AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
January 22, 2013
SUBJECT: Oak Brook Hotel, Convention & Visitors Committee
FROM: David Niemeyer, Village Manager
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Motion to approve passage of ORDINANCE 2013 -BD-
OBHCVC-G-990 An Ordinance Amending Sections 2 -5 -2A and 2 -5 -3B of the Village Code of the
Village Oak Brook Relating to the Hotel, Convention and Visitors Committee.
Background/History: Currently, the Oak Brook Hotel, Convention and Visitors Committee is
made up of ten (10) members with terms that expire every February 28a'. The committee is
consists of six (6) persons who operate or manage a hotel or motel within the Village of Oak
Brook, one (1) representative of the Oak Brook Chamber of Commerce, one (1) representative of
Oakbrook Center, and two (2) residents -at- large.
This proposal reduces the number of appointed positions to seven (7), removes the Chamber of
Commerce as a voting member of the Hotel Convention and Visitors Committee and reduces the
number of Hotel General Managers by two (2).
Since some of the Chamber's services are paid out of the Hotel Fund, we felt this created a
conflict of interest in having a vote on the Committee. Also, the Village is down two (2) Hotel
General Managers with the Renaissance and Drake Hotels no longer open.
Recommendation: Motion to approve Ordinance G -990 relating to the Hotel, Convention and
Visitors Committee.
