Background:
Natural disasters, disease epidemics,, or any type of emergency may necessitate a municipality to declare a state of
emergency. Pursuant to Section 11-1-6 and 8-10-5 of the Illinois Municipal Code, the State has legislated to
municipalities additional authority in order to respond to an emergency. Ordinance No. 6509, authorizing the Village
President to declare a state of emergency should the need arise., was approved by the Village Board on March 17,
2020; Declaration No. 2020-1 was executed on March 17, 2020.
This second ordinance continues to establish the standards to be relied upon for the Mayor to determine when a statK,-;
of emergency exists. It also provides Village leadership operational flexibility during a state of emergency to respond
to the emergency when otherwise policies and procedures for conducting normal business could hinder community
response.
1. That the emergency, natural disaster,, and other public health emergencies will likely cause damage, injury
hardship or etc. to the community and is imminent or has occurred.
2. The emergency is severe enough to require the declaration of emergency in order to supplement local
resources in preventing darnage,, injury, hardship or etc. including the identification of any applicable
procedures,, rules or regulations that will be waived or suspended, during the emergency.
During a state of emergency, the Mayor would be granted the extraordinary power and authority to exercise the
powers of the Village Board as may be reasonably necessary to respond to the emergency. In addition,, the Village
Manager or designees may let contracts to the extent necessary to resolve such emergency without public
advertisement.
COVID-19 Im•
The Village has 252 cumulative cases of COVID-19 and two residents have died as a result of the virus (see attached
table). The Village organization has been in Phase 2 of the Continuity of Operations Plan. This phase closes Village
buildings to the public, but allows for operations to continue in all departments by leveraging technology to serve
customers. This phase will continue through the Governor's stay at home order. The pandernic will have a significant
impact on revenues that the Village received from State Sales Tax., Income Tax, Use Tax,, Motor Fuel Tax, as well as
locally imposed taxes and fees. It is estimated that the Village will lose $5-60M in revenues in 2020. The Village has
embraced a 5 -step contingency plan in the case of a severe economic crisis. Staff has identified $7.OM in expenses
that can be delayed or deferred this year. Due to physical distancing mandates that will likely continue into the
summer months, several special events are being canceled throughout the region. The following events have or
should be canceled for this year:
