DATE: December 6, 1995
TO: Village President and Board of Trustees
SUBJECT: Resolution in Support of Drafting an unfunded Mandates Constitutional
Amendment
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board adopt the attached resolution in favor of
drafting an unfunded mandates constitutional amendment.
As the Board knows,the Illinois Municipal League has made passage of a constitutional amendment
that would require a "super-majority" of the General Assembly to pass an unfunded mandate on
local government its single top priority for 1996• It has requested the support of all municipalities
in the state, as well as of the various regional municipal conferences and associations.
The Village Board has also determined, as one of our 1996 objectives, to work directly and through
the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference and the Municipal League to reduce or eliminate
unfunded mandates.
Therefore, it is my recommendation that the Board adopt the attached resolution, in the form
requested by the Municipal League, urging the General Assembly to draft a suitable constitutional
amendment for submission to the voters.

and wishes to do so in conjunction with its newly developed
Stormwater methodology.
DuPage County recently approved Resolution SM-0032-95 which
requests FEMA and IOWR to accept the flood plain maps as
generated using the County methodology. President Bushy,who is a
member of the County Stormwater Committee,has asked that the
Village consider a similar resolution.
George Mueller,3113 Meyers Road,stated to the Village Board that
there are substantiated errors in the DuPage County Flood Plain Maps
for regulation and flood insurance purposes. Mr. Mueller will
forward this information to Village Engineer Durfey and Village
E President Bushy. President Bushy,as a member of the Stormwater
i
Management Committee,will present this information to its members.
Trustee Shumate inquired what affect this adoption of the proposed
resolution will have on the Village. Trustee Payovich explained that
new watershed information will change some properties--vithin the
Village to be added or removed from the flood plain. This resolution
will correct the inadequacies of these maps. The improvements in the
maps had been delayed due to the County's stormwater methodology.
President Bushy suggested the DuPage Department of Environmental
Concerns has produced maps that supersede any other maps for
accuracy.
Motion by Trustee Payovich,seconded by Trustee McInerney,to
adopt Resolution 95-SWM-F-R-665,"Village of Oak Brook Request
that the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Department of
