Village Trustee Walker-Peddakotla stated that while Village Trustees get to
vote on Village commission and committee appointments made by the
Village President, they do not have any other input on those appointments.
She noted that Village Trustees do not have input on the actual
appointments. She said the appointment process needs more insight and
input. She provided the example that The Citizen Police Oversight
Commission (CPOC) members did not have input on who was appointed
as the Chair of The Citizen Police Oversight Commission (CPOC) during
this meeting. She encouraged an appointment process that considers
those already serving as commissioners and takes into account the Village
Board goals.

best way to do this moving forward.
Village Trustee Andrews recommended his colleagues provide a formal
proposal to improve the appointment process for which the Village Board
can vote to approve, deny or amend.

process.

R. MOT 20-067 A Motion to Adopt the Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (2021-2025) as
Reviewed and Discussed by the Village Board on October 12, 2020
Village Trustee Boutet requested that item R be removed from the consent

Village of Oak Park Page 8 Printed on 1/19/2021
President and Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes December 7, 2020
to year under the capital improvement plan revenue sources enterprise
fund.
Village Manager Pavlicek explained that the water user fee is set by
ordinance by the Village Board. This revenue is from water revenue
collections for both the water and sewer fee. She explained that the Village
Board did not change the rates this year. Two years ago the Village Board
approved a modest multi-year increase. The increase also reflects a pass
along from the City of Chicago increases.
Chief Financial Officer Steven Drazner confirmed that on the executive
summary for the capital improvement plan, the user fees are not actually
user fees, they are an offset to the water capital expenditures listed below
it, which nets to zero.
It was moved by Village Trustee Andrews, seconded by Village Trustee Boutet
that this Motion be approved. The motion was approved. The roll call on the
vote was as follows:

S. ORD 20-122 An Ordinance Amending the Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Budget
Village Trustee Boutet asked if the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security (CARES) Act money will offset some of the costs related to
COVID?
Village Manager Pavlicek responded that the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) CARES money has been distributed to other
organizations, such as the not-for-profit and the business community. A
modest amount has been retained to cover administrative costs which
covers the work of processing those funds with the Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The Village's current application is to cover overtime
in the Fire Department due to COVID. She mentioned that none of the
Village's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) applications
have been approved.
There was further discussion which clarified the proposed ordinance to
amend $975,000 which is needed to increase the budget to pay the City of
Chicago water bills. This one requested amendment is needed as the
result of higher water usage (as more people are home during the
pandemic) as well as a fairly large water leak. The exact extent of the water
loss will be tabulated a few months into the next calendar year once all the
Village of Oak Park Page 9 Printed on 1/19/2021
President and Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes December 7, 2020
fiscal year 2020 bills are paid and all water billing cycles for the current
year have been processed and mailed out to customers.

AK. ORD 20-112 An Ordinance Adopting the Budget for All Corporate Purposes of the
Village of Oak Park, Cook County, Illinois in Lieu of the Appropriation
Ordinance for the Fiscal Year Commencing on the First Day of January, 2021
and Ending on the Thirty-First Day of December, 2021
Village Trustee Walker-Peddakotla stated that budgets are moral
documents which outline priorities for the village. She expressed her
gratitude to staff for presenting the Board with a balanced budget. She
mentioned groups like Oak Park Mutual Aid (OPMA) are stepping up to
help people who are housing and food insecure. She believes those are
disparities which the Village needs to address, that the Village has not
addressed. She also said very little has been done with the police
department budget, despite the civil rights movement of 2020. She stated
calls to de-fund the police are calls to rewrite the priorities of the village
budget so spending aligns with the need of the community.
Village Trustee Boutet said she would like to start the budget process
earlier to allow for more robust conversations pertaining to the budget.
Village Trustee Buchanan reviewed the work plan on policing and she
found it disappointing that there is no mention of the civil rights movement
of 2020 in the accomplishments or the work plan.
Village Trustee Moroney thanked staff for putting together this budget. He
said staff proactively communicated the challenges and provided solutions
and pathways to help the village deal with challenges since March. He
mentioned this budget balances the needs of the community and the ability
to pay for everything.
Village President Abu-Taleb stated that if a budget fails, that means the
government would shut down. He reiterated that the Village Board must
recognize their role is to serve the community as a whole.
It was moved by Village Trustee Taglia, seconded by Village Trustee Moroney,
that this Ordinance be adopted. The motion was approved. The roll call on the
vote was as follows:

AM. ORD 20-099 An Ordinance for the Levy and Assessment of Taxes in the Amount of
$450,000 for the 2020 Property Tax Year for Village of Oak Park Special
Service Area Number One
Village Trustee Boutet asked if every dollar we tax we give it to the Special
Service Area.
Village Manager confirmed it is now. When the Tax Increment Financing
(TIF) was in existence as part of the settlement agreement, there were
surplus funds distributed. Special Service Area One (SSA One) was one of
the taxing bodies that received those funds. There is a year to year
balancing process that occurs. Special Service Area One determines the
amount they want to retain in the fund balance as the Village draws down
on what accumulated during the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) and the final
close out of the downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF). This year they
received the total amount levied plus additional funding based on the
budget they submit, which is in accordance with the agreement adopted by
the Village Board with Downtown Oak Park.
Village Trustee Boutet thanked Downtown Oak Park as they do a great job
marketing the businesses in their area and hosting special events.
It was moved by Village Trustee Andrews, seconded by Village Trustee Moroney,
that this Ordinance be adopted. The motion was approved. The roll call on the

continue through fiscal year 2023, spreading it over a 5-year period.

XIII. Call to Board and Clerk
Village Clerk Scaman gave her condolences to the Trapani family. She
wished everyone a happy holiday season. She also sent her condolences
to those who are missing family either from loss or distance.
Village Trustee Boutet stated it is great to say goodbye to 2020. She
mentioned it has been a big year in many ways to learn and discuss racial
equity. She encourages the Village Board to not tell women when not to
talk. She said it is the feminist version of racial equity. She asked the
Village Board to reflect on that.
Village Trustee Walker-Peddakotla brought attention to a community
member who was harmed by anti-Muslim rhetoric. She stated it is one of
the most dangerous forms of hate-speech in America. She said this
community member received threats and urged that our community should
denounce this action. She reiterated that anti-Muslim rhetoric is dangerous.
Village Trustee Andrews shared that several weeks ago he lost one of his
former staff members to COVID. He encourages everyone to be diligent
and stay safe. He wished everyone a happy new year and happy holidays.
Village Trustee Buchanan begged people to continue to wear masks. She
urged people not to have people inside of their homes who are from
Village of Oak Park Page 12 Printed on 1/19/2021
President and Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes December 7, 2020
outside their homes.
Village Trustee Taglia expressed how thankful he is that this year is almost
over. The Village has a major undertaking to rollout the vaccine and
properly administered. He is thankful for staff and their dedication.
Village Trustee Moroney wished everyone happy holidays and hopes
everyone can unwind and get away from the grind of board work and staff
work.
Village President Abu-Taleb walked, ran and drove on Lake Street and
shared that it looks beautiful and Oak Park is open for business. He
thanked everyone for the work they do for the Village. He acknowledged
that they all share a common goal to serve the community. He wished
