Mayor Spurns Resign Request Over Building Permit Dispute
Mayor Robert Bosch faced pressure from Alderman John Hilton to resign after Hilton threatened a charge under city building permit rules. The conflict centers on a house in Amy's subdivision on Roscoe Avenue, where a permit was issued after the mayor allegedly claimed authority, with Meyer the contractor and Normoyle the city engineer involved. Audacious maneuvering led to cited enforcement actions and mixed votes as the council debated bonds for curb and gutter work and subdivision regulation.
