Niles New Party Calls for Performance Management in Niles

Ticket Led by Andrew Przybylo Says All Department Heads Will Be Held Accountable

Andrew Przybylo, candidate for Mayor on the Niles New Party ticket along with Trustee Candidates George “Kappy’s” Alpogianis, John Jecket and Danette O’Donovan Matyas, is calling for applying Performance Management in all of Niles government offices when elected.

“Performance Management is all about Village Department Heads,” Przybylo said.  “Each and every person must adhere to the rules and regulations we will have so that each department is run efficiently and effectively.”  Przybylo said he has learned a lot from watching Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinckle apply the system to county government.  “It’s all about metrics,” he said.  “Procedures must take place in a certain amount of time and sufficient follow up must be done on each and every issue.,” he said.

 Przybylo invited Cook County’s Chief Performance Officer David LeBreton to present a Power Point demonstration on just how Performance Management is working in Cook County and how it can work in Niles and other villages as well. LeBeeton presented to the current Village Board and other boards from neighboring communities March 12th at the Village Hall.

Trustee Candidate George “Kappy’s” Alpogianis heartily endorsed the Performance Management system.  “One of the key duties of government is to ensure transparency and without department heads being held accountable you don’t get that.  The people of Niles deserve this,” he said.

The Niles New Party 2013 slate has held two successful fund raisers and a “Rally” to date.  “It’s been overwhelming to meet and greet all of our supporters,” said Jecket.  O’Donovan Matyas added “I love talking to the residents and hearing their priorities. We will continue this practice even after the election” she said.
