History
On Monday August 8, 2016 a Special Board Meeting was held,to interview three recruitment firms to assist in the selection of a Village Manager. Each firm had an opportunity to give a brief presentation and answer questions from the Village Board.
The following firms submitted proposals for consideration:
--Waters & Company, a Springsted Company, St. Paul, Mn.

During the Special Board meeting, the Board determined that GovHR USA would be best suited to assist in the search and selection of a Village Manager.
GovHR USA is an Illinois public management consulting firm serving municipal clients and other public sector entities on a national basis. They have completed over 325 recruitments since its establishment in 2009. They have worked with cities, counties, special districts and other governmental entities of all sizes throughout the country. In addition, the principals in the firm have held leadership positions within local government, giving them an understanding of any challenges that the Village may face.
