Plainfield Park District Looks To Fill Board of Commissioners Vacancy
The current vacancy comes after Commissioner Rob Ayres, who served the district for more than 7 years, died May 12, officials said.
PLAINFIELD, IL — Plainfield resident Rob Ayres, who served on the Plainfield Park District Board of Commissioners since 2014, died May 12. After he served the district for more than 7 years, officials are looking to fill the vacancy.
First appointed to the Board in 2014, Ayres was elected in 2015 and again in 2017. As a commissioner, he was the chairperson of the finance and liability committee and co-chair of the personnel and policy committee. Ayres' term was set to end in 2023, so officials said the new commissioner's term will also last until next year.
