The City of Villa Park announced a reorganization of the City Council at its December 15, 2021 meeting and, as anticipated, Crystal Miles was selected as the new mayor of Villa Park.
Established protocol was followed and the Mayor Pro Tem, Chad Zimmerman, was unanimously voted in as the next Mayor by the council members. Tradition then continued with the selection of Vince Rossini as Mayor Pro Tem, who compiled the most votes in the 2020 election. Under this tradition all City Council members will serve a year as Mayor Pro Tem and then Mayor.
The position of “mayor” present in this type of government is largely a ceremonial title, and is selected by the council from among its members. The mayor presides over city council meetings and signs all ordinances and resolutions adopted and contracts approved by the City Council. The mayor cannot directly appoint or remove officials, and lacks veto power over City Council votes.
