The reinspection fees would increase from $50.00 to $100.00 for businesses requiring three or more reinspections for correction of non-critical violations. The fee for the second reinspection would remain at $50.00. This fee structure could be reconsidered by the Committee for additional increases in the future if warranted by the Health Department. It was the consensus of the Committee to also approve an increase in the maximum fine for P-tickets from $25.00 to $50.00 for health-related violations. The higher priced P-ticket would be issued to individuals or businesses for multiple citations for a continued offense(s). The Health Coordinator will work with the Village Attorney to develop the necessary ordinances to reflect the changes. Page 2 Holiday Liqhtinq Regulations It was the consensus of the Committee not to regulate lighting that remains on homes past the celebrated holiday. The Committee felt another ordinance was not needed at this time. Large items (snowmen, Santa, etc.) left on lawns and porches would continue to be regulated by the Nuisance Ordinance. Tobacco Control Ordinance Deputy Chief Lebert stated that sales of cigarettes to underage smokers are already controlled by an existing ordinance. Deputy Chief Lebert presented data that showed most cigarettes get into the hands of under age smokers through salespersons. There were no records of businesses filing complaints against under age smokers stealing cigarettes. Periodic sting operations are conducted to check for compliance with the present ordinance. The Committee directed the Village Attorney to draft a letter with Mayor Johnson's signature outlining the present efforts by the Village to control under age smokers acquiring cigarettes. The letter to be sent to the Tobacco Control Coalition of Northern Cook County. Motorist Cellular Phone Usage It was the consensus of the Committee not to regulate cellular phone usage by motorists. There are currently regulations that govern certain behaviors by motorists while driving. There is also pending legislation by the State of Illinois regarding this specific issue. Sheds as Secondary Accessory Structures The Department of Engineering and Community Development made a presentation summarizing a memo from Al Boffice recommending a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance as it pertains to the number of permitted accessory structures in residential zoning districts. The proposal would allow one storage shed, as defined by the Zoning Ordinance, in addition to one other permitted accessory structure. It was the consensus of the Committee to recommend that the Mayor and Board of Trustees direct the Plan Commission to hold a Public Hearing to consider this proposal as detailed in Mr. Boffice's memo of October 26, 2001.
