Title
Ordinance Amending Title 6 Chapter 10 of the Village Code- Ordinance
History
The police department is requesting to add four additional state statutes to Title 6, Chapter 10 of the Village Code that would allow for impoundment of offending vehicles as follows:
1) 625 ILCS 5/11-401(a); Motor Vehicle Accidents Involving Death or Personal Injury
2) 625 ILCS 5/11-402(a); Motor Vehicle Accidents Involving Damage to Vehicle
3) 235 ILCS 5/6-20; Illegal Possession or Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor
4) 720 ILCS 5/11-9(a)(2); Public Indecency
Items one and two would be utilized when the driver leaves the scene of the accident and abandons the vehicle. Numbers three and four would be utilized only if the driver of the vehicle is in violation of the statute. Number three will also be for consumption charges only.
Financial Impact
The addition of these four statutes to our village ordinance may increase impoundment revenue by a few thousand dollars per year.
