Analysis: Village staff has evaluated the regulations governing the procedures for Village business licenses contained in Title 7 ("Business Regulations") of the Village Code. The Village Attorney has drafted the attached ordinance as a result of that evaluation for presentation to the Village Board. The draft ordinance provides a streamlined procedure for applications for business licenses and the processing of such applications. These procedures would apply across the board to all businesses licensed by the Village to provide uniformity and clarity. The ordinance codifies many procedures the Village has had in place for applications and the processing of applications. The draft ordinance also eliminates provisions in the Code that are no longer applicable, such as language that references a 2006 amendment in Section 3-1-8 of the Code regarding administrative approvals for certain businesses and language regarding frontage consents contained in Section 3-1- 10 of the Code and other similar provisions. The ordinance sets forth procedures for delinquent payments of license fees and also provides that if an applicant owes any fees or charges to the Village or otherwise is not in compliance with the Village Code for any reason, the applicant is not eligible for a license. Section 3-1-12 of the Code has been revised to provide for an emergency process for the suspension or revocation of a license for cases in which a business poses a threat to public health, safety and welfare. This section has been written and reviewed in conjunction with other Village departments, including Community Development and the Police Department. The section allows for an appeal of a suspension or revocation of a license to the Village Board. These procedures would apply to a business licensed by the Village and the ordinance contains numerous amendments to the various categories of businesses set forth in the Code for which these procedures would be applicable.

Contribution to Strategic Plan Strategic Priority: Financial Stability; Initiative: Maintain financial stability and create a financial decision-making framework. Action Requested: Staff requests the Village Board discuss the draft ordinance and provide feedback. Attachments: 1.

It shall also be cause for revocation or suspension that the licensee has made a false statement on any application for license under this chapter or in the event that the licensee shall refuse to permit any authorized Police officer, Building Inspector, Fire Inspector, or other authorized representatives of the Village to inspect the premises or the operations thereof at reasonable times.

Analysis:Background At its August 26, 2024 meeting, the Village Board adopted a new building permit fee structure and schedule as part of Ordinance 7122-VC. This schedule, which included a 4% fee increase, was planned to take effect at the time the new LAMA software was implemented on April 21, 2025. At its February 24, 2025 meeting, the Village Board approved further modifications, largely to the way fees are calculated for new buildings, additions, alterations, and remodeling. At that time, staff proposed to reassess the fee schedule after one full year of software implementation to evaluate how the new system interacts with the updated fee structure and inform any necessary adjustments to improve alignment with operational costs and revenue goals. Now that a year has passed, staff proposes modifications to adjust fees for flat-rate permits that do not currently cover costs, provide for planned future cost adjustments, and ensure that fees are assessed in line with Village Board policies. Minimum Fees The permit fees for additions, alterations, and remodeling projects are set at 1.25% of the project cost for residential projects and 2% for commercial projects. There are also minimum permit fees of $500 for residential projects and $1,500 for commercial projects. These minimums occasionally result in disproportionately-high permit fees for small, relatively minor projects. For example, a $5,000 residential alteration project incurs a minimum permit fee of $500 (10% of the project cost). Applying the minimum fees has resulted in 72 addition, alteration, and remodeling projects with permit fees greater than 5% of the project cost since April 21, 2025. If the Board would like to reduce minimum permit fees for small projects, staff recommends reducing the minimum fees to $150 for residential projects and $300 for commercial projects to better align fees with the proposed scope of work. This would affect residential projects below $12,000 and commercial projects below $15,000, above which the standard 1.25% and 2% fee percentages would still apply. Page 20 of 22 Historic Preservation Incentive Program Staff also recommends amending the language for fee waivers associated with the Historic Preservation Incentive Program to clarify that demolition permits for single-family homes are not eligible for the fee waiver. Demolition Permits Per the Village Board workshop discussion on May 18, 2026, the ordinance that will be presented to the Village Board will include an increase in the demolition permit fee for single family homes from $625 or $775 (depending on the size of the home) to $7,500. The existing demolition tax of $550 for any structure greater than 1,000 square feet would remain as-is. Permit Type Current Fee Proposed Fee Single-family dwelling $625 if <1,000sf; $775 if 1,000-4,000sf; $7,500 $2,100 if >4,000sf Accessory structures (other than $80 No change detached garages) Other structures (including detached $625 if <1,000sf; $775 if 1,000-4,000sf; No change garages) $2,100 if >4,000sf Interior demolition $210 No change Flat-Rate Permits Staff has identified several permit types where the current fees do not cover the costs of the associated plan reviews and inspections. Permit Type Current Fee Recommended Fee Accessory structures $100 Use the same fee schedule as for new buildings (1% of project cost for residential, 1.15% of project costs for commercial) Drain tile, exterior drainage, $100 Use the same fee schedule as for additions, and sump pump/pit alterations, and remodeling (1.5% of project cost for residential, 2% of project costs for commercial) Commercial HVAC $155 Use the same fee schedule as for additions, alterations, and remodeling (2% of project costs) Windows & exterior doors $80 Use the same fee schedule as for additions, alterations, and remodeling (1.5% of project cost for residential, 2% of project costs for commercial) In-ground swimming pools $270 $500 Page 21 of 22 Budget Impact: Possible increase in collection fees.
