Monday Government Agenda

MONDAY, MAY 9
8:30 a.m. – Management Services Committee of McHenry County Board
Meeting in the County Board Conference Room, County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

The agenda calls for consideration of a Resolution authorizing adoption of amendments to the McHenry County Board Rules. These amendments are mostly updating items such as the Roberts Rules of Order Newly Revised (latest issue) as the governing document.

Other revisions relate to verbiage, for instance regarding Zoning Petitions rather than Zoning Board of Appeals Petitions and other similar references to the ZBA

Some additions are being made, for example, how a petitioner may request continuation of a petition. Also all motion regarding zoning petitions are to be made in the affirmative, with a yes vote for approval, regardless of the Zoning Board of Appeals or Hearing Officer recommendation. If the petition receives the required number of affirmative "yes" votes (depending upon the type of petition) the zoning petition is approved. If it fails to receive the required number of affirmative votes it is denied.

The County Board is admonished that comments given regarding a zoning petition may be considered, but the County Board should base its decision on the evidence presented during the public hearing.

7:00 p.m.—Governance Committee of Crystal Lake Public Library Board of Trustees
Meeting in the Library Director's Office at the Crystal Lake Public Library, 126 Paddock Street, Crystal Lake.
