R-910 - 06/14/2005 - BOARD - Resolutions Supporting Documents7. 6. L.
Trustee Kennedy offered that he had no problem with the language and it is sufficiently
broad and it does provide in Section 2. B that the task force has the power to recommend
to the Board of Trustees those actions and programs that will serve to carry out the
purpose of the task force which is broadly defined as redevelopment of the Village both in
terms of business and residential redevelopment.
Trustee Aktipis then asked if all of the members of the committee were voting members
or not. Trustee Kennedy indicated that the Village President, Plan Commission
Chairman, Zoning Board of Appeals Chairman and Trustee Liaison Sanford to Zoning
and Trustee Liaison Kennedy to Planning and Community Development Director Robert
Kallien are the Committee members. President Quinlan explained that the group
recommends to the Board of Trustees.
Trustee Manofsky also indicated at the Committee -of -the -Whole meeting that President
Quinlan stated that only those persons who are elected officials or appointed officials
should have the right to vote.
Trustee Sanford further explained that the Committee would recommend changes and
then from those recommendations the Board of Trustees would make the determination as
to what is to be included and what priorities should be assigned.

Establishing a Task force for the Purpose of Reviewing Potential Business and Residential

L. A Resolution Establishing a Task force for the Purpose of Reviewing Potential
Business and Residential Development and Redevelopment Projects
Trustee Aktipis stated that this ordinance is a result of a substantial discussion at a
Committee -of -the -Whole meeting in which the whole issue was the future development of
the Village of Oak Brook. He asked for clarification in the Resolution that the only
purpose of the task force is to be simply involved in communication among the Village
businesses and other agencies.
President Quinlan explained that the objective of the task force is to begin gathering
information that is necessary for the Board to form a long -term plan for the overall
development of the Village of Oak Brook as it was voted on unanimously by the Board of
Trustees.
Trustee Aktipis suggested that there was a great deal of discussion on this subject that is
not reflected in the Resolution. He indicated that at some point in the discussion,
President Quinlan made the comment that the Board should create a task force, committee
or whatever they wanted to call it. He would like to give that group the questions that
need to be answered. Later towards the end of that meeting, President Quinlan indicated
that the charge of the task force was that there is too much vacancy in Oak Brook, why
does it exist and how does the Village fix it. He suggested at that time that he would like
to see the statement broader to include the whole issue of where the Village wanted to go
in terms of economic development, real estate development and how residents would be
put into those two issues. He further requested that he would like to see the group work
with a number of panels that involve both commercial interests as well as representatives
of residents in beginning to deal with the possible options and the possibilities the Village
has now. He noted that Trustee Sanford responded that he agreed that it should not be too
narrow but felt that in the beginning it was fairly narrow and by its own inquiries that it
would widen out.
Trustee Aktipis again reiterated that there was quite a bit more discussion as to what the
committee was going to accomplish and what he sees in the ordinance is a much more
limited function.
President Quinlan asked if any other Board member had difficulty with how the
Resolution is written or with the understanding on what the Board is due to be
accomplished. If not, he requested a motion for approval as presented.
