Powers, Finance Officer SUBJECT: State of Illinois - Revenue Sources for Non-Home Rule Communities The following information is given to you for purposes of information on those specific taxes a non-home rule community such as Oak Brook may institute. There are, however, various restrictions and limitations placed upon the municipality and their use. These limitations will also be specified where applicable. The State has also adopted a tax cap of 5% or the cost of living increase, whichever is lower, which also affects the property tax items. The following taxes are those which we believe may have major impacts to the Village of Oak Brook. There are numerous other relatively minor tax rates which we will not indicate at this time. However, if you would like some additional data on these various items, please let us know. I Please note that when looking at the material to determine the revenue the Village may receive, the tax rate is multiplied by the community's equalized assessed valuation (EAV) . In the examples below, please note that we are using our 1991 equalized assessed valuation figures ($806,397,000) ; each year they may change. 1. Corporate Fund Operating Levy: (Corporate Fund Operations) a. $.25 per $100 EAV x 806,397,000 = $2,015,993 b. can be increased to $.4375 by referendum: $.4375 x 806,397,000 = $3,527,987 2. Street & Bridge: (Street and Bridge Expenses) a. $.06 (but may be increased to $.10 by 3/4 vote of Board of Trustees) $.06 x 806,397,000 = $483,838 b. $.10 x 806,397,000 = $806,397 3. Police Protection Tax: (Police Service) a. $.075 x 806,397,000 = $604,798 b. may be increased to $.40 with referendum $.40 x 806,397,000 = $3,225,588 4. Fire Protection Tax: (Fire Service) a. $.075 x 806,397,000 = $604,798 b. may be increased to $.40 with referendum $.40 x 806,397,000 = $3,225,588 5. General Liability Insurance for the Community: No rate limit. Please note that we are estimating the 1992/93 general corporate liability expenses at approximately $295,000 6. Police Pension: (Employer Costs for Police Pensions) No rate limit. Our proposed 1992/93 budget reflects Village contributions in the amount of approximately $287,600 7. Fire Pension: (Employer Costs for Fire Pensions) No rate limit. The proposed 1992/93 budget estimates Village contributions of approximately $251,000 8. IMRF: (Employer Retirement Costs for all other Village Employees) No rate limit, however the Village of Oak Brook had placed in its proposed 1991/92 an amount of approximately $202,845 for Village Corporate Fund contributions. 9. Garbage Disposal: (For garbage disposal, collection or plant operations) a. $.20 per $100 EAV x $806,397,000 = $1,612,794 II The following additional minor taxes are some which a non-home rule community such as the Village of Oak Brook may impose. Again, these are not the only ones the Village may use, but gives a sample of same: 1. Audit Tax: (Only used for paying the Corporate Fund Audit Costs) No rate limit, however, the proposed 1992/93 Corporate budget includes an amount of approximately $7200 for said fund's share of the expenses. 2. Street Lighting: (Street Lighting Needs Only) The Village may impose a .05% tax if approved by 2/3 vote of the Board of Trustees. .05 x our assessed valuation would produce approximately $403,199 per year. 3. Ambulance Service Tax: (Providing Village Ambulance Service) $.25 per $100 of assessed valuation - this can only be used if approved by a referendum. �,y $.25 x gQ ,V7,00offi`� �r y 4 d 2 4. Unemployment Insurance Tax: /(q2 aid from current (No Rate Limit) -,,,Budget incorporates $4275 for same, p Corporate Fund sources. 5. Workmens Compensation Tax: No tax limitation. The Village of Oak Brook has placed approximately $4685 in the Corporate Fund for same in our - 1991/92 budget._ �. 6. Social Security Tax: No rate limit. In our Gorper`4.4e 1991/92. budget we have Flace8 approximately $168,546 for said item Please note that property taxes require the Board to pass the tax levy in one year and then wait for the next year to receive said taxes. The procedure may be longer if there is a referendum involved. Please be reminded of the State's new TAX CAP requirement. III In addition to the taxes indicated above, the Village of Oak Brook has authorization by the State of Illinois to impose the following additional tax: 1. Utility Tax: The Village of Oak Brook, as a non-home rule community has the legal authority to approve a utility tax simply by passing an ordinance. The rate limitation is 5% for gas, water, electric, and IBT. Based upon information received from Northern Illinois Gas, Commonwealth Edison, and Illinois Bell, the Village of Oak Brook can estimate $490,000 per each 1% of utility tax. As you know, we have suggested a 5% Commonwealth Edison, 5% NIGas, and 4% IBT Utility Tax Rate for FY 92/93. We estimate receipts of $2,240,256 for 11 months. 2. Vehicle Tags: The Village has the authority to institute a Vehicle Tag requirement. There is no dollar limit for a tag which I know of at this time. Most communities charge a rate of between $10 to $25 per vehicle per year, however, many are now categorizing passenger and commercial vehicles and establishing different ranges. If Oak Brook had 9000 vehicles and charged $20 per vehicle, we would expect to receive $180,000. Please note that there are many expenses associated with this revenue source. This revenue source could take 3-6 months to implement. This information is being furnished to you to aid you in understanding the possible revenue sources that are available to the Village of Oak Brook. If you have any questions regarding this information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We have analyzed the village's Long Range Financial Plan and the potential revenue shortfalls in the General corporate Fund. since the revenue sources are severely limited, and since the Board's options are narrowing in terms of how municipal services are to be provided, we are recommending that the Board put the question of Home Rule status before the electorate on the November ballot. There are several significant advantages to operating under Home Rule powers. Following are those that we feel would most benefit the village of Oak Brook. Home Rule Sales Tax On January 1, 1990, the Illinois General Assembly passed the Home Rule Municipal Retailers' occupation Tax Act and the Municipal service Occupation Tax Act. These acts permit home rule communities to impose an additional sales tax in 1/4% increments which will be collected by the Illinois Department of Revenue along with the sales taxes already in place. since the village of oak Brook derives its largest share of revenue from the 1% sales tax currently in effect, and funds the bulk of municipal services from this revenue source, any incremental increase in the sales tax would help to ensure that village operations could continue to be maintained at their current levels. As you know, the sales tax base has essentially flattened in the last 18 months. ( We have limited ability to determine exactly what is happening with our sales tax base because we are not now a home rule community. ) We are also facing additional revenue decreases due to the uncertainty of the income tax and the income tax surcharge and the state of Illinois' budget balancing attempts which earlier this year caused the sales tax portion of the Motor Fuel Tax allotments to be cut off for five months. Flexibility Since the village Board has made it a practice of avoiding real estate taxes to fund the Corporate Fund and imposed only small fees for fines, permits and licenses, we are facing a very limited array of revenue sources. we also would like to point out that the coming years will require the Village Board to have maximum flexibility when dealing with village financial matters, something Home Rule status can certainly bestow. The history of Home Rule in Illinois demonstrates that the original intention of the legislature was to provide local governments with the ability to solve their particular problems without interference from the State statutes. The population cut-off of 25,000 seems to indicate that the legislators deemed a community of that size or larger would experience problems of sufficient complexity to warrant broader powers. In Oak Brook, where our daytime population swells to approximately 70,000, we are confronted with problems in providing services far beyond the needs of 9,000 residents. Categorizing the village of Oak Brook along with downstate communities of similar size such as LaSalle, Peru, Jarvis Township and Monmouth seems inappropriate and inadequate. However, because of that population stipulation, we are forced to seek election of Home Rule status rather than it being granted automatically. Other issues Last year, the Village Board voted to impose a utility tax with a sunset provision of September 30, 1992. Various spread sheets outlining our Long Term Financial Plan have assumed a continuance of this tax into the future. as does out 1992-93 Corporate Fund Budget. (See Below) . Should the tax not be continued, the revenue shortfall would be even more severe and important capital projects would be all but eliminated. Federally mandated programs such as ADA and the Clean Air Act are anticipated to have a major negative impact on the village financial resources. At this time, we can only stay current with the various requirements of this legislation and plan accordingly in terms of necessary revenues. The Utility Tax issue must also be addressed in the coming weeks since its existence is closely tied to the Village's financial future. In the 1992-93 budget, the utility tax has been projected to continue at its current rates of 4% for electric and gas and 3% for telecommunications. This revenue source will provide approximately $1.8 million and is earmarked for capital projects. If a 1/4% sales tax were imposed under Home Rule powers, the revenue yielded would be approximately $1.725 million. Alternatively, the utility tax could be allowed to expire and a 1/2% sales tax imposed yielding approximately $3.4 million. Continuation of the utility tax revenue stream and/or imposition of the additional sales tax appear to be the only viable alternatives to maintain village services. The attached timetable is offered for your information. It outlines what action is necessary for the Home Rule referendum and the dates such action must be taken. Respectfully submitted, i Marg C.

FUTURE FINANCIAL PLANS AND REVENUE SOURCES FOR THE VILLAGE OF OAK ORD. G-491 BROOK (Home Rule/Utility Tax) : UTILITY TAX 1. ORDINANCE NO. G-491 AN ORDINANCE FURTHER AMENDING ORDINANCE RES. R-567 G-470 "AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A UTILITY TAX WITHIN THE HOME RULE VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK, DU PAGE AND COOK COUNTIES, ILLINOIS": D2- A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A REFERENDUM ON WHETHER THE VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK SHALL BE A HOME RULE UNIT: Trustee Bartecki presented a brief outline of the Village's Budget and noted options to raise additional revenue for the Village's shortfall by implementing Home Rule and increased Sales Tax revenue. Acting Village Manager Kapff outlined alternatives of revenue sources for the Village: A. If the Utility Tax is not extended after September, there would be a drastic reduction in capital improvements and level of services to the residents. B. Assume the continued 4% Utility Tax on natural gas and electric, and 3% for telephone would not generate enough funds to maintain the same level of .services and capital improvements. C. Increase utility rate to 5% on electric, 5% on natural gas and 4% on telephone, increase Sales Tax 1/4% enacted through Home Rule in November, and passage of an ordinance. Illinois Department of Revenue initiates tax as of June 1, 1993 and collect tax September, 1993. Only eight (8) months of 93/94 would receive that revenue. D. Eliminate utility tax after 92/93 and institute a 1/2% Sales Tax. Trustee Bartecki noted that Home Rule would not be detrimental to the residents as it would affect Sales Tax and the Village would still maintain its present services. This enables the Village to generate additional revenues of a non-residential nature to balance the budget. Trustee Bartecki stated Home Rule gives the Village more control on the usage of Village property, liquor regulations, zoning, land use, licensing control, additional revenue sources, hotel/motel taxes, utility tax, property tax, amusement tax, gasoline tax and government structure. Trustee Bartecki requested passage of the referendum resolution with public hearings on the proposed question in the weeks ahead. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 8 July 28, 1992 4 President. Bushy stated the pamphlet, "Home Rule In Illinois", is available at a cost of $4.00 to residents by contacting Margaret Rimbo at the Village Hall. Trustee Winters reclused himself from discussion or voting on the Utility Tax proposal due to employment by Illinois Bell.

Trustee Mayer agreed with the process of Home Rule, but requested studying other avenues of revenue sources other than the Sales Tax. Trustees Shumate and Winters concurred with Trustee Mayer. President Bushy acknowledged Oak Brook Association of Commerce and Industry (OBACI) representatives, Dave Gooder and their Executive Director. President Bushy noted meetings with the management of the Shopping Center and OBACI regarding Home Rule, and they have a distinct interest in maintaining Oak Brook in a manner and fashion that support the large investment as residents, including proper maintenance of the infrastructure. A resident commented on the crime rate increase at the Shopping Center and the crime prevention expenditures of the Village to properly maintain security at the Shopping Center. Trustee Bartecki stated the Shopping Center revenues are $3-$4 million yearly which more than covers public safety expenditures. President Bushy noted the Shopping Center has their own security force 24-hours a day and seven (7) days a week. Bernie Cozette voiced his concern of Village expenditures. He commended the Board for their diligence but requested capital expenditures be postponed to balance the budget. President Bushy commented that many expenditures are mandated by the State and the Village has no jurisdiction on said items. President Bushy noted the Public Works Department has not been expanded, while more subdivisions have been developed. Trustee Shumate stated the Village will incur expenditures for the ADA compliance of ramps and elevators. OBACI representative, David Gooder, commented OBACI will be meeting to discuss the Home Rule concept and understands the needs of the Village.

By and large, I have concentrated on non-tax matters. Officers and Employees The Fire & Police Commission Act limits non-home rule municipalities to imposing either a 30-day suspension without pay or discharge for police officers or fire fighters found guilty of serious infractions of the departmental rules and regulations. There is no provision in the State statutes for demoting a public service officer, or striking his/her name from a promotional eligibility list. A number of home rule communities have enacted ordinances which do one or more of the following: 1. Allow for demotion of one rank; 2. Impose successive 30-day suspensions without pay; and/or 3. Strike the public safety officer's name from a promotional eligibility list. State statutes require a municipality to provide military preference points for new hires. Certain home rule communities have abolished this requirement, in part because it may adversely impact women candidates. State statutes provide a rather cumbersome set of qualifications for fire and police commissioners, including the requirement that not more than two of the commissioners be affiliated with the same political party. Commissioners are required to sign an affidavit setting forth their party affiliation. A number of home rule municipalities have abolished that political affiliation requirement. Certain home rule municipalities have increased the probationary period of officers to a period greater than one year. A few home rule municipalities have combined their fire and police departments, while still others require that police officers participate in the police pension fund as a condition of employment. Home Rule Ordinances - 2 - August 19, 1992 An increasing number of home rule communities are exempting certain ranks in their public service divisions from the police and fire commission's authority. This allows the village administration to select the top supervisors in the respective department. When an individual is asked to step aside from that exempt position, he/she reverts to their former civil service rank. Police Power Regulations Certain home rule communities have adopted ordinances regulating animals. For example, a number of jurisdictions license cats; others will have a stringent rodent control ordinance (possibly the towns with too many rodents should get in touch with the towns with too many cats); there is even one town which banned tarantulas as "wild animals". On a more serious note, certain towns have imposed regulations with respect to the operation of bicycles; others required a "clear view area" at dangerous intersections for motorists; thereby requiring the removal of bushes, plants and weeds so that motorists have clear sight lines. There are a variety of miscellaneous regulations which home rule municipalities have imposed including banning hand guns, strictly regulating fireworks, and adopting regulations relating to contracts between landlords and tenants. One community enacted a fraud prevention ordinance which requires a three-day cancellation period for any sale made at a buyer's residence. A number of communities have enacted ordinances requiring the demolition of dangerous and unsafe buildings and imposing a lien in the event that the owner fails to pay the cost of the demolition. I might say that we are having problems collecting from a handful of residents for recycling fees. If we had home rule powers, we could, by ordinance, impose a lien on such scofflaws. This is particularly helpful where the amount of the delinquency is less than the cost of filing a collection suit. Certain communities have required the disclosure of all beneficiaries of a land trust where any municipal action is requested on behalf of the landowner. Zoning. Building and Miscellaneous Matters A number of communities have adopted stringent billboard, sign and/or mobile sign regulatory ordinances which exceed the standards set forth in the State statutes. A couple of home rule communities have changed the voting requirements to vacate streets from an extraordinary majority of five to a simple majority of four trustees. Certain towns have changed the procedure for disposing of personal property. As you know, we go through an ordinance virtually every time we want to dispose of junk. Other towns have enacted ordinances permitting the sale of beer on a public golf course without a State license. Home Rule Ordinances - 3 - August 19, 1992 I hope the above list gives you a flavor of the possible use of home rule powers in areas other than finance. If you have any questions, or if I may be of further assistance, please contact me. Respectfully submitted, e Richard A.

Kapff, Acting Village Manager SUBJECT: Home Rule Authority You have asked that I respond to the following questions: 1. Whether under home rule, the Village of Oak Brook could initiate a property tax without a voter referendum. The short answer is "yes". As a home rule municipality, the Village would not be subject to the statutory restrictions on local taxing and borrowing powers. Non- home rule villages cannot exceed statutory limits on property tax rates unless voters approve a higher rate by a referendum. Statutory provisions also limit the borrowing authority of non-home rule villages, the kinds of debt that can be used, the interest rates that can be paid, and the total amount of general obligation debt that can be incurred. Most importantly, non-home rule municipalities may not issue general obligation bonds unless authorized by local referendum. None of these restrictions apply to home rule municipalities. 2. Whether under home rule, the Village could extend or increase the Sports Core tax levy beyond the rate and term of the original Sports Core bond. Even under home rule, the Village could not change the terms of the existing Sports Core bond without the consent of the bond holders. As indicated above, if the Village wished to issue a new general obligation bond for some municipal purpose, it could do so without a local referendum. 3. Whether the so-called "tax cap"applies to home rule municipalities. The Property Tax Extension Limitation Act which imposes the so-called "tax cap" applies only to non-home rule taxing bodies. It does not apply to home rule municipalities. Returning for a moment to the first issue, whether the Village can initiate a property tax, the Property Tax Extension Limitation Act would require that the Village, as a non-home rule unit, hold a local referendum before any property tax could be levied. Home Rule - 2 - September 23, 1992 It is important to note that prior to the Property Tax Extension Limitation Act, the Village did have the authority to initiate a property tax. Thus, before the 1991 tax levy year, the Village had the authority to initiate a property tax. From the time the Village was founded in 1959 until 1991, the Village has steadfastly eschewed the imposition of such a local real estate tax. Re rlctfully submitted, 1 Richard A. Martens Village Attorney RAM:sps cc: Village President & Board of Trustees t D. HOME RULE INFORMATION PACKET - DISCUSSION: HOYE RULE Trustee Winters requested the Village publicize that the Village Board had the authority until 1990 to initiate real estate taxes but chose not to initiate any real estate taxes during that time. The tax cap passed in 1990 does not allow the Village any increase in taxes without a Home Rule referendum passage. Trustee Mayer inquired the status of the Sales Tax_..- Acting Village Manager Kapff stated it has remained stationary and not increased. Trustee Shumate inquired if the Sports Core Bond issue were replaced, would the Village be required to go to referendum. Village Attorney Martens stated a referendum would be required unless the community is Home Rule. Trustee Shumate noted the loss of flexibility of financing of the Village due to the tax cap. President Bushy stated Finance Officer Powers and she attended two homeowner association meetings with a slide presentation of the Village finances and the concept of Home Rule. They felt it was well received and requested residents to look at the issue and vote accordingly. A presentation will be made to the Oak Brook Association of Commerce and Industry and other homeowner's meetings. President Bushy stated the Village newsletter will address Home Rule and an informative letter to registered voters will be sent to clarify their precinct, polling place and Home Rule information. Trustee Payovich wished to clarify in any printed information on Home Rule that the Board did not vote to seek Home Rule but voted to have the residents decide the question of Home Rule. President Bushy has offered to provide copies to residents of the Illinois Issues of Home Rule and the.slide presentation of the financial affairs of the Village and Home Rule information. A Town Meeting is scheduled for October 14th in which the Village Board will address the finances and concept of Home Rule to interested residents. On October 15th, the Civic Association will host an open meeting and has given the Village time for a short presentation regarding Home Rule. Trustee Winters requested all presentation materials and informative letters regarding Home Rule be reviewed by the Village Attorney. He further requested Village Attorney Martens to attend the two Town Meetings. Dr. Banovetz, author of "Home Rule in Illinois", Illinois Issues, will attend the October 14th meeting. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 5 September 22, 1992 Joe Fullan, Timber Trails, reiterated the excellent presentation by President Bushy and Finance Officer Powers to the homeowners regarding Home Rule and Village finances. President Bushy requested a revised draft of Home Rule information for the Board's review before the final printing. Acting Village Manager Kapff will direct Staff to complete the materials for distribution to Board members for their immediate response. Trustee Winters requested the newspapers to publish the homeowner's meetings. 11. NEW BUSINESS: A.

Thomas J. Millon has requested that the Village take over the storm line within the public right-of-way while the homeowners continue to maintain the sump pump. Trustee Mayer inquired if a 3-inch pipe would be a problem for the Village to maintain. Village Engineer Durfey stated there isn't any type of this pipe maintained in the Village presently. Trustee Skinner requested the up-grade of the pipe but at the homeowner's expense. Mr. Millon noted the pipe is in the Village right-of-way. Village Engineer Durfey stated that approximately $5,000.00 would be needed in next year's budget to install a storm sewer across the cul-de-sac while the homeowners maintain the sump pump. Trustee Payovich moved that the Village extend the storm sewer from 808 Merry Lane to 812 Merry Lane across the cul-de-sac south to the beginning of the storm sewer on the south side and include VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 6 September 22, 1992 /o. D : Q From: Phil Mayer Date: August b, 1992 j?Atr To: Village President & Board of Trustees Re: Home Rule This is a kind of response to Dick Martens July 30 memo. It seemed to me that a first step should be to get our act together and agree on both the background facts and the reasons why we are presenting the vote on home rule. To that end, see the attached "white paper". This is intended to be a draft— I may not know what I am talking about and, even more likely, I may not be expressing the opinions of the rest of you. There is also a better than even chance that something important has been left out. The idea of more or less agreeing on a position is to make sure that we are rowing in the same direction. There should be opportunities for us to "talk up" home rule before the election, and we should be informative, persuasive and consistent. Not that the same words have to be used (there's no pride of authorship here) but it would be good to have a common play book to choose the substance of what's best to say. Under the present political climate, home rule isnot an election shoo-in. We need more than one explanatory mailing. The local press should be given "stuff" — letters, interviews, position papers. There will only be a couple of Civic Association newsletters issued before the election, and there should be something in each. Homeowner's groups need contacting. Our background papers suggest that some home rule opposition has come from "activist" groups outside of the communities involved. I'd rather see us smoke out any such campaign early rather than get hit with a last minute blitz of anti-home rule material, Dick's suggestion of a citizens committee sounds like a good idea — it might be the same people but the organization is more attractive. cc: Bruce F. Kapff Richard A. Martens ----------- Z�pA� Home Rule for Oak Brook What Is Home Rule? Home Rule is a form of legal standing for Illinois municipalities permitted by the 1970 Constitutional Convention. A non-home rule community can enact tax and regulatory rules only as specifically permitted by the Springfield legislature. A home rule community can enact tax and regulatory rules as it sees fit unless specifically prohibited by the Springfield legislature. The concept behind home rule is that local government is better able to govern local situations than are general rules set up in Springfield. Who Gets Home Rule? On the apparent theory that larger towns are always likely to present unique situations, while smaller towns should be protected against themselves, the law gave all municipalities over 25,000 in population automatic home rule status, and those smaller were given the right to elect home rule by referendum. Since 1970, over 30 smaller towns have elected home rule; usually to deal with special problems like DeKalb (major university in a small town), McCook (much heavy industry), Park City (large mobile home population), Rosemont (many motels serving O'Hare airport) and Stickney (Hawthorne Race Track). Why Home Rule For Oak Brook? Oak Brook presents the very kind of special situation that home rule for smaller communities was intended. Oak Brook's 1990 census population was 9,087, but the daytime actual population is more like 50-60,000, and about 20% of village property is occupied by commercial entities including many major company offices and one of the Chicago area's major shopping centers. This large daytime "city" demands police, fire, ambulance, public works, etc. services commensurate with its size and prosperity— which is far beyond what might be needed for a community of 9,000 in downstate Illinois. Will Home Rule Raise Taxes? Merely becoming a home rule village will not increase taxes; but "yes", the Village Board of Trustees voted to seek home rule through referendum in order to open additional revenue sources. However, what Oak Brook residents should focus on is the kind of tax revenue that would likely be involved. Today, Oak Brook is one of those rare communities levying no property tax to cover its operations. This is possible because Illinois communities receive a portion of the State sales tax collected within their borders, and the considerable sales tax revenue from the shopping center together with other village enterprises has provided the required income. As a home rule community, Oak Brook would acquire the right to seek additional tax revenue through such sources as: 1/4% increases of the sales tax; a hotel/motel tax not limited to hotel promotion only; a restaurant food and beverage tax; an amusement tax on movies, plays etc., so-called "sin" taxes on cigarettes, beer and liquor; as well as other possibilities. These are not direct taxes on Oak Brook residents; and it can be argued that such taxes would directly fall on those that make Oak Brook the large daytime city that requires the expenses of Page 1 � �,,,� '. "" ,s arm� , ,� ,.�� �; R Afi Home Rule for Oak Brook t such a large city. Is More Tax Income Required? Unfortunately, the answer must be a clear "yes" if services are to be maintained and the basic needs of the community are to be kept in order. The Village of Oak Brook is only a little over 30 years old, and much of the community has been built during that period and is therefore much younger. Because it was new, the Village could and did "coast along" without incurring the expenses of major reworking and repairing of the roads, bridges, public buildings and other physical aspects of the community. The sales tax income covered the day-to-day expenses of running the Village. During the last couple of years, sales tax income — always somewhat unpredictable — dropped off and, at the same time, it became apparent than maajor repairing was becoming inevitable. Moreover, prudent Village management indicated that a sensible program of preventative maintenance was far better in the long run than letting Village assets simply decay to the point where complete rebuilding was required. The impact of these events is considerable. In fiscal 1990- 1, the Village spent about $200,000 on road work; in fiscal 1991-2, $1,800,000 will be spent on one major road project to keep it from getting even further out of hand. To offset falling sales tax revenue, the Village adopted for 1991-2 a utility tax for the first time (one of the few taxing options open to a non-home rule community), and this tax does fall on all residents as a charge on telephone, electricity and natural gas use. This present revenue is not enough. The Village is dipping into its reserves. Oak Brook operates no programs with substantial "fat" that can be cut back. A major source, or sources, of income is needed. Home rule would provide the ability to make intelligent choices as to where that income can most fairly be obtained. An that is the "nut", the "bottom line", the basic rationale for approving the home rule referendum. A knee-jerk disapproval without an alternate plan for the future of Oak Brook would be irresponsible. If It Doesn't "Work". Can We Get Out Of Home Rule? If events under home rule turn "bad" (the usual phrase is "abuse of home rule powers") there are three remedies. Least practical, perhaps, is legislation in Springfield saying "you can't do that under home rule". More practical is legal action asking a local court to rule that what is being done is wrong. No one likes lawsuits, but certainly the residents of Oak Brook have the knowledge and financial ability to seek legal protection. Finally, a referendum can vote home rule out (just as it voted it in). And again, Oak Brook is not so large that concerned citizens could find it impractical to seek a referendum; nor is there any large voting block with the same special interest that could "swing" an election against the common good.

This packet of information, following Village Board approval, will then be available for residents, press or other interested parties in studying the question of home rule for the Village of Oak Brook. Please advise me of any changes you would like in the draft no later than noon on Monday, September 28, 1992. If we have not heard from you by that time, we will assume that the draft is satisfactory and we will proceed to reproduce it and use it in conjunction with our information program. In addition to the white paper, I have also included copies of slides used in our presentations to homeowners associations and the Oak Brook Association of Commerce & Industry indicating the current financial situation leading to the home rule referendum. i have also included two memos from Village Attorney Martens, answering some other questions concerning home rule. Should you require anything further in this regard, please feel free to call. Respectfully submitted, Bruce F. Kapff Acting Village Manager BFK:sps Enclosure: Home Rule Packet cc: Richard A. Martens, Village Attorney Maggie Powers, Finance Officer y-ZY-.�lZ Q R .q� HOME RULE FOR OAK BROOK What/s Home Rule? Home Rule is a form of Illinois municipal government permitted by the 1970 Constitutional Convention. A non-home rule community can enact tax and regulatory rules only as specifically permitted by the Springfield legislature. A home rule community can enact tax and regulatory rules pertaining to its governmental affairs unless specifically prohibited by the Springfield legislature. The concept behind home rule is that local government is better able to govern local situations than are general rules set up in Springfield. Who Gets Home Ru/e? On the apparent theory that larger towns are always likely to present unique situations, while smaller towns should be protected against themselves, the law gave all municipalities over 25,000 in population automatic home rule status, and those smaller were given the right to elect home rule by referendum. Since 1970, over 30 smaller towns have elected home rule; usually to deal with special problems like DeKalb (major university in a small town), McCook (much heavy industry), Park City (large mobile home population), Rosemont (many motels serving O'Hare airport), and Stickney (Hawthorne Race Track). Why Home Rule For Oak Brook? Oak Brook presents the very kind of special situation that home rule for smaller communities was intended. Oak Brook's 1990 census population was 9,087, but the daytime actual population is more like 50,000-60,000, and about 20% of village property is occupied by commercial entities including many major company offices and one of the Chicago area's major shopping centers. This large daytime "city' demands police, fire, ambulance, public works, etc. services (on a 24-hour basis) commensurate with its size and prosperity--which is far beyond what might be needed for a community of 9,000 in downstate Illinois. Will Horne Rule Raise Taxes? Merely becoming a home rule village will not increase taxes; but "yes", the Village Board of Trustees voted to present home rule through referendum to the residents in order to open additional revenue sources. However, what Oak Brook residents should focus on is the kind of tax revenue that would likely be involved. Today, Oak Brook is one of those rare communities levying no property tax to cover its operations. This is possible because Illinois communities receive a portion of the State sales tax collected within their borders, and the considerable sales tax revenue from the shopping center together with other village enterprises has provided the required income. As a home rule community, Oak Brook would acquire the right to seek additional tax revenue through such sources as: increases of the sales tax; a hotel/motel tax not limited to hotel Page 1 �: Y f.. k"�1 �� o q� promotion only; a restaurant food and beverage tax; an amusement tax on movies, plays, etc., so-called "sin" taxes on cigarettes, beer and liquor; as well as other possibilities. These are not direct taxes on Oak Brook residents; and it can be argued that such taxes would directly fall on those that make Oak Brook the large daytime city that requires the expenses of such a large city. /s More Tax Income Required? Unfortunately, the answer must be a clear "yes" if services are to be maintained and the basic needs of the community are to be kept in order. The Village of Oak Brook is only a little over 30 years old, and much of the community has been built during that period and is therefore much younger. Because it was new, the Village could and did "coast along" without incurring the expenses of major reworking and repairing of the roads, bridges, public buildings and other physical aspects of the community. During the last couple of years, sales tax income has not increased in proportion to the Village's financial needs, particularly as major repairs are becoming inevitable. Moreover, prudent Village management now indicates that a sensible program of preventative maintenance would be far better in the long run than letting Village assets simply decay to the point where complete rebuilding is required. The impact of these events is considerable. In fiscal 1990-91, the Village spent about $200,000 on road work; in fiscal 1991-92, $1,800,000 will be spent on one major road project to keep it from getting even further out of hand. To offset falling sales tax revenue, the Village adopted for 1991-92 a utility tax for the first time (one of the few taxing options open to a non-home rule community), and this tax does fall on all residents as a charge on telephone, electricity and natural gas use. The present revenue is not enough. The Village began dipping into its reserves during fiscal year 1987-88. Oak Brook operates no programs with substantial "fat"' that can be cut back. A major source, or sources, of income is needed. Home rule would rovide the ability to make intelligent choices as to where that income can most fairly obtained. And that is the "nut", the "bottom line", the basic rationale for approving the home rule referendum. A knee-jerk disapproval without an alternate plan for the future of Oak Brook would be irresponsible. /f If Doesn't "Work" Can We Get Out Of Home Ru/e? If events under home rule turn "bad" (the usual phrase is "abuse of home rule powers"), there are three remedies. Least practical, perhaps, is legislation in Springfield saying "you can't do that under home rule". More practical is legal action asking a local court to rule that what is being done is wrong. No one likes lawsuits, but certainly the residents of Oak Brook have the knowledge and financial ability to seek legal protection. Finally, a referendum can vote home rule out (just as it voted it in). And again, Oak Brook is not so large that concerned citizens could find it impractical to seek a referendum; nor is there any large voting block with the same special interest that could "swing" an election against the common good. Page 2 How Would Home Rule Change The Village's Ability To LevyA Real Estate Propertyr Tax? Prior to 1990, when the Illinois State Legislature passed a Tax Cap law, the Village could have levied a property tax without going to referendum and without having home rule. Since the Village's incorporation in 1958 through 1990, during which time the Village had the power to enact a property tax without separate voter approval, the Village at no time chose to do so. The 1990 Tax Cap law passed by the Illinois Legislature eliminated the ability to approve a property tax without separate referendum. If the Village were to acquire home rule powers, the Village could once again be able to approve a property tax without separate referendum, a power which it had and never chose to use between 1959 and 1990. IfHome Rule IsApproved, W1II The Village Board Go "Hog Wild"In Approving New Taxes? Historically, the Village Board and the Village of Oak Brook has shown a high level of accountability to Village residents as evidenced by the current lack of a property tax (and no future desire to implement one), a track record of giving any surplus dollars back to Village residents, including an 11-year tax abatement of Sports Core bonds in the amount of$3.6 million, and payment of residential garbage collection of approximately $3 million over a similar period of time.
