Welcome to the Village of Oak Brook!
Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Visitors,
I would like to wish you all a happy and healthy 2015! Winter sure has arrived! Be sure to keep warm and make sure your heat is working properly. Be extra cautious when driving in the inclement winter weather. The winter months are a great time to check out some of our programs at the Library. They are all listed on the website at

The Village Board adopted the 2015 Budget on December 9. The 2015 Budget includes major capital improvements, water system improvements totaling $1.6 million and roadway improvements totaling $5.1 million. The Village Board remains committed to conservative spending while investing in our community. Based on the adopted budget, the Village will still maintain almost seven months of operating expense reserves.
Oak Brook has a very successful electric aggregation program, which is available to residents and small businesses. We have a contract with Verde Energy USA which expires in June 2015. The Village Board confirmed appointments to the Electric Aggregation and Issues Committee to continue the great work that has been done so far. The Committee is meeting again and is being co-chaired by Trustee Jerry Wolin and resident Terry O’Malley. Also sitting on the committee is Trustees Mike Manzo and Asif Yusuf and residents Tom Cygan and Mario Vescovi. They will be looking for the best deal for our residents and businesses to continue on the savings. Oak Brook residents and small businesses will save over $3 million on their electrical supply from the onset of electrical aggregation in 2012 through June 2015.
Feel free to call, email or see me if you have any thoughts, ideas or concerns. We are always looking for volunteers to serve on our committees and commissions. If you are interested, please contact me. We are here to serve you!
Kind regards,
Gopal Lalmalani, MD, MBA
Village President
