After breakfast, Mayor Bob Johnson made opening comments as to the purpose of
the meeting and make the general comment that what he looks for when appointing
new Plan Commission Members is an open mind to Development that will be good
for the citizens of Yorkville and still be open to new ideas and concepts. Bob
passed out agendas and an article from the Illinois Municipal Review concerning the
duties and responsibilities of the Plan Commission.
Planning Commission Chairman, Tom Lindblom also addressed the group with
opening remarks about the function of the Plan Commission as it relates to
recommendations to the City Council.
Mayor Johnson then asked City Administrator, Jim Nanninga to address the issue of
procedures as a development, annexation or rezoning comes through the process.
Nanninga distributed the revised Development Flow Chart where different types of
development move along a colored path as it works it's way toward final City
Council action. Nanninga pointed out the numbered narrative that explains the cost
and timing of each and every step in the flow chart. (See attached) He also pointed
out the last sheet in the packet that is filled out with each petitioner showing the
possible schedule of committee meetings. He also indicated that the City was going
to add a signature block for the developer indicating that he/she has read the
material and agrees to the fees in the flow chart handout. Everyone seemed to agree
that it was a good idea.
Questions came about the minutes that the Plan Commission get in their packets and
the taking of these minutes. It was agreed that Nanninga would review minutes
before they were sent out, and that the commission would get just one packet by at
least Friday before the meeting.
There was discussion about the handout relating to the duties and responsibilities of
the Plan Commission Members. Particularly about visiting each site and coming to
meetings fully prepared.
Tom Lindblom brought up the question, "Where do we want the City to go in the
future?", which generated much discussion. Mayor Bob Johnson had some closing
remarks.
