Arrowhead Planned Development

reconsider the extension of the annexation agreement of Chesterfield Builders
requires the presence of all the members of the Board who voted on the original
motion. He said that he had asked Trustee Bogart to submit a letter stating
his position , but that he had not received it. It was decided to wait for Mr.
Raysa to arrive to determine how the matter should be handled.
9 :10 P.M. - President Fabish declared a recess.
9:25 P.M. - The meeting resumed.
Mr. Raysa arrived during the recess.
Mr. Raysa clarified his opinion by explaining that a temporary majority should
not be able to over-rule a vote taken of the entire Board. He said that it
is not a statutory requirement but is part of Robert 's Rules of Order. Trustee
Rech stated that the Illinois Municipal League publication , Procedures and
Practices of Illinois City Councils and Village Boards, written by Louis Ancel
and Stewart Diamond outlines the same procedure. For that reason, she stated
that she would not participate in the reconsideration.
Because Trustee Bogart had strong feelings on the subject, Trustee Marienthal
felt that he should be present to participate in the discussion. He felt that
the reconsideration could be delayed one week; therefore, he did not want to
participate in the reconsideration this evening.
Fred Hillman of Chesterfield Builders stated that he would be present to request
reconsideration next week.
