DuPage County Zoning Board to revisit updated rules of procedure on June 26
Summary
The DuPage County Zoning Board of Appeals discussed updated and amended rules of procedure and set the item as old business for the June 26 meeting after staff and the state's attorney's office worked on revisions over two years.
Chairman Cartel told members the board’s draft updated rules of procedure were prepared in collaboration with staff and the state's attorney's office and that the revisions address issues related principally to the Open Meetings Act.
"This is not a recommendation to the county development committee. These are our rules," Chairman Cartel said, explaining the board may approve, modify, or reject the draft and that the prior rules would remain in effect if the board rejected the update. He said he has been working on the draft for about two years and had attended continuing legal education presentations two or three times on the Open Meetings Act.
Board members were given the text in advance and were offered time to review. The chair proposed, and the board agreed in discussion, to list the updated rules as an item of old business on the June 26 meeting agenda so members could have more time to examine the changes. The chair also indicated some language might be tweaked, pointing to overlap between terms such as "acting chair" and "chair pro tem." No formal vote to adopt the rules was taken at the meeting.
The transcript indicates the board treated the matter as not urgent and allowed additional time for member review before a formal decision is made.
