Title
An Ordinance Amending Titles 1 and 2 of the Orland Park Village Code Regarding Boards, Commissions and Committees
History
Village Code Title 2, Chapter 1, Subsection 2-1-1 (f) states: Following each election cycle for the Village President, a review of existing advisory Boards and Commissions, and their affiliated not-for-profit entities, if any, shall be conducted by the Village President and Board of Trustees. Such review shall include the duties, responsibilities and by-laws to ensure relevance to current needs and direction for amendments as deemed appropriate.
As proposed, this ordinance eliminates the Recreation Advisory Board, the Housing Advisory Committee, the Veterans Commission, and the Technology Commission, several non-statutorily required boards and commissions. It also reconstitutes new boards and commissions.
The new and reconstituted advisory boards:
• Senior Citizen Advisory Board
• Young Families Advisory Board
• Sports Advisory Board
• Grounds and Recreation Facilities Advisory Board
• Recreation Programming Advisory Board
• Cultural Arts Advisory Board
• AI and Information Technology Advisory Board
• Conservation and Sustainability Advisory Board
• Economic Development Advisory Board
• Heritage Sites Advisory Board
• Veterans’ Advisory Board
• America 250 Committee
• Sister Cities Committee
If adopted as proposed, a full complement of members will be appointed at a future meeting. Then each newly established board and commission will meet and recommend duties and responsibilities to the Village Board within 60 days. The Village Board will then consider the recommendations and adopt one or more ordinances to reflect the desired mission statement, powers and duties, and bylaws.
The ordinance also creates the “America 250 Committee”. Given the limited duration and purpose of this committee, it would not be codified as the others contained in this ordinance.
