Mayor Mackail suggested that the Village Manager provide Council with his recommendations. Mr. Bradford noted that the duties of the Building Official concerning the activities associated with the Board of Adjustment would definitely be reduced if such functions were transferred to the Village Council; however, Council would be reducing the participation of Village residents in the basic functions of the Village Council.

Council concurred with Mr. Bradford's recommendation. C) Mayor Mackail expressed concerns about the coordination and compliance of the landscaping at County Line Plaza.
