AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
July 12, 2011
SUBJECT: Lobbyist Contract
FROM: David Niemeyer, Village Manager
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
MOTION: N/A
Background/History:
Trustee Manzo and Trustee Moy were assigned to work with me to determine whether the
lobbyist contract should be extended. As you may remember, the lobbyist contract was extended
60 days until July 22, 2011 at the May 24 board meeting
The recommendation is to not extend the contract past July 22, 2011. We should continue to
assess whether we would need a lobbyist on a per project basis. Staff would bring to the Board's
attention situations where it is believed the Village would need a lobbyist's help to further an
important issue, such as the Costco traffic signal issue.
Since the contract is not being recommended for extension, no motion is necessary.
Recommendation:
Do not extend lobbyist contract past July 22, 2011

AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
May 24, 2011
SUBJECT: Lobbyist Contract
FROM: David Niemeyer, Village Manager
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: Approximately $10,000 /General Fund
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Background/History:
Our contract with lobbyists Thomson and Molaro expires on May 26, 2011. President Lalmalani
has asked two trustees, Trustees Moy and Manzo, to review whether we need a lobbyist or not. If
it is determined we do, the question would be whether we renew the current contract, ask our
lobbyists to reduce the cost of their current contract, change the contract to one that is on a per
project basis, or go out for proposals for new lobbyists.
Recommendation:
In the meantime, with all of the activity in Springfield that potentially affects Oak Brook and
other municipalities, I would recommend the board extend this contract to July 12, 2011, which
is the first board meeting in July.
