Lakewood Village Board handled a number of issues at Tuesday night's meeting. Last on the agenda of items facing the Board members was the appointment of two board members replacing John and Dorothy Pfeuffer who resigned because they moved from the Village.
The two trustees put their house on the market thinking it would be quite a while before it sold. But that was not the case and they found themselves residing with a relative but outside the Village, thus causing their resignations.
Following handling of the regular village board business an Executive session was held by the board to discuss and then select two of the 11 residents who filed letters of application for the positions. The intent of the Board was an attempt to have all areas of the Village represented on the board.
The two candidates chosen are Julie Richardson, a former Village Board President and Blake Hobson who has prior government experience as a McHenry County Board member and Township Trustee.
There will be four vacancies to be filled in the next election, three for the four year term and one for a two year term.
Since Dorothy Pfeuffer had served just one year of her four-year term, a special election will have to be held for the two-year term.
