VILLAGE OF ANTIOCH
BOARD OF TRUSTEES, RECONVENED MEETING
Antioch Fire Station #1, Apparatus Bay: 835 Holbek, Antioch, IL
September 12, 2002
 
CALL TO ORDER The reconvened meeting of the Board of Trustees was called to order by Mayor Pro-Tem Larson at 7:35 p.m. in the Antioch Fire Station #1, Apparatus Bay: 835 Holbek, Antioch, IL.
ROLL CALL Roll call indicated the following Trustees were present: Larson, Caulfield, Foresta, Porch and Hanson. Also present were Mayor Pro-Tem Larson, Attorney Anderson and Clerk Rowe.

ATTORNEY Village Attorney Don Anderson discussed the right to vote of the Mayor Pro-Tem. Mr. Anderson said the Mayor Pro-Tem can choose to vote as the Mayor, or as a member of the Board of Trustees. Attorney Don Anderson asked Mayor Pro-Tem Larson to make the choice for the record. Mayor Pro-Tem Larson stated that she will be voting as a Trustee of the Board. There was a discussion regarding the previous meeting where Mayor Pro-Tem Larson voted as Mayor. Mr. Anderson said that Mayor Pro-Tem Larson was given instruction by him that she was to vote only in the event of a tie or where necessary to provide for majority one way or another. After he checked the statute and noted the interpretation that the Mayor Pro-Tem is given the choice, he advised Trustee Larson that she has a choice. The results of the motions at the September 9, 2002 meeting would not have changed if she was given the choice and exercised her right to vote as Trustee.
TRUSTEE PORCH Trustee Porch asked what specific items does the Village feel obligated to consider in order to satisfy the Memorandum of Understanding.
ATTORNEY Attorney Anderson said that essentially everything that is on tonight's agenda except the ordinance regarding the rear yard variation. Trustee Porch said that she is not talking about the first reading of the ordinances, she is talking about the outstanding items that Board needs to take action on. Attorney Anderson stated that the items include, but may not be limited to: Ordinance annexing 55 Acre parcel; Ordinance approving the annexation agreement; Ordinances establishing the special service area numbers one and two; if the Clublands PUD is preliminary approved, then approval of the Final Clublands PUD; approval of the final settlement agreement that would settle the lawsuit. Attorney Anderson said there may be something that he missed, but these are generally the list of things remain after the items that are on the agenda tonight.

Attorney Anderson briefly discussed the comprehensive plan with the current smaller lot size. Mr. Anderson said that because of the smaller lot size, there could be several requests for variances which may be more difficult to implement and may create a hodge podge architectural style.

TOM BURNEY Mr. Tom Burney, Attorney for Neumann Homes, clarified that the Memorandum of Understanding asks that the board consider the requests, it does not bind the Board to approve.
TRUSTEE CAULFIELD Trustee Caulfield said that Trustee Pierce, Chairman of Planning, Zoning and Building Committee called him and asked that the Planning and Zoning Board's letter of recommendation regarding the proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan; Business Category remain tabled until next Monday because he could not be at the meeting tonight.
TRUSTEE HANSON Trustee Hanson said that he appreciates the public participation and comments as the Board tries to make difficult decisions regarding the future of our community.
TRUSTEE PORCH Trustee Porch asked if there is a motion needed to re-table the item. Attorney Anderson said that the proper motion, if any, would be to remove the item from the table, otherwise it would remain tabled. Trustee Porch asked if there could be discussion on the item. Attorney Anderson said the discussion allowed would be on the question whether to remove the item from the table, but not on the substance until it has been removed from the table.
REMOVE FROM TABLE A motion was made by Trustee Porch to remove the Planning and Zoning Board's letter of recommendation regarding the Proposed Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan; Business Category 40 Acres and Land Use Plan Amendment indicated Commercial and Urban Residential on the 55-Acre site. The motion dies for lack of a second.
