RIVER HILLS VILLAGE MANAGER RESIGNS
River Hills Village Manager Tom
Tollaksen announced today that he has submitted a letter of resignation to the
Village President and the Village Board effective January 31.
Tollaksen, who was appointed River
Hills’ Village Manager in September 1996, said he believes that his goals at
the Village have been largely accomplished, including modernization of public
services; improvement of Village infrastructure; and fostering of a competent,
compassionate and creative Village staff.
“Although I will no longer be village
manager,” Tollaksen said, “I look forward to doing what I can to continue the
Village’s status as a strong and vibrant community.”
Tollaksen said his decision to leave the
Village was not an easy one. “There are
other personal goals that I want to accomplish,” he said, “and the timing seems
right for me and my family.”
Tollaksen said he is committed to
continuing to work hard for the remainder of his tenure as Village Manager to
continue to address financial challenges and to prepare for as seamless a
transition as possible. He said, “The
Village’s budget has not been without challenges. But, the Board and the employees have shown a
willingness to work together to meet the shared goal of delivering quality
services to Village residents at a reasonable cost.”
“It has been a privilege to serve the
Village of River Hills,” Tollaksen said.
