Amendments to Village Code related to the June 2007 passage of the State Cable and Video Competition Law, which creates a state-wide franchise for telecommunications providers, effectively replacing municipal franchises for these services:

Creating a comprehensive set of construction standards and requirements for work performed by utilities (including telecommunications providers) in Village rights-of-way, and establishing a permit process.
Establishing a cable and video service provider fee and the access support fee for public, educational and governmental (PEG) programming. As the municipal franchise holder, the Village has always collected these fees -- and this is still permitted under the new law, even in the absence of a municipal franchise, if the municipality passes a specific ordinance to do so. This ordinance will enable the Village to continue to collect from providers a fee equal to five percent of gross revenues as well as one percent of gross revenues for PEG programming.
Establishing customer service and privacy standards relating to cable and video service providers, as detailed in the Act. In order for the provisions of the Act to pertain to the Village, it must adopt them by ordinance.

Public Hearing regarding annexation, rezoning, final site plan approval, preliminary subdivision approval and variation for Central and Milwaukee Plaza, 600 Milwaukee Avenue.
Regarding the Village Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan, an amendment to the Tree Preservation Ordinance.
