AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
February 9, 2010
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING AN AMENDMENT
TO TITLE 8, Section 1 -12 "USE OF PUBLIC WAYS ", OF
THE VILLAGE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS
FROM: Mike Hullihan, P.E., Village Engineer & Public Works Director
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: NA
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board approve the attached
ordinance amending Title 8 of the Village Code.
Background/History:
Title 8 section 1 -12 deals with permissible discharges to the public rights of way. It specifies the
manner of discharge that can be directed towards Village rights of ways. In order to lessen the
impact of such discharges on neighboring property owners, the proposed amendment will
stipulate that discharges be directed along and not across property lines of neighbors. This
ordinance is one section of the code that seeks to avoid damages caused by stormwater runoff.
Title 9 which regulates stormwater management in detail, and Ordinance 95 -SWM -S -811, allows
the Village to perform some remediation on private property to correct drainage problems, are
also important portions of the Village Code related to this topic.
The Village deals with 2 -5 significant drainage complaints per year. The complaints are
generally resolved by Village personnel either advising residents or providing minor construction
effort. This amendment will allow Village personnel to more closely control how residents
discharge sump and gutter drainage and hopefully reduce future complaints.
Recommendation:
I recommend that the Village Board approve the recommended changes to Title 8 of the Village
Code.

For your information, when this Ordinance was forwarded to Sterling Codifiers it was suggested by their
legal counsel to correct two errors in the text. Since this change does not the alter the intent of the Board,
it may be handled as a scrivener's error and there is no need to amend the Ordinance. Sorry for the delay
in providing this Ordinance to you and hoping it has not caused any inconvenience.
