Maywood trustees approve vehicle-license exception for village vehicles, ask staff to explore housing Regional Enterprise Zone office
Summary
Trustees amended parking-scofflaw rules to let village-registered vehicles buy vehicle licenses, approved a press release, directed staff to explore hosting the Regional Enterprise Zone office, and heard presentations on a Roosevelt Road water project and cannabis opt-in options (no ordinance taken).
The Village of Maywood Board on Nov. 6 approved an amendment to Chapter 72, Section 72.04 (Parking Scofflaw) to permit vehicles registered to the Village to purchase a vehicle license even if the vehicle is listed as a parking scofflaw. Finance Director Lanya Satchell recommended the change; Trustee A. Sanchez moved and Trustee Isiah Brandon seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
The board also approved issuing a public notification to announce the vehicle-license amendment. Finance staff will prepare the press release and handle public outreach.
Mayor Edwenna Perkins asked staff to explore options to house the Regional Enterprise Zone office and directed staff to draft any necessary intergovernmental agreements; Trustee Nathaniel Booker moved the directive and the motion passed unanimously. The board received no final agreement at the meeting — staff was directed to return with options.
Village staff presented several informational items. Village Engineer William Peterhansen reviewed the Roosevelt Road Water Service Transfer Project (Roosevelt Road from 10th Avenue to 1st Avenue) and the proposed design and construction engineering services agreement; the presentation was for information and generated trustee comment but no vote on project contracts at this specific presentation. Planning/Zoning Officer Edgar Lara gave a PowerPoint overview of options for "opting in" to allow retail sale of marijuana and related medical and cannabis uses; no ordinance was proposed or voted on at this meeting.
What happens next Finance will prepare and distribute the press release about the vehicle-license amendment. Staff will return to the board with options and draft intergovernmental agreements related to hosting the Regional Enterprise Zone office. Any ordinance to allow retail cannabis sales would require separate introduction and a formal vote at a future meeting; the minutes record the presentation only.
