If our Village Board chooses to settle the suit, it is our understanding the boarding amendment will likely be voided, and work will need to begin on drafting new codes. If the suit is not settled and proceeds in the courts, we’ll likely be faced with legal expenses for a protracted period of time (likely years) defending the amended code.
Those wishing to submit their comments in advance of the meeting can do so via email to the Village Clerk at clerk@vbhil.gov through tomorrow, September 22nd. Comments can also be dropped off at Village Hall, or faxed to 847-551-3050.
While we’re no longer obligated to provide our addresses in written or public comment, we believe it’s important to at least indicate whether you are a resident or not along with your comments.
