The Orland Park Police Department has crucial public safety (i.e. radio communication system) equipment installed on Village of Orland Park Property that is above ground and essential to police operations. Private sector companies often place equipment on the same village owned locations as the Police Department. This enacted ordinance will assist in ensuring that public safety equipment continues to operate without interference or obstruction. Mayor Pekau made comments.

Staff seeks to increase participation in this program by utilizing both Centennial Park and John Humphrey complex homerun fences instead of the scoreboards. This would provide more visibility for sponsor banners. Additionally, staff is evaluating sponsorship rates, including potentially lowering the fee to a more affordable cost to Orland Park businesses. The cost to produce a 4' x 8' banner is $125. The lower cost and the move to outfield fences at Centennial Park may create a more commercial appearance of fields as compared to the past. Trustee Dodge made comments and asked a question.

One such program is conducting Remove Virtual Inspections (RVI). The International Code Council (ICC) has provided guidance on RVI and set a template for municipalities to follow. RVI is a method of inspection that allows the needed inspections to proceed in a timely manner by the owner or contractor located on the jobsite and the inspector or inspection teams performing the inspection remotely. Examples of jurisdictions utilizing RVI include but are not limited to: Algonquin, IL - Allows as option for certain inspections Arlington, VA - Allows as option for all inspections, with Building Official approval San Bernardino County - Allows for certain inspections, with Building Official approval Naperville, IL - Allows for certain inspections, with Building Official approval The proposed guidelines for RVI are attached to the Committee packet to this document and as summarized below: All RVI requests must be scheduled at least 2 business days prior to the requested date. The owner/contractor will have the ability to select the RVI as an option. Village of Orland Park Building Official will determine if the request is eligible for RVI and contact the applicant. The inspector(s) involved with the inspection will determine the appropriate timing with the contractor and schedule an agreed upon time for the virtual inspection. The jobsite must have high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity or minimum 4G cellular service with a strong signal. The contractor/owner must have a device capable of completing the inspection (smartphone/tablet) If at any point the inspector believes that the remote inspection process is not allowing them to properly assess compliance, they may require that a site inspection be required at a future date at the sole discretion of the inspector/Building Official. The following inspection types can be conducted via RVI: Residential A/C Final Residential Alarm System Residential Driveway Final Residential Fence Final VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK Page 5 of 8 Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes February 1, 2021 Residential Fire Pit Residential Patio Final Residential Paver Base Final Residential Pergola Final Residential Retaining Wall Final Residential Demolition of Accessory Structures Commercial Lawn Sprinkler Sewer/Water Service Repair Residential Shed Final Residential Sidewalk Final Residential Siding Final Residential Solar Panel Final Residential Hot Tub/Spa Final Residential Stoop Final Commercial Roof Final Residential Roof Final Residential Windows/Doors Final The inspection will be scheduled online or in-person, the same process in place for current inspections. In anticipation of this program, the Village conducted sample RVIs. A similar learning curve is anticipated for this program. Based on discussions with other jurisdictions, RVI can work to accommodate certain inspection types however, it does have some limitations. The time an inspection takes could be significantly increased because there are additional steps necessary to verify the location is accurate and other details. In addition, it will take time for inspectors to adjust to this type of inspection procedure. Based on staff research, RVI can be used as requested by a homeowner for less complicated inspections, where accuracy can be maintained. In order to ensure accuracy, more complex inspections may not be appropriate for virtual inspection at this time. RVI can assist in offering alternatives for building permit inspection for those that are weary of an in-person inspection. Staff is looking for direction to implement a RVI program as outlined in the above and attached to the Committee packet. The discussion and recommendation will be forwarded to the Village Board for approval. Director of Development Services Ed Lelo presented the item.
