Commission delegates signature authority for MILRs to land-use commissioner
Summary
The commission voted to delegate signing authority for maps and forms (MILRs) related to land-use actions to the commissioner assigned to land use (Commissioner Gwen Brown); county attorney advised the action clarifies signature practice but does not delegate legislative approval.
The Kane County Commission unanimously voted on March 11 to authorize Commissioner Gwen Brown, the member assigned to land use, to sign MILRs (maps and related forms) on behalf of the commission.
Chair remarks explained that by prior practice the commission chair signed MILRs; the proposed change transfers day-to-day signature responsibility to the commissioner overseeing land use to streamline processing. County Attorney Rob Van Dyke advised the commission that the action is a delegation of signature authority—completion of previously approved legislative actions—not a delegation of the commission's legislative authority to approve matters.
Van Dyke recommended that if the commission wants a permanent change to practice they should consider updating the formal rules of order and procedure; today's vote was an official, time-limited delegation recorded in the minutes. The motion passed unanimously.
