There's a change in leadership in the Village of Oakfield.
At a special meeting Monday, Richard Pastecki resigned as mayor and Trustee Jeremy Yasses was appointed mayor.
Pastecki resigned to become the new zoning enforcement officer.
In his new position, Pastecki will be able to use his experience as mayor and knowledge of village plans to help the village move forward, Yasses said.
"Our village is doing great," Yasses said. "(For example, there's) construction of the new water tower and Rick Pastecki was instrumental in the whole process. We have many new projects that will be enhancing our village and we will be gearing up for spin-off developments from STAMP. With Rick as the new zoning enforcement officer, he will help those come to fruition."
Overheard, outside the late
Overheard, outside the late J. Edgar's office: "It's all a matter of perception, my lad. Some ... most, actually, believe the power is in the hands of the president. When you've been around as long as I have, you understand better. It's all a matter of perception."
Richard Pastecki knows!
