Kendall County Board chairman Scott Gryder is expected to appoint Ruben Rodriguez, a member of the Kendall County Regional Planning Commission, to fill a vacant seat on the county board, according to county documents.

If approved by board members at a meeting Tuesday night, Jan. 5, Rodriguez, of Yorkville, will replace Matt Prochaska, a former board member who was elected to a four-year term as county circuit clerk in November.

Rodriguez would serve the remainder of Prochaska’s term on the county board, which ends in November 2022.

County officials will also consider Rodriguez’s proposed committee assignments at Tuesday night’s meeting, which include seats on committees for health and environment, animal control, labor and grievance, and law, justice and legislation, according to county documents.

Per his Linkedin page, Rodriguez is Bank of America’s vice president for derivative back office trading systems architecture. He received a degree in electrical engineering from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale in 1985.
