To The Editor:
I appointed former Trustee Rick Olver to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Trustee Amy Attias. I believe that Trustee Olver, thanks to his previous service on the Board, is ready from day one to serve and well positioned to contribute to our community.
I feel it was particularly important to appoint someone that could hit the ground running as we begin work on the 2019-2020 Village budget. The Village’s budget process, which begins with the presentation of the Village Manager’s proposed budget in March and continues to the adoption of the budget in April, can be demanding with many twice weekly Board meetings to review the budget line-by-line with the heads of the Village’s Departments.
Trustee Olver previously served on the Board of Trustees from 2008 to 2011. Olver holds a J.D. from the Harvard School of Law and his law firm is located in the Village. I believe that Trustee Olver’s experience, expertise and deep local ties will make him an asset to the Board of Trustees and the Village. I hope that readers will join me in welcoming Rick Olver to the Board and thanking for him his willingness to serve.
Sincerely,
Brian Pugh
