COD Heads to Court Before Monday Night County Hearing

A DuPage County Judge will rule on the college's recent motion that seeks to keep village officials silent during county hearings.

Before Monday night's DuPage County zoning board of appeals meeting -- where the is seeking approval for a -- a judge will decide if Glen Ellyn village officials can testify during these hearings. 

Last week, COD attorneys asking Judge Hollis Webster to "enforce" the mediation agreement, which ended the lengthy litigation between the village and college. In the agreement, the village relinquished regulatory control, and DuPage County assumed responsibility for regulating permitting, construction and inspections on COD's campus.

The latest motion states village officials are "overzealous advocates" by testifying at county hearings. Attorneys are seeking to keep village officials silent at these meetings after Staci Hulseberg, planning and development director, voiced her concerns about COD's expansion plan at a May 10 hearing, along with trustee Pete Ladesic.

It's expected that Webster will return a decision on COD's motion during Monday's 9 a.m. hearing at the DuPage County Courthouse.

I think they should make it so there is not any area of the county that is knownas "Unincorporated", just like what Cook County did. Even wqhen there were areas of Cook County that were noted as "unincorporated", those areas still did everything with the county as if they were truely incorporated. These areas of "Unincorporated DuPage County" do everything with the county accept some of the students cannot attend COD State (College of DuPage) as a resident, all since their local school district is the largest subarban public school district in the country. That school district is fighting for the state to note them as being in Cook county even though they do not have any students that reisde in the county, and their main office is in kane County.
