COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS - CITIZENS TO BE HEARD None. ~OLD BUSINESS AMEND CH. 8: An Ordinance was presented for second reading that would amend RECALL Chapter 8 of the Village Code to include the procedures for the Recell of an elected official. It was noted that this subject was last discussed in February of this year with the second reading of the Ordinance deferred to a meeting in June. It was noted that at the time this subject was last discussed, there was a question as to whether a Recall Ordinance could be established, since no State law provided for Recall. It was also discussed that the question should appear on a bailout in order for the electors to decide whether the Village should establish the rules and regulations governing the Recell of elected officials. In order to present this question to the electors of the Village on the November, 1995 ballot, an Ordinance must be adopted at the August 15, 1995 Village Board meeting. The Village Manager asked the Board to consider what action the Board would like to take, whether to proceed with adopting a recell Page 2- June~1995 Ordinance, to direct staff to draft an Ordinance aUthorizing a referendum question to be placed on the November 7, 1995 ballot, or to draft a revised Ordinance establishing procedures if the electors supported the establishment of a Recall Ordinance. Trustee Clowes stated that he would like the Ordinance regulating Recall to include "for cause" in determining whether an official should be recalled. Trustee Clowes also stated that while the report distributed listed various states where recall is permitted, he would still like to receive the original information requested which is what constitutes grounds for recall in states that provide for recall. Trustee Corcoran stated that he did not support the '~or cause" as suggested noting that voters are not asked to qualify their vote when they originally voted for that official. He also noted that the proposed Ordinance would include several requirements, such as requiring ,,the petition calling for recall to contain signatures of at least 10% of the registered voters in the Village in order for an elected official to be considered for recall. Trustee Wilks, seconded by Trustee Corcoran, moved to authorize staff to draft an Ordinance authorizing a referendum question to be placed on the November 7, 1995 ballot and to develop the appropriate wording that should appear on the ballot and that the proposed Recall Ordinance would only apply to Village Trustees. Upon roll call: Ayes: Corcoran, Hoefert, Skowron, Wilks Nays: Clowes, Hendricks Motion carried. An Ordinance containing the rules and regulations governing recall will be drafted for Board review and if the Ordinance receives preliminary approval, the proposed Ordinance could be made available to the electors for review prior to the actual election. Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Corcoran, moved to defer the Ordinance presented for second reading in order to amend the wording and to bring the proposed Ordinance back for consideration at a future date. Upon roll cell: Ayes: Clowes, Corcoran, Hoefert, Skowron, Wilks Nays: Hendricks Motion carried. NEW BUSINESS A Resolution was presented that would amend the Resolution AMEND RES. No. 2-91 which sets forth who is eligible for a Village vehicle NO 2-91 sticker at no cost. FREE STICKER It was noted that the changes include the addition of members of the Solid Waste Commission, Economic Development Commission, Special Events CommiSsion, deletes the Recycling Commission, as well as expanding on the definition of handicapped person and anyone else specified by state statute. Page 3 - June 6, 1995 There was discussion as to the history of who was eligible for a Village sticker at no cost. Trustee Skowron, seconded by Trustee Clowes, moved to remove handicapped persons from the list of those receiving a Village vehicle sticker at no cost. Upon roll call: Ayes: Clowes, Corcoran, Skowron Nays: Hoefert, Hendricks, Wilks, Farley Motion failed. RES.NO. 16-95 Trustee Wilks, seconded by Trustee Hoefert, moved for passage of Resolution No. 16-95 A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2-91 DESIGNATING PERSONS WHO SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM PAYING FOR MOUNT PROSPECT VEHICLE STICKERS Upon roll call: Ayes: Henddcks, Hoefert, Skowron, Wilks Nays: Clowes, Corcoran MOtion carried. CLOSE CENTRAL A Resolution was presented that would request permission from the ROAD: JULY 4TH Illinois Department of Transportation to close Central Road between PARADE Northwest Highway and Busse Road in order to conduct the annual July 4th parade. RES.NO. 17-95 Trustee Skowron, seconded by Trustee Corcoran, moved for passage of Resolution No. 17-95 ~ A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE CLOSURE OF a STATE ROADWAY FOR THE PURPOSE Of ~I CONDUCTING THE ANNUAL JULY 4TH PARADE Upon roll call: AYes: Clowes, Corcoran, Hendricks, Hoefert, Skowron, Wilks ~ Nays: None Motion carried. JURISDICTIONAL The subject of the Village policy on State or County jurisdictional TRANSFER transfer of roadways was brought up for discussion. POLICY It was noted that in several instances, the State and/or County has agreed to perform specific roadway improvements under the condition that the Village accept the jurisdictional transfer of that road. The most recent incident is Camp McDonald Road, noting that the road would be improved with a 3-lane roadway if the Village would accept the juriSdictional transfer, but without the transfer, the 2-lane existing roadway would be improved, it was noted that there is a resident abutting Camp McDonald Road that would like to see the 3-lane improvement, however, it does not appear that the other residents in that area would concur with the widening of the rOadway~ , Page 4 -June6,1995 It was noted that the advantages to the Village to accept the jurisdictional transfers would be that the Village could establish traffic control regulations, curb cuts could be determined by the Village, more control over what utilities could use roadways for easements and where easements would be located, and the fact that the State or County would improve the roadway prior to turning over jurisdiction to the Village. The disadvantage would be the cost of future improvements. It was noted that the State and/or County does retain ownership of the roadways and when the Village accepts the responsibility of maintenance, IDOT does reimburse the Village with an estimated $52,000 per year. It was noted that the other agencies do receive tax dollars for roadways, however, when the jurisdiction is transferred to ~ municipalities, the municipality does not receive those funds. Mayor Farley stated that as a member of the Transportation Committee of the Northwest Municipal Conference he would ask the Conference to review this subject and possibly propose changes to this policy. The consensus of opinion was that the Village would not embrace jurisdictional transfers as a general practica, however, transfers would be considered on a case to case basis.
