IV. AGENDA FORMAT REVIEW
This item is a continuation of the discussion begun on December 22, 1992 and
continued on February 9, 1993.
Over the past several months, elected officials have expressed the desire to review
the Village Board Agenda format in an effort to: (1) prow;de all interested parties
adequate opportunity to speak on matters of interest and concern; (2) reduce the
number of times a petitioner (ZBA, Plan Commission, etc.) has to appear before
the Village Board at the same time allowing interested parties adequate
opporturSty to speak to such matters; and (3) to streamline the Agenda so that
Village business is conducted in the most expeditious and efficient manner possible
while still honoring the goals identified in points 1 and 2. It was also determined
that this would be an appropriate time to address the previously deferred item of
Voting Requirements.
At the February 9, 1993 meeting, several modifications to the existing Agenda
format were discussed. A minor reordering of set Agenda items was approved
along witl~ the addition of a set item devoted to Trustee comments~ A draft of
the revised Agenda is included in your information package. The concept of
moving toward a Consent Agenda did not receive a favorable consensus among
Board members. The subject of Voting Requirements, including standardizing
categories of voting, remain to be discussed.
At the December 22 meeting, Trustee Wilks raised a number of ancillary issues
which required extensive staff review. Your package includes an updated
memorandum from Attorney Everette Hill addressing many of those points in
more detail. The attached information package is designed to help facilitate
discussion regarding the wide variety of individual issues which may be raised.
Mr. Hill will be in attendance at Tuesday everfing's meeting to answer questions
if necessary.
