XII. Call to Board and Clerk
Village Trustee Boutet thanked those who commented about the Massage Ordinance.
She stated that the goal of the ordinance was to address illegal massage activity in the
Village and was not intended to make things difficult for the legitimate businesses. She
welcomed their input and was interested in follow-up by the Board. Regarding the
Prevailing Wage Ordinance, a municipality can either adopt what Cook County has set or
conduct their own wage assessment. That is a difficult analysis for a municipality to do.
Oak Park has historically relied on Cook County's assessment. Village Trustee Boutet
would also like to see the following items on the next agenda: the Beer Shop dog issue,
the animal limits in multi-family dwellings, anything that needs to be done for the 500 S.
Humphrey block and a report of any activities done to address concerns on North
Avenue.
Village Trustee Moroney thanked the massage professionals for letting the Board know
how the ordinance affects them. He would like to do something to help them out.
