George Brown was the first appointed Service Director followed in order by Thomas Merrigan, Charles Fruend, William Henderson, Thomas Hladky, Gary Pesuit and currently serving is Dave Biggert. In 1921 only two of the Villages roads were paved and only one lane wide.

Commercial Driver License (CDL) is required for those individuals operating the large snow plowing equipment.
