Big items include the sale of the Anderson Ford lot; the leasing of the 16th Street cultural center to District 98; a recommendation to keep all ward boundaries as is; and a new law that requires holiday decorations be taken down or be fined $100; and a communication on Berwyn's animal ordinance to "deny additional fowl" (whatever that means).
