I’d like to introduce myself as the new Village Manager of Westchester. My name is Paul Nosek and I’ve been the Village Manager now for just over a month and I can honestly say it’s been a pleasure. The Village of Westchester is at a point in its history where the next couple of years can really make a long lasting impact on this community. There are a lot of exciting opportunities just getting started and I’m honored to be a part of the process. The two separate TIF Districts being discussed, and the possibility of relocating Village Hall all have huge potential impacts on the Village. While these plans are very preliminary, it shows me that the Village is moving in the right direction. The Village has some great employees that really care about their jobs and take pride in their work and I see it every day. Our public works department, with their vast knowledge of our infrastructure is second to none that I’ve ever worked with. I look forward to working with them this upcoming budget year to set out a long term capital plan that will sustain the excellent services the Village of Westchester has come to expect. Our Police and Fire departments are also top notch and are ready to serve this community at a moment’s notice. I myself come from a mixed background, I’ve been in the private sector working for large corporations to running my own CPA practice and I’ve also worked in the Government side working for various municipalities over the last 17 years. This gives me a unique perspective on the way I feel government should work for its residents. I believe in hard work, responsiveness and fairness for you, our customers. While we do our best to make all of our customers happy, we ask that you
also understand that we have a fine line in which we have to balance our resources, taxes collected, with the needs of the customers. There are a lot of things we would like to do, but because of our limited resources we are unable to. So we try and prioritize what’s going to affect a majority of the residents and give us the biggest impact for our dollars. Of course, that’s not to say that smaller concerns are over looked, we listen to all concerns and will assist in any way we can. All of us at the Village of Westchester appreciate your concerns and look forward to serving you in the future. Thank you for this opportunity to serve you and if there is anything I can do to make Westchester better, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
