To All,

I am writing this letter to inform the board that I am resigning my position of Mayor
effective immediately. The Deputy Mayor, Louis Perazzini will be the Acting Mayor.

I have spent my entire adult life in service to others. I served my country for 23 years
in the military and I served many communities during my 23 years of Law
Enforcement. I love this village and its employees. We have accomplished many things
over the last 3 1/2 years and I feel the village is in better shape than how we found it. I
want to thank the board for their service to our community.

The harassment and false accusations have become too much for me and is not fair to
my wife and family. I can no longer effectively lead the village with all the
distractions. It is not fair to the many wonderful residents of this village. I wish the
village and the board the best moving forward. Thank you.

Hon. Luke Leszyk

Mayor
