XIII. First Reading
C. ORD 20-090 First Reading of an Ordinance Establishing the Annual Building and
Construction Permit Fees and the Zoning Application Fees of the Village of
Oak Park
Village Manager Pavlicek informed the Village Board the practice of bringing
forward to the Village Board proposed changes in fees annually. Director of
Development Customer Services Tammie Grossman provided an explanation
regarding a decrease in permit fees due to a healthy construction climate. The
FY2021 projected revenue from permits is $1.4M, FY2020 was $1.1M. An
increase in permit applications shares the cost of processing to more
applicants resulting in a decrease in permit processing fees.
D. ORD 20-096 First Reading of An Ordinance Amending Chapter 20 (“Public Health”),
Article 7 (“Garbage, Weeds and Littering”) of the Oak Park Village Code
Regarding Rates for Garbage, Refuse, Yard Waste and Recyclable Materials
Collection Services
Public Works Director John Wielebnicki informed the Village Board that the
Waste Management contract is due to expire in FY2021. Fees presented will
cover costs. He expects to bring forward a contract in the first quarter of 2021.
Mr. Wielebnicki provided a brief update on the incentive for composting
program. He hopes to continue proposing the first three months free as an
incentive.
Public Comment
Carl Roode: Carl provided a comment urging the Village Board to consider 2
sizes of trash containers in advance of renewing the contract with Waste
Management so that households who do not require q 64 gallon container have
an option that better suites their needs and space limitations.
Village Trustee Boutet shared the spirit of Mr. Roode's comment with regard to
composting and suggested a neighbor sharing program. Mr. Wielebnicki
responded that a sharing program is already encouraged. He can look into
additional sizes for composting but the current size does permit adding yard
waste. The fee is driven more from the cost of collection (tipping fee) than the
size of the container. Village Trustee Boutet requested a report on the
efficiency of recycling in general as part of presenting a future Waste
Management contract.

subsidy relief needs to come from the State, public safety is still a priority. He
does believe that the VIllage can send a message of "Open for Business", and
he expects staff to bring forward a proposal on how that can be done, but the
greatest responsibility from his perspective is on the State.
