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.
