AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
October 11, 2016
SUBJECT: Use of Heavy Equipment Amendment
FROM: James R. Kruger Jr., Chief of Police
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board approve Ordinance G-
1087 amending Section 6-1-2 of the Village Code in relation to the use of heavy
equipment.
Background/History:
With the adoption of updated State of Illinois, National and International building and
fire codes and the subsequent amendments to Title 10 "Building Regulations" of the
Village Code also on this agenda, it is necessary to make Title 6 "Police Regulations"
consistent with pertinent amendments to Title 10. Section 6-1-2 outlines restrictions for
the use of heavy equipment and tools. Specifically, permitted times are being amended in
this ordinance, and hand tools are more fully explained. This amendment to Title 6 will
mirror Exhibit B, Section 10-1-6K: Demolition And Construction Site Management, in
Ordinance G-1084, which amends Title 10.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Village Board Approve Ordinance G-1087 amending Title 6,
"Police Regulations", Chapter 1, "Miscellaneous Offenses".
