Welcome to the Village of Oak Brook!
Friends and Visitors,
I hope you are all enjoying the summer weather and all that Oak Brook has to offer in the warm weather! Now is a great time to check out the amenities at the Sports Core such as the pool, tennis and the golf course!
I hope to see you on July 3 at the Taste of Oak Brook. There will be entertainment from 4:30 until dusk and we will end the evening with fireworks!
The Polo Committee, under the guidance of Kathy Maher, Jim Pehta, Beverly Taylor, and Bob Sanford, has been working very diligently to prepare for another great season. Polo Matches are set for Sundays: July 6th, July 13th, August 10th, August 17th, and September 14th (Rain dates August 24th and September 21st). Information on ticket prices are available at www.oakbrookpoloclub.com. I hope to see you at the Polo matches!
The Board of Trustees met on June 17 to discuss the potentially significant increase in the Police and Fire pension contributions that the Village is faced with this year. Additional information about this issue is on the website and I encourage you to read about it and contact us if you have any questions.
As you are aware, in May Village Manager Dave Niemeyer, after 7 years of distinguished service in Oak Brook, resigned to become the Village Manger of Tinley Park. The Village Manager Search Committee is working hard to find the next Village Manager. The search committee, lead by me and consisting of all the Trustees, resident Harry Peters, and resident Tom Cygan, is working with an executive recruiter to help find the best candidate to be the next Village Manager. In the transition period, the Board appointed Art Osten, Jr. as the Interim Village Manager. Mr. Osten has 30 years of experience in municipal government.
Enjoy the summer. Feel free to call, email or see me if you have any thoughts, ideas or concerns. We are here to serve you!
Warm regards,
Gopal G. Lalmalani, M.D., M.B.A.
Village President
