In a public hearing, citizens and trustees generally praised the 186-page report that capped a nearly yearlong effort.
Northbrook Development & Planning Services director Michaela Kohlstedt headed a 40-strong contingent of village staff and board members principally trustees Bob Israel and Heather Ross and various village entities, guided by sustainability consultant paleBLUEdot of Minnesota, whose co-founder, Ted Redmond, spoke at the hearing.

Certainly it is in its infancy, but Kathryn Ciesla established an inclusive tone in her first full meeting Tuesday as Northbrook Village president.
Perhaps unavoidable, as she was joined in the remote meeting by new trustee and Nigeria native Joy Ebhomielen, the first African-American to serve in that post for Northbrook.
First up, a Girl Scout Troop from Wood Oaks Junior High delivered the Pledge of Allegiance.
