B. Interview of Rick Koebernick for appointment to the Zoning Board of Appeals, effective June 9, 2026, term ending April 30, 2031 Mayor Tinaglia introduced Rick and explained that Rick is a previous business owner here in town and works with the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club. Rick will be an asset to the Zoning Board of Appeals because he understands the community from a business perspective and residentially, since he just put an addition on his house. Rick explained that his family has been in business in town for over 50 years and he wants to give back to our great community. His involvement with the Chamber allows him to connect and help businesses in town. He enjoys helping people navigate the process of opening a business. Trustee Gilbert is extremely impressed with Rick and is thrilled that he is going to serve on this board. Trustee Schwingbeck noted that Rick needed to go to the Zoning Board for a project and asked Rick to elaborate on his experience. Rick said that everyone on the Zoning Board of Appeals was very friendly. The process can be difficult because everything has to be done the right way and if you miss part of the rules you have to go back and do it again. Though the process can feel scary and there are often questions, he felt welcomed. Going through the Zoning Board of Appeals is a process and he wants to help people through that process. Trustee Bertucci has known Rick for many years and says that Rick epitomizes empathy and patience. Trustee LaBedz pointed out that the Zoning Board of Appeals is the end of the process so it is important to work with the petitioners to get everything right. 2  Trustee Zyck worked alongside Rick with the Rotary and the Santa Run and used that as an example of Rick knowing how to follow a process. Trustee Zyck knows that Rick will be a great asset to this board. Trustees thanked Rick for his willingness to serve on this board.
