Committee Item Memo
Meeting Date: January 22, 2024
Staff Contact: Vincent Smith, Public Works Director
Department: Public Works
Subject: Discussion of Text Amendments to § 56-199 Sewer and § 56-311 Cross-
Connection and Control Inspection and Maintenance of the Village Code
Background Information:
Staff recommends minor text amendments to keep the Village Code current. The current
language in the Village Code identifies a prior vendor used to track cross-connection devices
connected to the Village's Community Water System. The proposed amendments will reflect
the current practice of working with Brycer, LLC., the Compliance Engine, which began in
2022. Additional language updates reflect the current code for regulating backflow devices per
the Illinois Department of Public Health's Plumbing Code.
The proposed sewer amendments update the language, harmonizing the code to reflect the
current mandates with Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) requirements for its
Watershed Management Ordinance.
Financial Impact:
N/A
Recommendation(s):
Discuss proposed changes and direct the Village Attorney to draft a resolution to adopt these
changes.

Committee Item Memo
Meeting Date: January 22, 2024
Staff Contact: Bob Uphues, Management Analyst
Department: Village Manager's Office
Subject: Discussion About Amending Various Sections of the Village Code
Pertaining to Advisory Commissions and Committees
Background Information:
The Village Board on occasion has acted to amend the Village Code to repeal advisory
commissions or committees that either are no longer functioning or have been made
redundant through other actions by the Village Board.
However, there still remain in the Village Code either references to commissions/committees
which have already been repealed or entire sections of the code dedicated to
commissions/committees no longer functioning.
References to Library Board, Electrical Commission and Special Events Committee
Chapter 2, Article VI, Division 1, Sec. 2-423 of the Village Code lists village boards,
commissions and committees that “shall be appointed or elected.” Among those listed are the
Library Board, Electrical Commission and Special Events Committee.
The Village Board has already taken action to repeal all three of those entities, and there is no
other language in the Village Code about them.
Board of Health
While there is no Board of Health listed among the designated boards and commissions in
Chapter 2-VI-1-2-423, language still exists in Chapter 2, Article VI, Division 8, establishing a
Board of Health. The ordinance dates from 1964 with an update in 1980. However, there has
not been a Board of Health appointed in Brookfield in recent memory. It’s unclear when it last
served as an active entity.
Streets and Infrastructure Commission
Chapter 2, Article VI, Division 12 of the Village Code established a Village Board
subcommittee called the Streets and Infrastructure Commission. Like the Board of Health, it is
not listed in Sec. 2-423 of Chapter 2, Article VI, Division 1. The committee was created by
ordinance in 1964 and the ordinance was updated last in 2001. There has not been a
functioning Streets and Infrastructure Commission of the Village Board in at least 20 years.
Page 8 of 16
The committee was created generally to recommend infrastructure improvement policies and
prioritize infrastructure projects. In the last 20 or so years, the Village Board has worked
collaboratively with the Village Engineer to identify infrastructure improvement priorities,
making the subcommittee redundant.
Planning, Zoning and Economic Development Committee
In January 2007, the Village Board voted to approve an ordinance creating a Planning, Zoning
and Economic Development Committee, a body appointed by the Village President and
consisting of three Village Trustees. The chairperson of the PZED committee served as its
liaison to the Village Board.
The committee met as needed, typically prior to regularly scheduled Village Board meetings.
From 2007 to 2015, PZED does not appear to have met frequently, but it became more active
in 2015 as a forum for Village staff to solicit feedback and recommendations from elected
officials on various economic development initiatives. Subjects considered by the committee
often would then move on to consideration by the full Village Board at a Committee of the
Whole meeting.
The committee appears to have stopped convening in 2018, and since that time the Village
Board has taken a variety of other steps to address subjects formerly considered by PZED.
In 2021, the Village Manager with the consent of the Village Board hired a part-time economic
development coordinator, who spearheaded the creation of an Economic Development Plan
and manages a variety of economic development-related initiatives.
In May 2022, the Village Board voted to approve an ordinance creating the Brookfield
Economic Development Commission, an advisory group consisting of nine Brookfield business
owners and leaders.
Since its creation, the Economic Development Commission has been tasked with considering
initiatives that were once the purview of PZED, including reviewing and making
recommendations on applications for Brookfield’s Property Improvement Program, reviewing
and providing feedback on proposed redevelopment projects, reviewing the Village’s Economic
Development Plan, and considering other economic development initiatives, such as Shop
Local campaigns to support Brookfield businesses.
In December 2023, the Village Board approved its 2024 Operating Budget, which includes
funding to create the new position of Business Development Specialist, who would be tasked
with focusing on business retention/attraction efforts. The Business Development Specialist
will also work closely with the Community Development Department and the Economic
Development Commission.
Impact of PZED Committee repeal on Fair Housing Advisory Committee
Page 9 of 16
If the Village Board agrees that the Planning, Zoning and Economic Development Committee
is no longer needed, that decision will have an impact elsewhere in the code.
In 2007, the Village Board voted to amend Chapter 2, Article VI, Division 3 of the Village Code,
creating a Fair Housing Advisory Committee. The amendment was done to update the
Village’s Fair Housing Policy as established in the Village Code (Chapter 32, Article II) to
“ensure compliance with the Village ADA standards, align the Village’s definitions with the Fair
Housing Act, require reasonable rental accommodations for persons with disabilities, and
streamline the complaint intake and hearing process.”
The amendment adopted in 2007 created a Fair Housing Advisory Committee, a subcommittee
of the Village Board, to handle complaints. The members of that committee according to the
Village Code “shall be comprised of all current members of the Planning, Zoning, and
Economic Development Committee.”
If the PZED Committee is abolished, the section of the code establishing the Fair Housing
Advisory Committee will need to be amended with respect to how its members are appointed.
If the Board is amenable to amending these various sections of Village code, staff will work
with the Village attorney to present the recommended amendments.
Recommendation(s):
1. Village staff recommends amending Chapter 2-VI-1-2-423 of the Village Code to
remove the references to the Library Board, Electrical Commission and Special Events
Committee.
2. Village staff recommends repealing Chapter 2, Article VI, Division 8 of the Village Code,
pertaining to the Board of Health.
3. Village staff recommends repealing Chapter 2, Article VI, Division 12 of the Village
Code, pertaining to the Streets and Infrastructure Commission.
4. With PZED inactive for the past six years and with the Village taking steps since 2018 to
create an Economic Development Commission and budget for the hiring in 2024 of a
new Business Development Specialist, Village staff recommends repealing Chapter 2,
Article VI, Division 15 of the Village Code pertaining to the Planning, Zoning and
Economic Development Committee and to remove the reference to the PZED
Committee in Chapter 2-VI-1-2-423.
5. As the Fair Housing Advisory Committee was created in response to ensuring the
Village was providing necessary safeguards for fair housing, staff does not recommend
repealing that committee, and instead would recommend amending the language in the
code regarding the appointment of its membership.
