Oak Forest staff presents draft filming policy; council to review before vote
Summary
City Administrator Moses Amidei presented a draft ordinance and policy to formalize commercial filming procedures after ad hoc accommodations for productions such as 'Chicago Fire'; the item was for discussion only and will return to a future agenda if no changes are requested.
City Administrator Moses Amidei presented a draft ordinance and operational policy to govern commercial filming in Oak Forest, saying the draft "was developed using the city's current practices and policies from other municipalities and is presented for future consideration." He noted that the city has previously accommodated film productions under existing procedures—insurance, waivers, operational coordination, and cost reimbursement—but lacks a formal citywide filming ordinance.
Council members asked no questions at the meeting; Amidei said that if he receives no feedback the item will be placed on a future agenda for formal consideration. The presentation did not include a vote and no direction beyond seeking any council feedback was recorded.
