Summary / Notes from Group Discussion

Village Manager  Need stability here; ANY and ALL problems, mistakes, screw-ups will be the FAULT of the Oak Lawn First Team going into 2015 elections  Larry Deetjen has done an incredible job under extremely distressful and fucked-up circumstances; it will be exciting to see how effective he can be with a Mayor and Board that supports him instead of undermines him  TWO HUGE projects that Deetjen has SIGNIFICANT INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE of that will cost almost $300 Million: 1. 111th & Cicero Development 2. Water Distribution Project  Deetjen needs a contract; at least 2 years, as many as 4 (up until next Mayoral election)

Police Chief  Deetjen in the process of choosing new Police Chief RIGHT NOW (it’s the Village Manager’s hire)  He’s choosing from in-house candidates which will be good for the rank-and-file’s morale  Living in town is CRITICAL in the police chief position and some candidates have said they won’t move to Oak Lawn

Fire Chief  Like Village Manager Fire Chief should get some type of contract or assurances  Very talented individual who took a borderline dysfunctional department and restored order, professionalism, and pride  Like Deetjen the Fire Chief was looking at other positions over the last several months b/c of rumors (valid) that he would have been fired and replaced with Steve Rockey if Heilmann prevailed

Other Staff:  Give Village Manager 6 months to effectuate changes that are necessary to more effectively do the people’s work  Avoid developing close friendships/relationships with employees  Avoid temptation to help friends and family get Village jobs (beyond summer/part-time jobs)

Village Attorneys: Peterson, Johnson and Murray (Paul O’Grady, Pat Connelly, etc al)  These guys have done an excellent job for the Village under horrible circumstances  Like Larry Deetjen, it’s scary to think how much better these attorneys would have been without Heilmann and Streit attacking and undermining them  The Village Manager’s HIRE and Responsibility  Avoid involving yourselves here given the disaster that befell Oak Lawn because of former Village Attorneys Other Attorneys (doing work for Village)  Primary Adjudicator – Joe Pecko: Heilmann appointment since 2005; should be replaced immediately  Secondary Adjudicator – Russ Miller: Streit Appointment since 2009; should be replaced immediately  Worker’s Comp – John Campbell (D6) and Jim Egan (D3): Since 2006; do a good job and were supportive  Prosecutor – Kevin Cunningham: Since 2007; does a good job, and worked on campaign (10 people in D4)  Police & Fire Commission - Russ Miller: Streit Appointment since 2009; should be replaced immediately  TIF WORK – Vince Cainkar: Streit Recommendation in 2010; should be replaced immediately

Trustee Committees  Oak Lawn First was given a clear mandate that the PEOPLE want you to do THEIR work  Terry Vorderer had a decisive win in D4, but Sandra Bury won D4 as well  People are already blogging on Patch “Vorderer for Mayor in 2017”  Bob Streit should not be trusted and AVOIDED at all costs; he will do you all harm and do this Village damage  Carol Quinlan was 100% in lock-step with Heilmann on EVERY BAD DECISION that you guys ran against  Given these circumstances, here is the proposed structure for the Trustee Committees that was talked about  Breaking Technology from Finance and making Vorderer Chair will buy some goodwill with him and temper criticisms

Resident Committees  Avoid the temptation to “win over” opposition instead of “rewarding” support. ALWAYS. REWARD. SUPPORT.  REPLACE EVERY COMMITTEE POSITION you are able to as soon as you are able; make no apologies  Below are the various Committees that appointed residents serve on and earn some money doing so (nominal)  Almost ALL are appointed by “The Mayor with the Advice & Consent of the Board”  Names Highlighted in Yellow are eligible for IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT OR FILLING  Otherwise they names are listed in descending order or Date Term Expires  Names in RED TEXT are opposition; Names in BLUE TEXT are supporters NAM Committee / Board DIST.
