Schaumburg Cultural Commission member Esha Patel a village resident since 2008 became the first Indian-American woman to serve as a trustee on the village board as she was appointed to succeed the late Frank Kozak, who died in early December at the age of 78.
The fate of a Schaumburg family s six chickens and duck, which members have requested permission to keep since the animals were recently discovered by village officials, will lie in the hands of a soon-to-be-appointed new village trustee.
Schaumburg trustees are poised to accept a $175,000 grant for the expansion of a sophisticated monitoring system that already has provided useful information for police in more than 200 cases.
Family and friends are mourning the death of longtime Schaumburg plan commission member Chuck Valenziano, a Chicago native and food industry veteran who volunteered much of his time to his adopted community after moving to the village in his late 50s.
