SUBJECT: DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference 2007 Legislative Positions
FROM: Richard B. Boehm Village Manager !�

BUDGET SOURCE /BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to approve the attached Resolution Adopting the
2007 Legislative Positions of the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference.
Background/History:
The Village has in the past adopted the legislative positions of the DuPage Mayors and Managers
Conference and the Illinois Municipal League (as expressed in their respective legislative
programs and in other legislative positions taken in the course of the legislative session) as
Village policy through adoption of formal resolutions to that effect.
The motivation for this step was to provide guidance and clarity in those instances when
professional municipal employee associations, (e.g., fire chiefs, police chiefs, public works) to
which our Department Directors belong, adopt positions on legislation that are contrary to the
positions taken by the municipal associations (e.g., DMMC and IML) to which their employer
belongs. Although not a frequent occurrence, these situations do arise from time to time.
Additionally, by adopting these positions, our area Legislators have knowledge as to where Oak
Brook stands on these matters.
Recommendation:
In order to provide appropriate guidance to our Legislators and Village staff, I encourage the
Board to adopt the legislative positions expressed by the DuPage Mayors and Managers
Conference in its 2007 Legislative Action Program (LAP) and during the session via the attached
resolution.
