PLANNING COMMISSION’S PRIMARY ROLE
The planning commission is a body of citizens that serve within local government, acting as an advisory group to the municipal governing body on issues and policies related to zoning, planning, land use regulation, and community development. Citizens are appointed to the commission by the Village governing body and represent the municipality at large. Planning Commission members do not represent any particular person, business, or group within their municipality. Instead, the goal is to provide impartial input and guidance that will positively affect the entire municipality and excuse themselves from any actions where a conflict of interest could be perceived.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
The primary role of a zoning board of adjustments/appeals is to review and decide cases where there may be an error in a zoning decision or where a relaxation of the zoning ordinances is requested. Citizens are appointed by the municipal governing body and are to engage in decision-making based on the information that will provide an impartial and positive impact for the municipality on the whole, and citizen members must excuse themselves from any actions where a conflict of interest could be perceived.
The Northwest Cleansweep Program has created an awareness of the dangers posed by hazardous wastes and unused hazardous materials among our constituent population. In addition to educating the public on pollution prevention and waste reduction techniques, Northwest Cleansweep provides a collection outlet for hazardous wastes that continue to be generated throughout our region, and households, very small quantity generators (VSQGs), schools, municipalities, and farms have relied on the program continuing to be available.
