An Ordinance of the Village of Villa Park, DuPage County, Illinois, Amending Multiple Sections of Chapter 2 of the Villa Park Municipal Code Regarding the Villa Fest Commission and Sub-Committees This Ordinance would dissolve the Villa Fest Commission and amend the structure of sub-committees to allow the creation of a Villa Fest Sub-Committee of the Community F.U.N. Commission. These changes were recommended by the Community F.U.N. Commission Trustee Cordova read items stated in the new commission ordinance that this ordinance goes against. Changing rules from August to now is not transparent. Trustee Kumar asked why Villa Fest is being dismantled and being moved under the F.U.N. Commission. President Patrick explained the Summer Fest event and commission from the past. Also added how the experienced individuals from the F.U.N. Commission can help make Villa Fest a successful event. Trustee Kumar suggested that other committees could use that option of having a sub- committee and we should readdress this and allow others to be part of the sub- committees. Attorney Morton explained that the current ordinance does allow for sub-committees except for the Zoning Board of Appeals Committee. The language that prohibits commissions from working on a sub-committee never made it to the final version. It does say only one member from a committee could be on a sub-committee. Not multiple commissions, just a sub-committee. Trustee Alfano expressed that we keep an eye on this. She feels that 5 is not enough. Trustee Kumar agrees that there needs to be more people. President Patrick explained the application process to be a commissioner and what happens after the application is received. 11. Ordinance For Second Reading None 12. Ordinances a.

Director Guerra stated that the minimum is about 3 front line squads per year. He also stated that they do have a list of all the equipment that can be provided to the Board. It was asked how long does a car stay in the fleet? What happens to it afterwards? Director Guerra explained that it is about 5 years for a front line squad and they can be cycled down to other departments for use for up to about 13 years. Large trucks are about 20 years, fire trucks are about 21 years. We usually sell the disposed cars at auction.

This financing is for a term of three years with an anticipated interest rate of 4.5% and will allow the village to continue with its equipment replacement plan for 2026. This financing will allow the village to spread a reasonable cost over the next three years to minimize the impact to the 2026 budget.

President Patrick explained that the commission meeting minutes will give you the information you are looking for. The minutes are meant to be brief and generic and the detail is from the videos. Trustee Alfano stated that she thinks it is important that we know what the commissions are doing. We have board liaisons at the meetings, minutes and videos. Trustee Konstatos brought up the Alex Project that she would like the Village to look into. The project is collecting donated bags of hats, gloves, food, and personal care items and are handed out to the Police Departments. It is free for us, but would be good to put on our website, if we choose to participate. President Patrick suggested that we reach out to the commissions, the F.U.N. Commission deals with outreach programs. Director Mika spoke about 2 bonds that are on the residents’ tax bills. We have the opportunity to refinance these bonds and save money for the residents. 16.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: BACKGROUND: In 2024, the Village Board approved a Highway Authority Agreement with Finishline Investments and Properties, Inc. Finishline is attempting to address soil contamination from underground storage tanks at 44 W. St. Charles Road, which may extend into the Village's right-of-way. Finishline and the Village wish to prevent the use of groundwater in this location as a supply of potable or domestic water and to limit soil access to protect health and environment. To do so under the IEPA's guidance, they needed to entered into the HAA. The HAA lacked certain cost and liability protections, so some language was added to the model HAA to address those issues. The IEPA rejected what the Village Board had adopted, stating that any separate agreements needed to be supplemental to the official HAA. DISCUSSION: These two resolutions would adopt a supplemental HAA, to address reimbursement and liability for work in the Village's right-of-way, and the template HAA, in the exact form provided by the IEPA. The previous HAA from 2024 would be repealed.

(“Finishline” or “Owner/Operator”), and (2) the Village of Villa Park, Illinois, an Illinois municipal corporation (“Village”), collectively known as the (“Parties”). WHEREAS, the Village is willing to approve the standard Highway Authority Agreement with Finishline (“Highway Authority Agreement”) contingent upon the Parties entering into this supplemental agreement to address certain cost allocation and liability; WHEREAS, the Village finds it necessary to put this Supplemental Highway Authority Agreement (“Supplemental HAA”) into place to ensure the best interests of the Village are protected. NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: Section 1. Recitals. The recitals set forth above are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. Section 2. Village Work in ROW / Reimbursement. Finishline agrees that Village has the unfettered right to construct, reconstruct, repair or maintain and operate in its right-of- way and upon the property identified in the Highway Authority Agreement or to allow others to do the same. In furtherance therefore, the Village reserves the right to identify, investigate, and remove contaminated soil and/or groundwater above Tier 1 residential remediation objectives from the right-of-way identified in the Highway Authority Agreement and to dispose of them as it deems appropriate in accordance with applicable environmental regulations so as to avoid causing a further release of the contaminants and to protect human health and the environment. Finishline shall reimburse the actual costs incurred by the Village or others in so identifying, investigating, removing, storing, handling or disposing of contaminated soil and/or groundwater, and it shall not be a defense for Finishline that those costs were not consistent with or required by Illinois Pollution Control Board or United States Environmental Protection Agency regulations, guidelines or policies. Prior to incurring any such costs, and unless there is an urgent reason otherwise, the Village shall first give Finishline thirty (30) days’ notice and an opportunity to remove or dispose of contaminated soil and/or groundwater, at Finishline’s cost, to the extent necessary for the Village’s work. Such removal and disposal shall be in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Failure to give this opportunity to Finishline shall not be a defense to a claim for reimbursement or that the work should not have been done. There is a rebuttable presumption that the contamination found in the right-of-way, as described in Exhibit B to the Highway Authority Agreement, arose from the release of contaminants at the Site. Section 3. Indemnification. Finishline shall indemnify and hold harmless the Village, and other highway authorities, if any, maintaining the highway Right-of-Way, and the Village’s agents, contractors or employees (“Highway Authority parties”) from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, judgments and actions (including attorney’s fees and court Page 1 Page 57 of 150 costs), directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with the Releases and/or other contaminants from the right of way described in Exhibit C to the Highway Agreement (“Claims”), regardless whether said Claims were caused by the negligence, but not the gross negligence, of the Village or other Highway Authority parties, and regardless of whether said Claims relate to events allegedly caused before or after the effective date of the Highway Agreement and/or this Supplemental Agreement. In addition, Finishline shall indemnify and hold harmless the Village from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, judgments and actions (including attorney’s fees and court costs) directly or indirectly arising as result of the Highway Agreement and/or this Supplemental Agreement brought by any persons to whom the Village has granted a permit franchise prior to the date of this Agreement. Section 4. Binding Effect. This Supplemental HAA shall run with the land and be binding upon all assigns and successors in interest to the Owner/Operator of the Site. The Owner/ Operator shall cause copies of this agreement and the executed Highway Authority Agreement to be recorded in the office of the DuPage County Recorder of Deeds in the chain of title for the Site within 30 days of execution. Section 5. Severability. If any term or provision of this Supplemental HAA is held to be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statue or rule of law, such holding shall be applied only to the provision so held, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Section 6. Survival. Notwithstanding completion or termination of the Supplemental HAA for any reason, all rights, duties, obligations of the parties to this Supplemental HAA shall survive such completion or termination and remain in full force and effect until fulfilled. Section 7. Governing Law. This Supplemental HAA shall be governed by and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Illinois. Section 8. Joint Drafting. The Parties expressly agree that this agreement was jointly drafted, and that both had opportunity to negotiate its terms and to obtain the assistance of counsel in reviewing its terms prior to execution. Therefore, this agreement shall be construed neither against nor in favor of either Party, but shall be construed in a neutral manner. Section 9. Attorney Fees. In the event that any action is filed in relation to this agreement, the unsuccessful party in the action shall pay to the successful party, in addition to all the sums that either party may be called on to pay, a reasonable sum for the successful party's attorneys' fees. Section 10. Paragraph Headings. The titles to the paragraphs of this Supplemental HAA are solely for the convenience of the parties and shall not be used to explain, modify, simplify, or aid in the interpretation of the provisions of this agreement. Section 11. Counterparts. This Supplemental HAA may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument.

Page 83 of 150  Capital Projects Update February 18, 2026 Construction Updates Adams and Frank Resurfacing — A design engineering kick-off meeting was held the week of 02/09/2026. Design is currently underway. The design engineering consultant is coordinating with IDOT on steps related to MFT funding. The project is expected to be advertised for bidding in Spring of 2026. Highland (Princeton to Villa) — This project is fully complete and will no longer be included in future project updates. ICC Temporary Fire Station and Fire Station 81 Renovation and Abatement — Construction at Station 81 continues to move forward. Spaces at Station 81 are being framed and new spaces are beginning to take shape. Village staff meets bi-weekly with Lite Construction and Kluber Architects to ensure the project runs smoothly, issues are addressed quickly, and the project stays on track for completion. Parks staff continues to work closely with Fire to ensure needs are met throughout the projects. Jackson Area — Construction of the Jackson Area Improvement Project has achieved final completion. Staff has agreed to final quantities with the contractor. A final, balancing change order has been submitted for consideration at the 02/23/2026 Village Board meeting. Lactation / Quiet Room — Parks staff have completed the construction of the lactation space in the Public Works/Community and Economic Development office building at 11 W Home Ave. Furniture and a fridge were moved into the space in early February. This new space provides a private and comfortable nursing area. Lighting Improvement Projects — The Parks department is making lighting improvements at Village Hall, Police, and the Parks office and maintenance garage. Existing lighting at these buildings is being changed to better, more efficient, and brighter LED. Also, as these LEDs are better than existing lighting, we are able to reduce the number of fixtures in some locations while still improving lighting quality. Parks Office and Restroom — The Parks Department has completed improvements to staff break and work areas at 42 W Home Ave. Furniture was installed the week of February 16, and the room is being set up to return to normal operations. The restroom at 42 W Home Ave is still planned to be completed by contractor, staff are working to prepare information to bring before the Village Board in March for approval to proceed. These improvements will include appropriate spaces for custodial staff and supplies, as well as a new restroom facility. The restroom will have all new fixtures, walls, tile, paint, lighting, heating/cooling, plumbing, and electrical. Ridge Road Drainage (also known as the DCEO Drainage Improvement Project) — Construction work has achieved substantial completion. The only site work that remains is the completion of punch list 1 Page 84 of 150  items. A final balancing change order has been approved. Staff is now working to coordinate the completion of the punch list work and the closeout of the project. Sidewalk Program — Staff is currently working to close out the 2025 Sidewalk Program. Some punch list work was not completed before winter weather set in and must still take place when weather permits in the spring. Staff is working to prepare a final balancing change order for consideration at an upcoming Village Board meeting. Staff is also preparing for bidding of the upcoming 2026 Sidewalk Program. Village Hall Sewer Repairs — Village Hall has been experiencing sewer backups. Issues have been identified and staff are preparing for repair work to begin. Current underground plumbing at Village Hall will be changed to overhead plumbing to eliminate issues now and moving forward. Staff are working to coordinate the work and timeline with the contractor. Design & Planning Updates Ardmore (IL 38 to IL 64) — Phase 1 preliminary engineering is currently in progress. Staff held a meeting with the DuPage County Department of Transportation the week of 02/09/2026 for coordination pertaining to the two trail crossings located within the project limits (the Illinois Prairie Path and the Great Western Trail). The village expects to hold the first of several public information meetings for the project in the coming months after project base sheets have been prepared. The village has been awarded federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) grant funding for improvements to the Ardmore Avenue corridor from Roosevelt Road to North Avenue. Construction, which is still several years away, is expected to be completed as three separate projects, but per requirements established by IDOT, the Phase 1 study of the entire corridor will move forward as a single effort. Harvard and Jackson Resurfacing — Design of this project is underway. Bidding is expected to take place in the next few months, and construction is tentatively expected to begin after School District 45 lets out for summer break. Iowa and Michigan (Plymouth to Ridge) — Funding to complete the design of these improvements is budgeted in CY 2026. Staff is considering removing the water main replacement from the scope of the project, as the water system improvements require IEPA loan funding and eliminating the project’s reliance on that funding would significantly expedite the timeframe for breaking ground on construction. Park (Ardmore to Cornell) — Design of this project is underway. Construction is tentatively expected to begin after the 07/04/2026 holiday. Construction costs will be paid with Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds. Pavement Maintenance Programs — Public Works staff is planning another round of annual pavement maintenance programs for 2026. The exact scope and expected cost of those programs is yet to be determined but is tentatively expected to include at least some pavement resurfacing and some pavement rejuvenation. Other maintenance efforts will be undertaken as appropriate based on need and budget. 2 Page 85 of 150 Terrace Alley (Princeton to Ardmore) — Staff met the week of 02/09/2026 with all but one of the property owners of the apartment buildings along the south side of the alley to make them aware of the proposed alley improvements and to discuss the details of the project. Design of those alley improvements is nearing completion. Project costs are expected to be paid with Ardmore TIF funds. Villa (Wildwood to IL 64) — Design of this project is underway. The project is expected to receive federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) grant funding for a portion of the cost of construction and construction engineering. Washington Sewer Separation Section 2 — Design of this project is underway. Staff holds regular progress meetings with the design engineering consultant. The village is seeking low-interest loan funding from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) for the combined sewer separation efforts that are a necessary part of the scope of the project. After submitting an IEPA loan planning application for the project last year, the village is getting close to obtaining that planning approval. Even after the planning approval has been granted, there will still be remaining steps required for obtaining approval of the loan itself. Because the loan process is competitive and lengthy, it will be the controlling factor for determining when the project will go to construction. Westmore & Wisconsin — Design of this project is in progress. The village is seeking low-interest loan funding from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) for the combined sewer separation efforts that are a necessary part of the scope of the project. Because obtaining loan funding is a competitive and lengthy process, it will be the controlling factor for determining when the project will go to construction. Staff is currently working to prepare the IEPA loan planning application for the project, which will be submitted to the IEPA for review upon completion. Yale (Jackson to Madison) — Staff is working to complete design for this project. Construction is tentatively planned to take place in 2026. 3 Page 86 of 150 Page 87 of 150 Page 88 of 150 Page 89 of 150 Page 90 of 150 Page 91 of 150  RECREATION REPORT JANUARY 2026 Programs Staff is Working with NEDSRA to start providing programming for Veterans such as cooking classes and tailored group fitness classes.

Summer Concert Series Due to the construction of the Union, our Summer Concert Series will be moving to the Ruggard Gazebo on the Prairie Path. Staff are finalizing the bands for June and August. Staff met with the VFW to discuss moving the concert series to the Gazebo. We will be reaching out to the Chamber to discuss potentially using their building for concert storage. Rentals Staff have been discussing updating the rental procedures for the VPRC. We are trying to get away from using paper documents and moving instead to digital forms. Staff gave a tour to a potential long-term renter for use of the multipurpose room. Communications Communications Specialist actively promoted Parks & Recreation programs and events through Instagram and Facebook, attending multiple programs and events to capture photos. An informational campaign was led across email and social media to inform VPRC members about the Union Villa Park construction site, including potential impacts on traffic approaching and leaving the facility. Communications Specialist also managed the formatting and posting of job applications for eight new seasonal aquatics positions in preparation for summer staffing. Communications Specialist developed a year-long schedule for seasonal brochure production and coordinated with Parks & Rec staff and the brochure designer to ensure proper planning for the year ahead. Communications Specialist developed a sponsorship and advertising program, which included drafting a sponsorship packet and letters for major upcoming events, as well as compiling a list of over 200 local business contacts for outreach. Page 92 of 150 Communications Specialist maintained media relations with the Villa Park Review, resulting in photos from Birthday Bunch & Lunch, Donut Bingo, and Candy Cane Hunt programs being published in the newspaper, including a feature on the front cover. VPRC Fitness Center A total of 427 people attended group fitness classes in January, demonstrating strong community engagement and continued interest in our fitness programming at the start of 2026.

Under this ordinance, one-third of the revenue would be allocated toward the construction and operation of a new community swimming pool. This is not a new tax. This is a first reading. BACKGROUND: On November 11, 2019, the Village Board considered an ordinance on first reading that would impose a 3% municipal retailers' occupation tax on the sale of cannabis, in preparation for the eventual legalization of cannabis sales within the Village. The Board debated several proposed uses of that cannabis tax revenue, ultimately voting to direct 2% to the Police and Fire Pension Funds and 1% to "a Parks and Recreation recreation facility and pools," according to the minutes of that meeting. Ordinance No. 4118 was then presented and adopted on November 25, 2019. However, the ordinance did not codify the allocation that had previously been approved. Despite the language not being in the codified ordinance, the Village has been applying the cannabis tax revenues as intended. DISCUSSION: This amendment to the Village Code is necessary to codify the Village Board's original intent for the cannabis retailer's occupation tax. Under this additional paragraph, one-third of the tax (1% of sales) would go toward the Police Pension Fund, and one-third (1%) would go to the Firefighters Pension Fund. Per the Board's recent direction, the remaining third would be changed to support the construction and operation of a swimming pool, separate from the Jefferson Pool.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of Villa Park, DuPage County, Illinois, as follows: Section 1: The facts and statements contained in the preambles to this Ordinance are found to be true and correct and are hereby adopted as part of this Ordinance. Section 2: Article XII (“Retailers’ Occupation Tax”) of Chapter 23 (“Taxation”) of the Villa Park Municipal Code is hereby amended by adding the following underlined language: ARTICLE XII. – RETAILERS’ OCCUPATION TAX *** Sec. 23-1203. – Disposition of tax proceeds The amounts collected by the Village of Villa Park pursuant to this article shall be segregated into three separate funds as provided herein. One-third (1/3) of the tax proceeds shall be deposited into a designated Police Pension Cannabis Tax Fund, and monies contained in said fund shall be expended by the Village of Villa Park solely as part of the Village’s annual contribution to the Villa Park Police Pension Fund. One-third (1/3) of the tax proceeds shall be deposited into a designated Fire Pension Cannabis Tax Fund, and monies contained in said fund shall be expended by the Village of Villa Park solely as part of the Village’s annual contribution to the Villa Park Firefighters’ Pension Fund. One-third (1/3) of the tax proceeds shall be deposited into a designated Swimming Pool Cannabis Tax Fund, and monies contained in said fund shall be expended by the Village of Villa Park solely to support the construction and operation of a second swimming pool within the Village of Villa Park.

Section 3: If any section, paragraph, clause, or provision of this Ordinance shall be held invalid, the invalidity thereof shall not affect any other provision of this Ordinance.

Wildwood Ave from Villa Ave to S. Myrtle Ave and on east side of S. Myrtle Ave from Wildwood Ave to Wildwood. This will allow for greater access along Wildwood as these portions of the roadway will be reduced with the construction of Union Development and the VPRC. BACKGROUND: The Union Development Site plan was approved with the modifications to Wildwood Ave to align the south curb line to be in line with the original road to allow for the construction of the multi-use path along the south side of Wildwood from Villa Ave to Myrtle Ave. This will reduce the width of the roadway to 20 ft to match other local roads in the Village. With the construction of the VPRC and the proposed public parking entrance and exit for the Union Development, the proposed traffic will be increased on Wildwood and Myrtle. The combination of the decreased width of Wildwood and the increased traffic on Wildwood makes on-street parking on Wildwood undesirable for safety and the efficient movement of the traffic on the street. Currently, Myrtle Ave from Wildwood to Wildwood was designed to have pulling in angled parking in the street Right of Way. The proposed Union development will remove this pull-in parking and have the entrance and exit to the private residential parking garage, thus eliminating the space for on- street parking on this portion of Myrtle Ave. DISCUSSION: Page 100 of 150  Vill age of Villa Park 20 South Ardmore Avenue, Villa Park, Illinois 60181 To: Village of Villa Park Board of Trustees From: Marianne Gonzales, Plan Commission Chairperson Re: Plan Commission Item 9a. Recommendation of No Parking on the north side of Wildwood from Villa Ave to Myrtle Ave and Myrtle Ave. from Wildwood to Wildwood. Recommendation: To approve an ordinance for NO PARKING along the North side of Wildwood from Villa Ave to Myrtle Ave and east side of Myrtle from Wildwood to Wildwood. Meeting Date: December I71h,2025 Background and Supporting Documentation: The Union development is planning on construction of a new seven (7)-story apartment complex at 100-110 S. Villa (old AK Mulch and Village parking lot site) in the next few months. As part of this development, it will bring additional traffic as its approved entrances are off Wildwood and Myrtle Ave. In addition, it will remove the current "bump in" spaces that were used for parking to allow for the construction of the remaining leg of the Tri-Trail multi-use path. This will reduce the Wildwood and Myrtle to the standard street width of 22 feet. By restoring the street to its original width of 22 ft., the amount available space for on-street parking is limited to safely allow 2-way traffic on Wildwood and Myrtle. With additional traffic from the VPRC and the proposed Union development, restricting the on-street parking will allow for safer movements of traffic. Benefits to the Villase: The Benefits to the Village would be safer and more efficient vehicle traffic and better sight distance for traffic entering and exiting the existing and proposed parking lots. Comprehensive Plan Goal: This recommendation will assist the Comprehensive Plan Goal of Transportation and Mobility 04-05 to monitor traffic patterns on local roadways. With the change in use and proposed development, the traffic pattern will change in this area. Anticipated Impact: The reduction of six (6) street stalls along the northern portion of Wildwood Ave. from Villa to Myrtle. The existing parking stalls on Myrtle from Wildwood to Wildwood have already been approved to be removed as part of the Union Development site plan.

Background: The Village charges residents and non-residents a fee for emergency medical services based on the annual Ground Emergency Medical Transport (GEMT) cost report, which currently reflects a cost of $3,555.00 per transport. The existing rate structure is set at 50 percent of the GEMT cost report for residents and 75 percent for non-residents, resulting in fees of $1,777.50 and $2,666.25, respectively. The GEMT program is a federally funded initiative that allows ambulance providers to receive supplemental reimbursement above standard Medicaid rates. In Villa Park, GEMT reimbursements account for approximately 62 percent of total ambulance billing revenue. Discussion: The GEMT cost report provides an objective and reliable assessment of the actual cost of delivering emergency medical treatment and transportation services. Increasing the billing rate to 100 percent of the GEMT cost report would generate additional revenue to help offset rising operational expenses, including increased staffing requirements within the Fire Department. Establishing a consistent billing rate for all transports also minimizes compliance risk and helps ensure continued eligibility for supplemental funding through the GEMT program. An analysis of the Village’s current ambulance rate structure indicates that the proposed rate is consistent with fees charged by neighboring communities, as illustrated in the table below. Department Resident Rate Non-Resident Rate Lombard 2,672.39 2,969.32 Oakbrook Terrace 2,909.80 2,909.80 Addison 3,264.00 3,264.00 Elmhurst 3,486.60 3,873.98 Villa Park 3,555.00 3,555.00 York Center 3,734.00 3,734.00 Wood Dale 5,116.05 5,776.13 Itasca 5,390.00 5,390.00 Page 109 of 150 Recommended Action: Staff respectfully recommend approval of an increase in ambulance rates for both residents and non-residents to reflect the full GEMT cost report amount of $3,555.00 per transport. The proposed action also authorizes annual adjustments to ambulance service rates without further Village Board action, pursuant to the annual report submitted for the previous year to the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) and/or the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of the Ground Emergency Transport Program (GEMT) reflecting the actual cost incurred for transport of residents and nonresidents. In the event the annual calculated fee for the upcoming year is less than the current fee being assessed, the current fee shall be assessed for the following calendar year.

Commission. These changes were recommended by the Community F.U.N. Commission. BACKGROUND: The Village Board established the Villa Fest Commission last year, but not all commissioners have been appointed, so no meeting has occurred. The Community F.U.N. Commission formally suggested at their January 27, 2026 meeting that it would be better for the Villa Fest Commission to be a sub-committee of the Community F.U.N. Commission. This would allow sharing of resources and best practices from other events. DISCUSSION: In addition to dissolving the Villa Fest Commission (Article XXII), this Ordinance also makes other changes to the Villa Park Municipal Code consistent with the Community F.U.N. Commission's recommendation. References to "task forces" are replaced with "sub-committees" for each commission (except the Zoning Board of Appeals, which should not have any sub-committees). Additionally, the requirement that all sub-committee members be non-commissioners has been lifted to allow up to 2 commissioners to serve on a 5-person sub-committee. This will help both in recruitment of committee members and sharing of knowledge and resources.

It is our recommendation that the term “Task Force” be replaced with “Sub- Commission” throughout Ch 2 of the village ordinances. It is our commission members’ opinion that the term “task force” is too aggressive and the term “Sub-Commission” better describes the nature of the activities; 2. It is our recommendation that the Villa Fest Commission be dissolved; 3. It is our recommendation that the Fun commission have a sub commission created to be called the Villa Fest sub commission. Such commission should have 5 members with no more than 2 being current Fun commission members and should meet at 7pm on the fourth Tuesday of every month, following the Fun commission regular meeting; It is the feeling of the commission members that we can better share resources and best practices to the Villa Fest sub-commission from the other events we already plan and execute such as Kites and Kicks and the Autumn Jubilee. These recommendations were discussed at our commission meeting on January 27th and formally voted on by our commission members on that day. The vote in support was unanimous and all current members were in attendance.

Could we ask those contractors if they would be willing to do senior discounts? k.
