If no objections are received the committee will recommend the adoption of the ordinance . This ordinance would also apply to any development that would occur in that area in the future . POSSIBLE ANNEXATIONS - The committee discussed various possible areas that the Village may want to annex.

RECYCLING & WASTE COMMITTEE - CHAIRMAN JOHNSON 1995 RECYCLING - The Village, during the end of 1994 and in 1995, expanded the number of items that can be recycled and realized a 7% increase in the amount of tonnage which is a good sign, however, in the overall picture the recycling amounts dropped by almost 5% due to less yardwaste being recycled last summer. Another factor is that churches and congregate housing are now included in the numbers although they do not tend to have a high amount of recycling material yet still have an amount of garbage that is produced. The Village should be proud of those numbers as there is still 37% of the garbage being diverted from the landfill to recycling. 12 . INFORMATION SYSTEMS COMMITTEE - CHAIRMAN PETRI No report . 13 .
