At the same meeting, it was announced the current Deputy Village Manager, Ron Sena, has been named as the Interim Manager. Sena will oversee all Village business along with Mayor Lynn Crawford until a permanent replacement is named.

“It is important that everyone understand that this decision was made at the conclusion of a third-party process that has been ongoing for the past month,” said Mayor Crawford. “It is not a decision that was taken lightly by either the Village Council or myself. We have reviewed the investigation results and believe this is the best decision to keep Village business moving in a positive direction.”
