Police chief urges disorderly-conduct amendment and proposes rental ordinance for repeat-problem properties
Summary
Police Chief Jacob Frund asked the board to consider amending the disorderly conduct ordinance and to adopt a rental ordinance to hold landlords responsible for tenants who generate frequent police calls; the board discussed grant options to fund enforcement.
Police Chief Jacob Frund reported the village has applied for an additional STEP/safety grant following prior funding for a LIDAR unit. He said the STEP grant would cover officers’ wages during designated enforcement periods while allowing the village to retain fines collected from citations.
Chief Frund described rising volatility in incidents and requested council consideration of two policy responses: amending the disorderly conduct ordinance to address increasingly volatile incidents, and adopting a rental ordinance that would notify landlords and hold them accountable when tenants generate repeated police calls. Trustees heard the requests and discussed the proposal; no vote or ordinance text was adopted at the meeting.
