Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting
The Board of Zoning Appeals (BOZA) is in independent agency authorized to hear appeals in matters relating to all zoning ordinances and to review zoning ordinance interpretations made by the Department of City Development. Because the Board acts somewhat like a court, it is called a quasi-judicial body and is required to follow accepted procedures and to fairly evaluate the relevant facts in each case that comes before it. The Board schedules approximately 15 hearings per year (one every three to four weeks) and hears roughly 700 cases each year. Agenda

Charting New Waters: National challenges, local solutions
Charting New Waters: A Call to Action to Address U.S. Freshwater Challenges is a groundbreaking report released by The Johnson Foundation at Wingspread and its partners on September 15, 2010, and presented to the Obama Administration at a meeting of federal agencies convened by the White House Council on Environmental Quality. This report is the culmination of an intensive two-year, diverse collaboration of leaders from business, nongovernmental organizations, agriculture, academia, government, foundations, and communities, and is believed to be the first such comprehensive, cross-sector examination of U.S. freshwater challenges and solutions. It explores the nature and breadth of these challenges, articulates potential solutions, and offers recommendations to ensure our freshwater resources are secure for the 21st century. In her presentation, Ms. Seidelman will outline this report’s findings, what lies ahead, and how this pertains to our region. SPEAKERS: Susie Seidelman, Environmental Program Associate The Johnson Foundation at Wingspread, Racine EXTRAS: See the Charting New Waters report at http://www.johnsonfdn.org/chartingnewwaters.
