The Villa Park Village Board meeting of May 10 featured the swearing-in of a new village president and three new members of the village board. DuPage County Circuit Judge Robert Kleeman administered the swearing-in of the recently elected candidates. Nick Cuzzone (pictured with Judge Kleeman) is Villa Park’s new village president. He succeeds Albert Bulthuis, who served one four-year term as village president after spending 10 years as a village trustee. Cuzzone narrowly defeated Robert Wagner in the April 6 election. Both Cuzzone and Wagner completed terms as village trustees this year. The three new trustees who were sworn in to four-year terms on the board at the May 10 meeting are Jack Corkery, Deepa Kumar and Jack Kozar. Kozar received the most votes last month’s six-way race for three available seats on the board. Kumar finished second in the three-way race, while Corkery placed third. Outgoing Villa Park Village Trustee Cheryl Tucker finished fourth in the six-way race. The newly configured board posed for photos after the meeting. Pictured left to right are: Kozar, Trustee Kevin Patrick, Trustee David Cilella, Village Clerk Hosanna Korynecky, Cuzzone, Kumar, Trustee Christine Murphy and Corkery. Korynecky ran unopposed in this year’s election. She is beginning her fourth full term as village clerk.
