FAIRVIEW AVENUE PZ-16-03 501 db DRIVE, COMMUNITY CENTER OLD BUSINESS An ordinance, earlier removed from the consent agenda, was presented for second reading to amend Chapter 25 of the Village Code. This ordinance would place the liability of unpaid debts to the Village (i.e. water, parking, etc.) on both the tenant and the landlord when a renter has moved from the premises. The o.rdinance was revised since its first reading to clarify language holding the property owner and tenant liable for unpaid bills. Tom Zander, 208 N. Forest Avenue, representing the Realtors Association of Northwest Chicagoland, expressed his opposition to the ordinance as presented, stating that it places too much liability on the landlord for a renter's default on debts to the Village. He asked for deferral of the ordinance to allow for more discussion. Board members discussed the ordinance, with Trustee Corcoran stating that the Village of Schaumburg requires landlords to participate in an 8-hour class covering their responsibilities as landlords. He requested staff to research this, and indicated that it might be beneficial for the Village of Mount Prospect to institute a similar requirement. He indicated that he plans to attend the Schaumburg meeting August 24. During the discussion, it was suggested that the ordinance be deferred to the Board meeting on September 2, 2003, to allow for further study. Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Lohrstorfer, moved to defer the ordinance to the September 2, 2003 meeting. Upon roll call: Ayes: Nays: Motion carried.
