Campton Hills board adopts amended organization chart and authorizes legal second opinion

Campton Hills — The Village Board voted Feb. 3 to adopt a revised organizational chart that removes a direct reporting line from the village clerk to the administrator and to authorize a limited legal review to confirm the chart does not require a change in form of government.

Trustee Michael O'Dwyer proposed the change and said the chart is intended as a communication tool for staff and residents. He also asked staff to seek a second legal opinion on whether the amended chart alters the village's statutory form of government; the board authorized up to $2,500 for that opinion.

Several trustees said they liked the original chart's clarity but expressed willingness to adopt the amended version while confirming its legal consequences. Trustee Janet urged the board to keep committees' advisory role clear and asked that committee chairs maintain regular contact with the full board.

The motion to adopt the chart, remove the clerk-to-administrator line, and authorize the legal opinion passed by roll call. The board directed staff to solicit cost estimates from multiple firms and to circulate any final opinion before the next meeting.
