2002 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE DISCUSSION TOPICS
Village Manager Janonis stated that this has become a traditional discussion
for the first meeting of the year to lay out the various topics and priorities for
direction to staff relating to Committee of the Whole topics. He stated that topics
have been gathered from staff and Board members and several items have
already been tentatively scheduled when time permits.
Listing of the topics is as follows:

impact on parking cabs in residential neighborhoods.
· Congressional and Legislative Redistricting Map Discussion: This would
also include various School and Park Districts throughout the Village.
· MIS Division Discussion: Discussion whether space should be allotted for
such an operation in the new Village Hall.
Busse Road Improvement: Cook County has approached the Village to
consider improvements of the road based on the Cook County Five-Year
Budget Plan. It is anticipated that this discussion would be quite
comprehensive and include possible jurisdictional transfer.
John Ozag, 515 South Wille, spoke. He suggested that the Board make certain
that there are as many people involved in the Busse Road discussion as
possible; not just the people who live along Busse Road.
Development Code/Storm Water Detention Requirements: This has been
scheduled for March 26.
