Mr. Horne started the special meeting by reminding the Board of the upcoming October 24, 2012,
Budget Workshop. He then introduced Nancy Radzevich who was working for the Village
through an employee leasing agreement with GovTempt'SA. He stated Ms. Radzevich started
October 2, 2012, and has an extensive background in planning and community development.
Ms. Radzevich then stated she received her undergraduate in architecture with a Master's Degree
in Urban Planning from the University of Illinois and the University of Chicago. She previously
worked for the Village of Naperville from 1997 through 1999. She then went to Massachusetts
and worked for the town of Newton for 11 years. Newton is a suburb west of Boston with no
real downtown area. She was its chief planner and land -use coordinator. Newton had a Board of
24 Alderman who also sat as a subcommittee to approve zoning permits. Therefore, she has
experience working with boards and commissions.
Ms. Radzevich stated she was reviewing the Village's planning process to make it more definable
so developers and/or new businesses would know what to expect. I ler goal is to be
proactive. Ms Radzevich further stated the key is to be ready so when a new developer shows
interest they can proceed quickly. Businesses are changing all the time and the best way to
respond is to be ready. Currently she is reviewing the Unified Development Code to update it
and make it more responsive to current conditions. She is also helping to prepare a "zoning
inquiry form" to cut down on time for responses and be more efficient up front. Ms
