Cook County Forest Preserve District General Supt. Arnold Randall announced Wednesday that he will step down from his leadership position in January. Randall was appointed by Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle in 2010. Deputy General Supt. Eileen Figel will serve as the interim general superintendent beginning next year until a successor is chosen, the district said in a news release. Randall, who the district said will be leaving the government sector, said in a statement: “It has been an honor to be part of the legacy of leadership at the Forest Preserves I thank President Preckwinkle for the opportunity and support, the staff for their vision and dedication, the Board of Commissioners for their backing, and the Preserves’ many advocates, volunteers, partners and collaborators. Like you, I deeply believe in what the Forest Preserves provides, and I am proud of the work we have done together.”
