Mr,.Fotney, Village Manager, and referred to the Village Attorney and
to Council for review and .opinion. The Covenant is a promise and must
run with the land.

tant to sign the Covenant, fearing the makeup of the Board 5-10 years
down the road.

taken over, is because this Board has been an active Board, and further,
there.has been no pressure from developers.
