This proposed ordinance .amendment is a good case in point. Your Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee was given this assignment, after much hedging and refusals, only a few weeks ago. Upon requesting help from our Village Manager, Chuck Willis, our Village Attorney, Ed Hofert, and our Village Planner, Rolf Campbell, and our Committee in establishing a very strong policy of no secrets, teamwork, etc., this complex assignment, requiring a very tight work schedule, was completed.
