IV. TRUANCY ORDINANCE
Because of a -change in State Statutes, several local
School Districts have requested that the Village consider
a local Truancy Ordinance. The law permits children
to withdraw from school at the age of 16, however., a
number of students are directed by their parents or
guardians to continue their education beyond the age
of 16 but their truancy is not covered by State Statutes.
Attached is a memo from Chief Pavlock together with
letters from School Districts 59 57 and 26. The
principals of these Districts have been invited,to attend
the meeting.
V. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT
Pursuant t -o the direction of the Mayor and Board of
Trustees, the staff has, been developing a strategy to
implement redevelop; en,t in the -Central Business District,
One of the potential financing elements to motivate
change is the u -sage, of"', Tax Increment Financing. General." MAY 81
this is a syste M whereby taxes are essentially frozen
on property as it exists before the redevelopment and the
tax increment produced by the redevelopment is used
for acquisition cost and public improvement costs that
triggered the development.
In order to use this financing m-echanism, the Mayor and
Board of Trustees must make a fil-nding that the pro -
eco
area meets the conditions of either blight and/or
conservation. Trkla., Pettigrew'Allen & Payne, (TPAP)

experience in TIF districts. Attached'ils their proposal
for performing a TIF analysis. It is broken down into
two sections: The initial analysis is $4,000 and a
project feasibility plan is $10,000. This latter 'Item
would not be initiated until the Village is satisfied
that it wants to move in this direction.
COMPLIANCE ORDINANCT
Attached is a memo from Chief Pavlock,together with an
article from the Illinois Municipal League, a memo from
Trustee Arthur and a draft Ordinance. The Ordinance
proposes that the Village implement an.administrative
fine system for minor traffic violations. The, intent of
this Ordinance is to lessen the burden on the Court
system, reduce over -time and minimize the disruptions
to citizens for minor violations. It has met with
support of the Third Municipal Court and has been
reviewed by our Village attorney.
Chief Pavlock will be available at the meeting to
discuss the matter in detail.
VII. PARKING TICKET COLLECTION PROGRAM
The final Wheel Lock Ordinance 'is scheduled for the
Village Board Agenda of May 15, 1984. It is our intention
to use the boot for scofflaws, of three or more tickets;
however., in analyzing the data, we find a number of
offenders with fewer than three outstanding tickets.
The proposal is to use a collection' agency that will call
each violator and play a customized two-way computer
telephone call to aid in the collection of outstanding
fines. This procedure is being used now. in some area
communities with a great deal of success.
Attached -is a memo from Chief Pavlock.together with a
