She currently is employed as a marketing director with many years in leadership strategy, marketing, communication and public relations.
I will appointment with the advice and consent of the Board of Trustees to be effective, and for her to be sworn in at the August 18th meeting. As Trustee Camerer was serving in an elective municipal office with a four-year term that expires in May of 2021, this appointment, if confirmed, will likewise expire in May of 2021. Accordingly, I hereby appoint Stephanie Gandsey to fill the vacant office of Village Trustee of the Village of Bartlett or the remainder of the term expiring in May of 2021, and forward my appointment to the Board for confirmation.

16. NEW BUSINESS
Trustee Reinke asked if they needed to state the practicality of the meeting or the fact that it is hybrid.
Attorney Mraz stated that they only needed to do it one time. A declaration has been sent from the Mayor saying that it is not practical and does not have to be done for every meeting. The problem is that we don’t know how many people from the public can appear in the Council Chamber since there are limits. If you have the whole staff and the whole board, public and press show up, they may not be able to obtain social distancing. That is why they have the hybrid meeting. In case people didn’t come, they would not want to cancel the meeting because there was not a physical quorum present. He thought it was nice that the public could also participate via Zoom.
17. QUESTION/ANSWER PRESIDENT & TRUSTEES
