    of Kendall’s
    interest
    in protecting
    the
    public

    as
    the
    supplier
    of
    portable
    water
    to

    at
    Hearing
    regarding

    CONCLUSION
    That

    contends
    that it
    has a
    duty to

    welfare
    of
    their

    within
    their

    Area
    outside
    of the

    Village

    may
    be

    Decision,

    Minooka’s
    Request
    for
    Leave
    to

    and
    would
    cause
    no
    undo
    delay
    nor
    prejudice
    the
    proceeding
    should the
    Board
    grant
    the
    Village
    of
    Minooka’s
    Petition
    to
