Other Business
Copies of the draft report#2 are passed out, with the intention of discussing and approving report
regarding the impact of economic development on Oak Brook schools, per the request in the
formation resolution. The scope of the report includes any effect the Hines and, Butler
developments may have on Oak Brook school districts. Discussion continued regarding the number
of school age children who potentially could live in the rental units in the Hines project. The
condominiums will be targeted to single people and empty nesters without school age children. The
rental units are to be high-end luxury units with substantial amenities that will demand high rent
and will be marketed to the same demographic. Though this could include school age children,the
committee believes the numbers will be inconsequential; however,the actual number is unknown.
Al Koren motioned to approve the draft report, seconded by Don Adler. Voice vote. Motion
Carried.

Don Adler when through the interim Long Term Strategic Planning Advisory Committee report to
be presented to the board at the COW meeting on September 24, 2019. Conversation started
regarding Sports Core and its unsustainability. Don continued to present the revenue scenarios from
the report that were prepared by Jason Paprocki. It was explained that this interim report is stating
facts and figures the final report will included recommendations. Falling housing prices are touched
upon. Conversation circles back to pension debt and the Westmont model. Is the Sports Core an
incentive to move to Oak Brook? Discussion again goes back to pension funding and debt—can the
Village arbitrate? Or file litigation? Outsourcing may be an option for Village services. It was
asked whether the Village could raise taxes—food and beverage, entertainment, addition to the
infrastructure taxes? Conversation continued regarding daytime population versus night time
population regarding police and fire staffing, recommending that the Village Board take this
seriously when negotiating contracts. They spoke of the need for a business registration or license.
Conversation came back to preparation for the presentation of the report to the board. Discussions
regarding seceding from Oak Brook and becoming unincorporated DuPage County. Conversation
shifted to logistics for presenting the report to the board and what to expect at the meeting.
