Trustees approve updates to Ordinance Chapter 12 to align code with current practices

Trustees approved revisions to Chapter 12 of the Village ordinances to update language and correct inconsistencies between current practice and code. Planning staff and village attorney led the review; Trustee Chris and others noted the work addresses procedural and housekeeping items rather than policy changes.Staff cautioned that ordinance updates require legal time and publication costs; the board discussed whether to reestablish an ordinance review committee to distribute review work. Trustees also suggested routing future ordinance revisions through relevant advisory committees before legal drafting to limit attorney time and cost. The motion to approve the Chapter 12 updates carried by voice vote.
