    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
    On February 9, 1998, the Town of Cicero (Cicero) filed a motion for reconsideration
    asking that the Board reconsider its January 8, 1998, order denying Cicero’s motion to strike
    and dismiss. On February 23, 1998, the complainant filed a response opposing the motion to
    reconsider.
    In ruling upon a motion for reconsideration, the Board is to consider factors including,
    but not limited to, error in the previous decision and facts in the record which are overlooked.
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.246(d). In Citizens Against Regional Landfill v. County Board of
    Whiteside County (March 11, 1993), PCB 93-156, the Board noted that “[t]he intended
    purpose of a motion for reconsideration is to bring to the court’s attention newly-discovered
    evidence which was not available at the time of the hearing, changes in the law, or errors in
    the court’s previous application of the existing law.” Korogluyan v. Chicago Title & Trust
    Co., 213 Ill. App.3d 622, 572 N.E.2d 1154 (1st Dist. 1992).
    The motion to reconsider is denied. The Board finds nothing in the motion that
    persuades the Board that the decision of January 8, 1998, was in error, or that facts were
    overlooked.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
