OFFICIAL CONSIDERATIONS
  Mayor Wochensky spoke about letter Q from the agenda and wanted to discuss that the Chief of Police
  said that it would take a long time to get a circle installed, and said that a stop sign would be better than
  nothing. Trustee Bojanowski spoke about other options that he is aware of that could help. He said that
  he is worried about a stop sign causing traffic issues as well. Trustee Kamp wants to see what happens
  with a stop sign and in other areas, too. He agrees with Trustee Bojanowski that there should be options.
  Trustee Bojanowski said that he has concerns about the emissions from starting and stopping vehicles.
  Mayor Wochensky said that he would prefer to wait until the next meeting. Trustee Kamp would like to
  see something before the start of the school year. Police Chief Welch noted that they sent for a traffic
  study and received recommendations. The Village Board discussed the Village’s requirements to follow
  the recommendation. Police Chief Welch said that there is a safety-conscious liability there to some
  degree to follow the recommendation. Mayor Wochensky said he would like a public comment section
