Sample ordinances creating a municipal communications utility were presented and discussed.  President Styza stated that he felt that the most basic ordinance would be the best option.  Trustee Villavicencio stated that she felt that costs related to providing service through a utility should be assessed to the users rather than all Village taxpayers.  President Styza stated that he felt the Village should move forward to have the ordinance in place should it be necessary to create a utility and to address additional issues at that time.  MOTION made by Wrocklage, seconded by Seidel to move forward with creation of an ordinance similar to “Sample 1”.  Motion carried.
