COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SUB -COMMITTEE MEETING
Monday, May 23, 1996
6:30 P.M.
Committee members present at the meeting were Michaele Skowron, Paul Hoefert, Nancy
Bobikewicz, Beverly Carr, and Raymond Rubio. Also present was William Cooney, staff liaison
for the sub -committee.
The Committee met to discuss the summary minutes from the May 13 meeting which outlined their
recommendation. There was general concurrence that these minutes accurately reflected their
proposal. Trustee Skowron asked Mr. Cooney if he was able to secure the criteria for standard sizes
of ladder racks. Mr. Cooney stated that he was still in the process of compiling that information and
would make it available for the Village Board meeting.
Ms. Bobikewicz asked the Committee how lights on top of vehicles should be addressed. After
much discussion, it was determined that the other criteria that had been established would adequately
address any types of vehicles that may have lights on top of their vehicle. Ms. Bobikewicz also
stated that she felt the Committee needed to define commercial vehicles to establish a baseline that
could be enforced. Mr. Cooney indicated that it was staffs intent to utilize the definition initially
submitted as the baseline. This definition was as follows:
"Commercial vehicles may include but shall not necessarily be restricted to any vehicle
carrying work equipment such as ladders, snowplows, hand or mechanical tools, or
machinery on the outside of the vehicle; any vehicle containing a name, logo, or any other
signage for any business enterprise visible from the outside of the vehicle; any vehicle
used for public transportation purposes capable of carrying more than seven (7) persons
excluding vehicles used as commuter vans as defined by the Illinois Motor Vehicle Code;
and any commercial vehicle as defined by the Illinois Motor Vehicle Code."
The Committee concurred that this would be an acceptable definition for commercial vehicles.
The Committee discussed how their recommendation would be presented at the meeting. It was
agreed that Trustee Skowron should be the spokesperson for the Committee. It was also
recommended that the Committee attempt to get other residents to attend the meeting to support the
recommendation.
The meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m.
