New Trustee Appointed To Frankfort Fire District Board

FRANKFORT, IL — At a special meeting on Monday, the Frankfort Fire District Board of Trustees appointed James McGeever Jr. to a vacant trustee position, Board President Robert Jacobs told Patch.

Jacobs said McGeever was selected from five candidates who were all interviewed last week. 11 people originally filed for the position.

"James has a well-rounded background in the fire service," Jacobs said.

The vacancy came after the resignation of Donna Vegter, who had a change in residency. Vegter had just won another term in the April election.

McGeever's appointment will be until the next consolidated election in April 2025.
