Call to Order Mayor John Egofske called the COW Meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. II. Roll Call Present were Trustees, Blatzer, Kwasneski, McClafferty, Sniegowski and Stapleton. Maher, absent. Also present were George Schafer, Mark LaChappell, Marc Maton, Ralph Pukula, and Chris Smith and Village Attorney, Andrew Paine. III. Discussion Items A. Village Conflict with Cook County Minimum Wage and Sick Leave Ordinances. Cook County Board of Commissioners adopted a series of ordinances impacting the provision of paid sick days as well as increasing the minimum wage paid to private sector workers in Cook County. Both ordinances provided workers in Cook County higher than those provided via state and federal laws, with an effective date of July 1, 2017. State minimum wage is currently set at $8.25 per hour and the County ordinances would include a four-year increase in the minimum wage starting with $10.00 per hour beginning July 1, 2017. There is a mechanism in which the Village Board can effectively “opt-out” of the regulations via passing its own conflicting ordinance amending its municipal code. Attorney Andrew Paine explained the legalities of the options the Village Board had in the matter. Mr. Schafer stated that staff’s recommendation would be for the Village Board to approve an ordinance effectively opting out of Cook County’s ordinances due to providing for an environment of competitive balance among Village businesses and those in neighboring counties and municipalities. Several members of the business community have asked the Village Board to opt out of these regulations. Mayor Egofske stated that the business community has reached out and communicated that the regulations would put their businesses at a competitive disadvantage and would be detrimental in many respects. Several of the Board Members voiced their agreement with Mayor Egofske. The Mayor and the Board directed staff to prepare the appropriate ordinance for the June 26th VB Meeting. B. Intergovernmental Agreement Regarding Property Tax Appeals Finance Director, Chris Smith presented an agreement with School District 210, School District 113a, Library District, Park District and Township to assist with Tax Objections. The Village’s share of the cost to object is 9.75%. Tax objections will only occur if it is more than $100,000. The agreement states the agencies have engaged Page 1 of 3 Klein, Thorpe & Jenkins, LTD as their attorneys to intervene in and defend the tax objection cases. Staff was directed to create a resolution for the June 26th Village Board Meeting.
