A RESOLUTION
ENDORSING THE LEGISLATIVE ACTION PROGRAM OF
THE DUPAGE MAYORS AND MANAGERS CONFERENCE FOR
THE 2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
WHEREAS, the Village of Oak Brook is a municipal corporation with authority provided for
and granted pursuant to the Illinois Municipal Code to exercise certain powers and perform certain
functions pertaining to its local government and affairs;
WHEREAS, the Village of Oak Brook is a member of the DuPage Mayors and Managers
Conference;
WHEREAS, the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference develops its annual
Legislative Action Program with the goal of establishing a comprehensive platform on legislative
issues in order to protect and benefit the interests of its member municipalities, residents and
businesses in these municipalities, and the region generally;
WHEREAS, on November 4, 2021 the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference Board
of Directors voted unanimously to adopt its 2022 Legislative Action Program, attached hereto;
and
WHEREAS, the Village of Oak Brook, will individually benefit by formally establishing
positions on legislative issues affecting municipalities, thereby giving clear direction to officials
and employees of the Village of Oak Brook regarding legislative positions that may be represented
in official capacity or on behalf of the municipality.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Village President and Board of Trustees
of the Village of Oak Brook, DuPage and Cook Counties, Illinois in open meeting assembled, as
follows:
Section One— Recitals
The Corporate Authorities hereby find that all of the recitals hereinbefore stated as
contained in the preamble to this resolution are full, true and correct and do hereby, by reference,
incorporate and make them part of this resolution as legislative findings.
Section Two— Endorsement Legislative Action Program
That the Village of Oak Brook hereby adopts those parts of the DuPage Mayors and
Managers Conference's 2022 Legislative Action Program, as follows::
1. Preserve Local Authority, including:
a) Protecting qualified immunity to ensure local
governments are not unduly liable for municipal officials
discharging their duties in accordance with existing
policy; and
2
b) Preserving Tax Increment Financing (TIF) authority to
ensure municipalities complete redevelopment projects
and continue investment in local economic
development; and
c) Permitting non-home rule municipalities to implement
and utilize locally imposed motor fuel taxes (MFT)
consistent with Cook County non-home rule
municipalities.
2. Ensure Sustainable Municipal Budgets, including:
a) Returning the Local Government Distributive Fund to
10%; and
b) Repealing the state administrative fee on locally
imposed sales taxes; and
Section Three— Exclusions
Due to the structural underfunding of pension liabilites, the continual deferral of these
liabilities, and the increasing future pension liabilities that payment deferrals create; and due to
a desire to restrict the hotel/motel funds for use in promotion of the same source that generated
them to further reinvestment in those same generators; and due to the Village of Oak Brook's
proximety to the Cook County border and the competitive nature of the the business, including
the taxes assocaited therewith; the Village of Oak Brook does not adopt, and specifically excludes
its support for, that portion of the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference's 2022 Legislative
Action Program, identified as:
1. Extending the amortization period for public safety
pensions to 2050 to align with other state and Chicago-
based funds;
2. Removing restrictions on non-home rule municipalities use
of hotel/motel and locally-imposed sales tax revenue; and
3. Allowing application of hotel/motel taxes to stays of 30 days
or longer.
Section Four— Direction
That a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to the DuPage Mayors and Managers
Conference, to all state and federal legislators representing the Village of Oak Brook, to the Office
of the Governor, and to department heads in the Village of Oak Brook.
Section Four—Recording
This resolution shall be entered into the minutes and upon the journals of the Board of
Trustees of the Village of Oak Brook.
APPROVED THIS 8th day of February, 2022.
