WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council of THE UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE,
upon recommendation and request of the Economic Development Committee and members of

and to delegate said authority to the Zoning Board of Appeals; and
WHEREAS, the duties and powers granted to the Sign Review Board are similar in
nature to the duties and powers granted to the Zoning Board of Appeals, except that the Sign
