A RESOLUTION IN OPPOSITION TO LEGISLATION RELATIVE
TO MUNICIPAL CABLE FRANCHISING AUTHORITY
WHEREAS, the General Assembly of the State of Illinois has recently introduced legislation which
would shift municipal cable franchising authority to the Illinois Commerce Commission; and
WHEREAS, the passage of this legislation, entitled House Bill 1500, in addition to taking franchise
authority out of the control of the Village of Oak Brook, also makes cuts to transmission of community
programming and Public, Education and Government (PEG) funding and fails to require service to all
residents, and
WHEREAS, the Village President and Board of Trustees find that the interests of the Village of
Oak Brook would not be best served by passage of House Bill 1500
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of
Oak Brook, DuPage and Cook Counties, Illinois, as follows:
Section 1. That the Village President and Board of Trustees for the Village of Oak Brook hereby
express their collective opposition to the passage of House Bill 1500, proposed by the General Assembly
of the State of Illinois, which takes control of cable franchising away from the local municipalities
Section 2 All resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict with this resolution are hereby repealed
to the extent of the conflict.
Section 3 This resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage, approval
and publication as required by law
APPROVED THIS 13th day of March, 2007.
