New Board Members For Crystal Lake Park Board

New members were seated and new officers elected for the Crystal Lake Park Board at Thursday’s meeting following a concluding meeting of the past year’s actions.

Outgoing President, Jerry Sullivan congratulated the staff and board for cooperation during the two years and thanked the board members for the cooperation shown during the term he served as President of the Board and thanked them for giving him the responsibility.

Sullivan noted that the board has been able to maintain a consistency and have kept in mind that the board members are not to be micro-managers but should have a vision for the future of the district.

He also noted that this is the first time all board members have been on a seven –member board. Previously the board had five members and some of those were carried over when the board switched to a seven-member board in 2007.

New Members
Richard Passavant, and Paul Myers, two of the three recently elected board members, were sworn in at last night’s meeting. The third newly elected member, Larry Wheeler, who was absent, will be sworn in at the next board meeting. The three are filling the seats of Michael Zellmann, Eric Anderson, and Richard Sexton, who chose not to seek re-election.

Commissioner Debbie Gallagher was unanimously elected as President of the Board. Ms. Gallagher was elected to the Board in 2009. Prior to this, and until her retirement, she was an Administrative Assistant for the Board for many years.

Commissioner Angel Collins is the newly elected Vice-President.

Committee affiliations were also completed based on individual preferences.
