Little asked the Village Attorney if someone working on the Comp Plan had to have any kind of credentials and background. The Village Attorney advised the anyone working on the Comp Plan should have a background in this field and have credentials and be ready to testify in a court of law if need be. Beddow said if the Village had two people working on the Comp Plan revisions then the cost would actually be increased instead of decreased. Mr. Giba told Council that if they decided this was what they wanted? then Gene Caputo and ." he could go thru the Comp Plan and decide what needs to be done and come back to Council with a workable plan.
