Altenberg recommended Dupee, a Hawthorn Woods resident and veterinarian who runs her family’s animal hospital, take the position now held by Jack Mumaw of North Barrington, a retired U.S. Navy admiral. He hoped to continue.
The Lake County Board voted 10-7 — mostly along party lines with one abstention and one recusal — to give Dupee the position at a regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday in Waukegan, taking Altenberg’s advice despite calls for more varied representation.Along with appointing her as the newest trustee of the Lake Zurich Rural Fire Protection District, the board unanimously approved a preliminary real estate tax levy of more than $177.9 million.
McDonnell said the district consists of North Barrington, Hawthorn Woods, Lake Zurich, Deer Park and Kildeer. Each community has one trustee. Adding Dupee when Mumaw’s term expires will double the representation for Hawthorn Woods and leave no one from North Barrington, she said. “Our 3,200 residents in the district lost their voice,” McDonnell said. “Hawthorn Woods has double representation. It’s important my residents have a voice at the table.”
“I want to get to the bottom of this. I want to be fair to all. My issue is the letter from Marah . I want to know when it was received,” Danforth said. “He was a Navy admiral,” he added.Board Chair Sandy Hart, D-Lake Bluff, was one of two Democrats who voted for the postponement and against the appointment, along with Diane Hewitt, D-Waukegan. Hart said it was important McDonnell be “better understood and appreciated.
