AMEND CH. 2: An ordinance was presented for first reading, which would amend Chapter 2 (Rules of RELOCATE Order) of the Village Code by relocating the Consent Agenda towards the beginning of CONSENT the meetings, rather than towards the end. Ordinance No. 5124 was approved at the July 18, 2000 Village Board meeting which adopted the Consent Agenda as a part of the AGENDA order of business, and placed it towards the end. Mr. Janonis explained that with the Consent Agenda being a new part of the Board's meeting procedures, it was realized, during preparation for the August 1 agenda, that by placing the Consent Agenda earlier in the order of business, it would aid in a more comprehensible "flow" of business.
