Trustee Lawrence clarifies zoning officer compensation; board affirms village ownership of laptop
Summary
Trustee Lawrence reviewed how zoning fees are handled as compensation and said he has historically donated any payments; the board confirmed the laptop and scanner purchased for zoning duties remain village property and will stay with the office.
Trustee Lawrence reviewed the ordinance and explained that fees collected for building permits are deposited with the village clerk and may be distributed to the zoning officer as compensation reported on a 1099. Lawrence said he previously donated his compensation but said the ordinance makes the distribution and reporting process clear.
The board also reviewed a recently purchased laptop and scanner approved for zoning work; trustees agreed village‑purchased equipment remains village property and will transfer to the next zoning officer as needed. Trustee Lawrence said he does not expect reimbursement to be deducted from village funds for the approved laptop and scanner purchase.
