VII. Village Manager Reports  
ID 22-146  
F.  
Review of the Revised Village Board Meeting Calendars for May, June and  
July 2022  
Village Manager Kevin Jackson gave an overview of the Board meeting  
calendars for May, June, and July.  
Human Resource Director/ Assistant Village Manager Kira Tchang then  
gave an update on recruitment for the Equity position which has been  
re-titled to Chief Diversity and Equity Inclusion Officer position.  
Village Trustee Walker-Peddakotla requested clarification if they should  
hire a recruiting firm to assist finding candidates for the Chief Diversity and  
Equity Inclusion Officer position.  
Human Resource Director/ Assistant Village Manager Tchang responded  
they are already seeing a higher number of qualified candidates apply after  
the update in the position title which is a more senior position and comes  
with an enhanced pay grade from the previous posting.  
Village Trustee Enyia requested clarification on when the position will be  
filled.  
Human Resource Director/ Assistant Village Manager Tchang responded  
as soon as possible, especially since there is a great deal of urgency  
around the work.  
Village Trustee Taglia requested clarification on the difference in salary  
range, and if Board direction would be needed.  
Human Resource Director/ Assistant Village Manager Tchang responded  
the position is in the next pay grade from the previous posting due to the  
additional complexity and responsibility of the role. It does not change the  
budget that has been allocated for the position as the previous role was  
budgeted for a full year and at this point the position might be filled for only  
one half a year.  
Village Manager Jackson added staff will provide more detail of the  
difference in the two positions to the Board.  
Village Manager Jackson then introduced Interim Police Chief Shatonya  
Johnson who gave an update on the license plate camera policy.  
Village Manager Jackson then gave an overview of how the Citizens Police  
Oversight Committee (CPOC) will be utilized to review the monthly reports  
from the license plate readers.  
Village Attorney Paul Stephanides confirmed, based on article thirty in  
chapter two of the village code, for CPOC, the committee is empowered to  
meet with and provide written reports to the Village Board or such standing  
or ad hoc committee of the Village Board as the Village Board may  
designate.  
VIII. Village Board Committees  
Village Trustee Buchanan mentioned there will be a village symposium  
sponsored by iGov on May 21 at Brooks Middle School in the morning. The  
topic will be Government 101 where the community can learn about all the  
taxing bodies, what they are responsible for, and for the community to learn  
more about how local government works.  
Village Trustee Buchanan reminded the community that the Wednesday  
Journal has a monthly climate column and each of the taxing bodies writes  
about various topics including what they are doing to mitigate climate  
change.

Village Manager Jackson introduced the Item.  
John Wielebnicki, Director of Public Works, then gave background and an  
overview for this Item.  
Village Trustee Buchanan requested clarification on if this vendor uses gas  
powered leaf blowers.  
Director Wielebnicki responded in the affirmative, adding the vendor is in  
compliance with the village code for the use of gas powered leaf blowers.  
Village Trustee Buchanan commented they have no problem with the  
request for an increase in the contract pricing and understands the costs  
that would be incurred by the vendor to move to electric powered  
equipment. They will be voting "no" on this request though as they cannot  
vote for anything that approves the use of something that is as polluting as  
gas powered leaf blowers.  
Village Trustee Robinson expressed concern that this environmental piece  
intersects with an equity piece and the impact on minority businesses.  
There are multiple issues and Board goals that intersect on this topic, and  
they do not want the Board to miss the intersection between the impact on  
diversity, inclusion, and equity as it relates to minority business owners and  
sustainability.  
Village Trustee Enyia requested clarification on if the village could provide  
funds for the vendor to move to electric powered equipment.  
Director Wielebnicki responded the cost to purchase the equipment is a  
ball park figure and would require a budget amendment. Staff could submit  
the budget amendment in July at the Board's direction.  
It was moved by Village Trustee Parakkat, seconded by Village Trustee  
Buchanan, that this Resolution be adopted. The motion was approved. The roll

Discussion and Review of Village Staff’s Previous Recommendation to Use  
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds to Purchase Portable Public  
Restrooms for Downtown Oak Park and Village’s Staff Revised  
Recommendation to Use Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)  
Funds as an Alternate Funding Source for Said Purchase and a Motion to  
Approve Staff’s Recommendation to Use CDBG Funds and Direct Staff to  
Prepare the Necessary Documents  
Village Manager Jackson introduced the Item.  
Tammie Grossman, Director of Development Customer Services, then  
gave background and an overview of this Item.  
Village Trustee Walker-Peddakotla requested clarification on the long-term  
plans for operating bathrooms in the Metra station.  
Director Wielebnicki responded although the lease with Metra has expired,  
there is a full-time person maintaining the Metra station. Staff is working on  
securing a successor agreement with Metra as Metra generally does not  
take maintenance responsibility for the stations. Staff needs to work  
through the Metra agreement issues first and then they can proceed with  
developing a long-term plan.  
Village Trustee Robinson requested clarification regarding where these  
would be located.  
Director Grossman responded staff has identified a couple different  
locations including Lot 10, where Careful Peach is located, or along the  
train station on North Boulevard.  
Village Trustee Robinson requested clarification on if there has been any  
input from any of the businesses or residences near the potential locations,  
and if there needs to be an increase in police patrols if these units are to  
be accessible 24 hours a day.  
Director Grossman responded the reason they are looking at the potential  
locations are their proximity to the police substations. Staff could also  
include the security at the nearby garages to monitor the bathrooms as part  
of their contract.  
Village Trustee Parakkat requested clarification on if the ongoing  
maintenance costs would be covered from CDBG funds.  
Director Grossman responded the ongoing maintenance costs are not  
eligible CDBG expenses and would need to be budgeted in the general  
revenue fund.  
Village Trustee Parakkat requested clarification on if there would be a way  
to make the ongoing maintenance expense cost neutral for the community,  
and what would the success metrics be for this.  
Director Grossman responded they have not explored that option. Currently  
there are expenses related to cleaning the alleys and other areas being  
used as bathrooms and believes those costs would be pretty even with the  
ongoing maintenance for these units. Staff can try to pull those  
comparables for the Board.  
Village Trustee Walker-Peddakotla commented this is about dignity of  
human life at its basic core level. They disagree there would be a need for  
increased police patrols especially given downtown Oak Park is one ot the  
most heavily policed areas in Oak Park already. There are no success  
metrics to this. Sometimes it is just the right thing to do.  
Village Trustee Robinson commented given the cost of the units and the  
experience of other cities they feel it is appropriate to ask about safety and  
remediate any potential downsides or negative drawbacks to this. There  
needs to be a full conversation that vets the issues and guards against  
anything that could potentially not make this decision as successful as  
possible.  
Village President Scaman stated the discussion tonight is if staff is being  
directed to use CDBG funds versus ARPA funds, and for staff to bring back  
to the Board their findings on all the concerns raised on one agenda item.  
Village Trustee Parakkat expressed concerns of building up costs in the  
budget and in turn making the community less affordable. They are not  
against this idea but would like to find balance and would like the Board to  
think though all aspects of the solution and how it impacts the broader  
community.  
Village Trustee Taglia expressed his support of this idea and of using  
CDBG funds for it. He does share safety concerns, but in regards to the  
safety of the homeless population accidently overdosing and not being  
attended to in a timely manor due to locking the door. He would like to  
ensure the security and safety as it relates to the design and  
implementation of these washrooms.  
It was moved by Village Trustee Walker-Peddakotla, seconded by Village Trustee  
Parakkat, to approve the Motion. The motion was approved. The roll call on the
