Questionable constitutionality of Grundy School site ordinance
Assistant State's Atty. John V. Hanson told the Grundy County Planning Commission he has serious reservations about the proposed land dedication ordinance for school sites. He explained the key issue is whether the measure is a valid exercise of police power or an unconstitutional taking requiring compensation. Hanson noted similar cases, cited the Naperville and Mount Prospect decisions, and suggested revisions. Representatives from Rempe-Sharpe and Associates proposed a Department of Public Works to implement a county sewer plan, while planning consultants submitted HUD letters on interagency cooperation and minority hiring compliance.
