    Wood

    a municipality located in Madison County,
    Illinois.
    Petitioner has requested a public hearing in this matter.
    On November 18,

    publication showing that notice of the adjusted standard was
    published in the Alton Telegraph on November 4,
    1994.
    Accordingly, this matter shall proceed to hearing.
    This is a type of case for which the Act prescribes no
    deadline for decision, although as noted the Act requires the
    petitioner to timely pursue disposition of the petition.
    Therefore, hearing must be scheduled and completed in a timely
    manner, consistent with Board practices and

    hearing officer to conduct hearings consistent with this order
    and the Clerk of the Board shall promptly issue appropriate
    directions to that hearing officer.
    The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the
    Board of the time and location of the hearing at least 40 days in
    advance of hearing so that public notice of hearing may be
    published.
    After hearing, the hearing officer shall submit an
    exhibit list,
    a statement regarding credibility of witnesses and
    all actual exhibits to the Board within five days of the hearing.
    Any briefing schedule shall provide for final filings as
    expeditiously as possible.
    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the
    parties fail to provide an acceptable hearing date or if after an
    attempt the hearing officer is unable to consult with the
    parties, the hearing officer shall unilaterally set a hearing
    date in conformance with the schedule above.
    The hearing officer
    and the parties are encouraged to expedite this proceeding as
    much as possible.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
