Ross Demant and Connie Schwecke –
I am stepping down as Park Board Commissioner with Otsego effective immediately. I truly enjoyed my
time as a Park Board Commissioner and feel we accomplished a lot through my time with the Park
Board. Unfortunately, family commitments have made it not possible anymore to complete my term.
Thank you again for everything,
Matt Killam
