Fox Point Village President Christine Symchych to retire November 25

Fox Point Village President Christine Symchych will retire from the Village Board at the close of business Wednesday, November 25, Village Manager Steve Kreklow said in the village’s November 13 administrative report. Symchych has served on the board for nearly 16 years and has been village president since 2023. The report did not give a reason for her retirement.

What happens next

Symchych called a special Village Board meeting for Monday, November 23, immediately after the 7 p.m. budget hearing and adoption meeting. Trustees will discuss the transition and may select an interim village president. The village had not named a successor in its November 13 report. The Village Board roster lists her current term through April 2029.

Budget, leaf pickup and other village updates

• Wednesday, November 18 at 6 p.m. Kreklow will discuss the proposed 2027 budget and future plans for garbage and recycling at an informal information session in the Village Board Room at Village Hall, 7200 N. Santa Monica Blvd. Residents can ask questions.
• Leaf and yard waste pickup. The village says two crews are collecting leaves. Yard waste pickup was delayed so crews can focus on leaves.
• Sewer work. After a one-week delay, two crews are expected to work at several sites during the week of November 16. The village expects the lining work to be finished by November 20.
• License plate readers. The board directed staff to look into providers with tighter rules on how data may be used or shared. That direction starts the review of alternatives.
