Commissioner Kalis moved, seconded by Commissioner Yedinak to approve the minutes dated November 21, 2019 as presented. The motion was approved by a voice vote.
9. OTHER BUSINESS
A) 2020 Plan Commission Schedule
Ms. Knysz referred to a discussion in October regarding changing the meeting dates from the second and fourth Thursdays of each month to the second and fourth Wednesdays. The rationale was because this year approximately half of the Plan Commission meetings occurred the same week as the Village Board meetings and Staff would need to turnaround the inform Friday to get people on the next Board Meeting and it would sometimes run up against the clock and applicants would end up waiting an extra week. If the Plan Commission meetings were on Wednesdays, there would be an extra 2 days. The new schedule would also give extra time to the Plan Commission to reach out to Staff. The agendas would be sent out on Thursday the week before which would give the Commissioners Thursday and Friday to get a hold of Staff.
Commissioner Creech moved, seconded by Commissioner Kalis to approve the calendar as presented. The motion was approved by a voice vote.
Chairman Johnson announced the December 19th would be a big meeting with three public hearings.
10. ADJOURNMENT
Commissioner Creech moved, seconded by Commissioner Yedinak to adjourn the meeting at 7:32 p.m.
