City Council Makes Several Appointments

If Yorkville Mayor Gary Golinski ever is unable to lead a meeting, Ward 1 Alderman Carlo Colosimo will slide into his chair.

Colosimo was appointed mayor pro-tem Tuesday night. The current mayor pro-tem, Ward 4 Alderman Rose Spears, nominated him for the position, with a second from Ward 2 Alderman Jackie Milschewski. He was the only person his fellow aldermen nominated.

City ordinance requires the aldermen to nominate and vote on the annual appointment at the first City Council meeting in May. Aldermen also approved several appointments suggested by Golinski:

• Mike Anderson, 3-year appointment to Fire & Police Commission
• Carol LaChance, Beth Gambro and Judy Somerlot, 3-year appointments to the Library Board
• Dan Lane, 5-year appointment to the Park Board
• Mike Crouch, 4-year appointment to the Plan Commission
• Todd Overmyer, 2-year appointment to the Police Pension Fund Board
• Jeff Baker, Mike Skinner and Don Hirsch, 5-year appointments to the Zoning Board of Appeals

The only newcomer was Lane, a Heartland subdivision resident and retired school principal.
