Stephan - What you suggest would require common sense.... a trait that is LOST on all current board members, the mayor, and a large majority of us regular people.
Nepotism and stalemates are what the village strives for... nothing more.

In seriousness.... your solution is the only one that makes a BIT of sense. No matter how impartial a building inspector can be, friendship and community neighbors are a hard thing to overlook. This wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if life safety wasn't the issue.

How about this, someone makes a motion to waive the residency requirement. It is passed, problem solved.

Yes, but someone would say they needed legal advice to ensure that that was proper and could actually be done, and that until the Supreme Court had ruled, the village couldn't make a move.
Check, and mate.

We encourage the members of the village board to introduce the motion at the next board meeting and see what happens. The proof of the pudding and all that....
