Tree-ordinance text amendment (26-043) tabled after attorney materials arrived late
Summary
Trustees tabled ordinance 26-043, which would amend tree-preservation rules, because the packet did not include attorney revisions; the village attorney described three document versions (clean, existing, redline) and trustees asked the Environment Committee and staff to continue work before bringing it back.
The board tabled Ordinance 26-043, which would amend Chapter 138 related to tree preservation on private property, after trustees noted the packet did not contain the village attorney's review and redline comments. Trustee Schaller and the village attorney explained the office had prepared a clean version, the existing code, and a draft showing strikeouts and additions to help trustees identify substantive and procedural changes.
The mayor and trustees thanked the Environment Committee and staff for their work but said the board should wait until the attorney's revisions were fully incorporated and available in the packet before considering final approval. A motion to table the ordinance carried; trustees plan to discuss the item again under old business when the corrected materials are available.
