LA GRANGE, IL – The La Grange Village Board plans to vote Monday on a contract for a new village manager.

The board is poised to appoint Lisle Assistant Manager Jack Knight as La Grange's manager. He is filling the position left vacant by Andrianna Peterson, who resigned in August after five years in charge.

Under the proposed contract, Knight would make $175,000 a year. That is less than former Manager Andrianna Peterson's $182,200, but far more than Knight's $120,500 salary in Lisle.
