warga originally served the Village on the Plan & Zoning Commission for eight years, serving as the Commission Chair for four years. He became a Trustee in 2009 and since that time has helped lead a number of committees, including the Preliminary Plan Review Committee, Business Development Committee, Long Range Financial Planning Committee and Northfield Now Committee. His incredible vision and dedication has helped make Northfield one of the most vibrant and successful communities in the area.
Village President Fred Gougler is planning to appoint an interim Trustee to fill the ten months remaining in Trustee Warga’s term. Northfield residents interested in filling this important role are encouraged to email President Gougler via Executive Assistant Holly McDonald at hmcdonald@northfieldil.org by June 30th. An appointment is expected to be announced in July.
