Overview
Overview
Each year, the Village Board reviews and approves a work plan for boards and commissions. The commissions recommend to the Village Board a proposed work plan based on the Village Code. Some work plans also contain a budget request. The Village Board can also revise a commission's work plan mid-year if it would like a commission to review an unexpected project or issue.

Recommendation
Adopt the Resolution.
Background
This is an annual agenda item for which commissions create a work plan in accordance with Village Code and submit a draft for review by the Village Board.

Each commission created a red-line version of changes proposed from the prior year. Some commissions have minor or no changes. A summary of major changes from last year, if applicable, is also attached.
After the Village Board reviews and approves the work plans, they will be posted on the Village website and used to establish monthly commission meeting agendas.
