Amend Chapt 17 'In Chapter 17 of the Mount Prospect Code, Section 17.106 requires
Vehicle license new residents to obtain their vehicle license within 24 hours.
for new residents This is an impractical and burdensome time limit, and the Judiciary
from 24 hours to COmmittee was of the opinion that 30 days would be more realistic
30 days and fair.
Also, a realistic an~ firm due date for the display of the vehicle
license (sticker) should be progided so as to avoid an arbitrary
due date enforcement not well known by the citizens. By custom,
February 15 is the most commonly used due date for display of
automobile licenses in Illinois; The Judi6iary Committee, by a
vote of 3-0, recommends amending Section 17.106 to substitute 3~
days for the 24 hour limitation, and recommends establishing by
ordinance a due date of February 15 for the display of the Village
vehicle license.
Trustee Teichert, seconded by Trustee ColloP, moved the Board
concur in the recommendation amending Section 17.106 to substitute
30 days for 24-hour limitation. Unanimous.
Trustee Teichert, seconded by Trustee Coifer, moved to concur with
the Judiciary Committee recommendation to establish an ordinance
making the due date February 15 for the display of the Village
vehicle license. Unanimous.
Trustee Teichert gave first reading of amending ordinance for
Section Section 17.106 and 17.107 of the Municipal Code and requested
it be placed on the following agenda for second and final reading.
Approved.
