Mount Prospect Mayor-elect Paul Hoefert has opted for experience in choosing his successor as trustee.
On Tuesday, Hoefert announced that former Trustee John Matuszak will fill out the remainder of Hoefert s term, which expires in 2023. Matuszak served as trustee from 2008 to 2017 and chose not to run in the 2017 election.
Hoefert based his decision on the fact that the village board will have three new trustees. I think John s professional experience and prior service to the village board will be helpful to our new board, he said. During his time on the village board, John Matuszak was a significant value-add to the board and for the citizens of Mount Prospect.
