President Thompson stated the board is in receipt of a resig-
nation from Mr . Wallace E. Berth as Chairman of the Plan

of the entire board and the Village if he did not publicly
thank Mr. Berth for his efforts, energies and time which he
devoted to the Plan Commission. He stated he will be sorely
missed in that capacity and he would hope that in the future,
should the position be again available, and should Mr. Berth

resignation be accepted. Trustee Gleeson seconded the motion
and upon roll call vote the motion carried unanimously.
