A RESOLUTION OF OBJECTION TO SENATE BILL 1828
RESTRICTING A MUNICIPALITY'S ABILITY TO ASSESS
AND COLLECT DEVELOPER EXACTIONS
WHEREAS, the Village of Lemont has responsibility for
planning, zoning, and development review for those properties
located both within the Village and in unincorporated areas within
1 1/2 miles of the corporate limits; and
WHEREAS, the Village has, in accordance with expressed
community concerns for balanced growth management, emphasized
appropriate infrastructure expansion with land development; and
WHEREAS, the Village has adopted an ordinance assessing
land /cash contributions to ensure that developers share the
responsibility for funding of infrastructure expansions caused by
their development projects; and
WHEREAS, Representative Charles Hartke has sponsored
legislation now known as Senate Bill 1828, entitled the
Infrastructure Expansion Act, with the stated purpose of setting
standards for local governments in assessing and collecting fees
and exactions on new development to finance infrastructure
expansion; and
WHEREAS, the proposed legislation would impose severe
restrictions on a municipality's ability to ensure that developers
contribute a fair share of the costs of development.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Board of
Trustees of the Village of Lemont, Counties of Cook, DuPage and
Will, State of Illinois, that the Village of Lemont hereby opposes
the adoption of Senate Bill 1828 as written.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Lemont Village Board fully
recognizes the need for a due process regarding the imposition of
any development exactions and endorses the process included in the
Illinois Statutes and our own municipal ordinances.
This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from after
its passage, approval and publication as provided by law.
PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE
