Elgin Mall owners will have to wait a little longer to get the approval they need to relocate to East Dundee. Although village trustees in February voted 4-1 to appove zoning and a special-use permit for the mall, East Dundee Village President Jeff Lynam Monday took the unusual step of vetoing those approvals.
East Dundee village board members this week welcomed a veteran chief to lead the village s police department. James Kruger, who most recently served as Oak Brook s police chief, will join the village as police chief Monday.

East Dundee Village President Jeff Lynam fired Village Administrator Jennifer Johnsen after she acknowledged in an email to staff that she was in a relationship with the assistant administrator, but Johnsen said Wednesday she hopes to be reinstated by the village board she believes supports her.
Village Trustee Scott Kunze said Lynam took the action before Monday s meeting without consulting the board, and the board could reinstate Johnsen if five of the six trustees vote to do so at a future meeting. Lynam will present the reasons for Johnsen s dismissal in a special meeting on June 14, and the board could take action then.
