Morton Grove Parks Leader Leaves Suddenly

After a brief board meeting Thursday, the Morton Grove Park District board went into a lengthy executive session. The public is barred from those sessions, and public bodies may only legally call them to discuss personnel, real estate, litigation and other such sensitive matters.

Board member Dominick Burdi, who earlier in the day had confirmed that the park district's executive director, Brian Sullivan, had resigned Monday, stepped out of the executive session around 8 p.m. with a press release.

It read: 

Brian Sullivan resigned from his position as Executive Director of the Morton Grove Park District on Monday, Oct. 22, to pursue other opportunities. The Park District Board plans to conduct a search for his replacement. The details of the search proess have not yet been determined, and no timetable has been established. The board may consider the appointment of an interim director to serve until a full time director is appointed.
