Trustees voted unanimously to repeal Ordinance 23-12-03, said future funding or fee waivers would require Board approval, then entered executive session to discuss personnel, closed minutes, and IDOT condemnation before adjourning.
At the Nov. 13 special meeting, the Southern View Board voted to repeal Ordinance 23-12-03, the prior ordinance that had governed the relationship with the Neighborhood Watch group. Trustee Greg Bourland moved to repeal the ordinance; Trustee Betsy Richbark seconded and, according to the minutes, "Upon roll call vote, all voted AYE; MOTION PASSES."
