area at his location was not big enough, and that he would have made it bigger
if the Village had not required the amount of parking which was constructed. Mr. Sterling expressed the need to have the
product displayed out in front of the store as a point of sale, and the product
was only displayed on a seasonable basis.

discussion to date. Trustee Schilz
expressed support for the clarification in definitions and establishing a
formal review process for loan offices.
Mr. Dineen indicated that Governor Doyle recently vetoed regulations on
payday lending stores, stating in part that the proposed legislation was among
the weakest in the country and stronger regulatory changes are needed. Mr. Dineen indicated that that proposed

these types of businesses within the community.

recent ICC meeting.

by Trustee Krueger and seconded by Trustee Kundinger to approve
Ordinance No. 04-, “An Ordinance to Repeal and Recreate, Repeal, Amend and
