Trustees hold first readings of ordinances to reshape Park & Recreation Board and plan commission
Summary
In first readings, trustees reviewed ordinances that would repeal sections of the Park & Recreation Board code and change plan commission membership. Trustees heard that the packet will be updated and no votes were taken on either ordinance at this meeting.
Trustees held first readings of two ordinances that would change local boards’ composition and authorities.
The board received a first reading of Ordinance No. 5 11 20 26, which would amend Article 2 of the Village of Hartland Municipal Code and repeal sections 70‑26 through 70‑31 related to the Park and Recreation Board. A trustee told the public the reading is essentially the first step toward eliminating the Park and Recreation Board; because this was a first reading, no vote occurred.
Trustees then heard a first reading of Ordinance No. 5 11 20 26‑A to amend section 46‑1‑46 concerning plan commission membership. A staff member said an updated version of the ordinance had been circulated to staff and would be emailed to trustees and added to the next meeting packet for further consideration. The currently stated composition (village president, a trustee and five citizens) was described as the intended structure in the updated draft.
Because both items were first readings, no final actions were taken; trustees and staff indicated the amendments will return for further consideration once the updated text is distributed.
