I am a Rolling Meadows resident and have lived in Palatine Township for the past 55 years. I attended Forest View High School, Harper Community College and Northwestern University’s Police Staff and Command. I have dedicated over 37 years to public service, 34 years with the Rolling Meadows Police Department, and the past 3 years as Trustee on the Palatine Township board. I retired from the Rolling Meadows Police Department at the rank of Sergeant and have served as a Rolling Meadows Fire and Police Commissioner and currently serve as Trustee/ Vice President on the Rolling Meadows Police Pension Board.
The four Trustees have authority and responsibility when acting with the Supervisor as the five member Township Board. The Board is the legislative arm of the Township setting policies, practices, and procedures for the Township Supervisor to administer. Board responsibilities include auditing Township bills, attending to annual budgeting and levy responsibilities, spending Township funds, compensating Township officers, appointing the fire protection district trustees and many other functions.
