DATE: April 3, 1996
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE REVISION, CHAPTER 2.28 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
Bill, enclosed is a revision to our to our Municipal Code creating the position of Part-Time Police
Officer (2.28.040 & 050). The President and Board of Trustees have already had an opportunity
to review this concept, and the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners has been polled by Mr.
Walser and unanimously endorse the ordinance. Please note that the amendment also revises
Section 2.28.080, bringing the Village into compliance with an Illinois statute that permits
fire /police officers 5 days rather than 24 hours to appeal suspensions imposed by the service
Chiefs. The Commission has also reviewed and endorsed this change.
Please place this item on the agenda for the April 15, 1996 meeting of the President and Board of
Trustees.
Thank you.
