"Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue, dear man.  In an imperfect world, I fear it’s the best we can manage."  -John Le Carre

At the Public Hearing prior to the Council meeting, folks from MRCOG (Mid-Region Council of Governments) presented the proposed revised Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Ordinance for the Village.  This proposed new Ordinance represents a year long effort by the P&Z Commission and MRCOG to update and simplify the 1955 Ordinance.  This presentation to the public and the Council will be continued May 15th.  The Council will be voting on adoption of the new Ordinance at the June Council meeting.

The Council heard a number of reports and presentations over the following two hours.
