Summary

Trustee Thomas and Administrator Van told the Planning & Zoning Commission the village is seeking a permanent building official and expects an intergovernmental agreement with Carpentersville to provide interim plan review and inspection services (estimated ~60 days).

Commissioners were given an update that the village is actively pursuing a permanent building official and that the village has reached an interim arrangement with Carpentersville to provide plan review and building‑official functions while the village completes hiring.

A trustee reported the village held an executive session to hear from one candidate and that officials have requested a written proposal or agreement from a finalist. Staff said the Carpentersville IGA expands plan review responsibilities and would provide a bridge for approximately 60 days once executed, and that the trustees will consider the agreement for approval at an upcoming board meeting.

What happens next: Staff will present the written proposal or IGA to the trustees for consideration; if approved Carpentersville would serve in the interim while the village completes hiring for a permanent building official.
