Zoning Report/Nuisance Properties: Zoning Administrator Gary Henning Said the biggest problem we had this month was high grass.
Combination of Plan Commission and Board of Appeals: Village Administrator Tony Funderburg advised Julie reviewed the changes Frank Heiligenstein made with respect to the combination of the boards. Frank also included other changes to the Zoning code as well. Tony said Attorney Manion is reviewing the list Julie compiled, and once that is done, We can schedule a hearing before the Plan Commission. We will get the Zoning code updated at One time.
Noise Ordinance: Tony advised he put two sample noise ordinances in the packet. He is working with Mayor Klein on this as Smithton is dealing with the same issue. Tony Said the more we put into the noise ordinance, the harder it will be to enforce. Tony believes we should have a time limit and, when an officer is called to a noise complaint, he should be able to make the decision on whether or not the level of noise is excessive. He thinks example #2 is more what we want after we decide on the times. Trustee Meehling felt the more generalized policy is a better way for us to go. Tony will prepare the ordinance.
NEWBUSINESS: NOne,

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: None.
