VI. RECOGNITIONS AND PRESENTATIONS
VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS
VIII. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
IX. OLD BUSINESS
A. Consideration of the Recommendation from the Building Code Review Board meeting of October 25, 2019 regarding adoption of the 2018 International Residential Code
Approved
Mr. Recklaus said after reviews from staff and the Building Code Review Board (BCRB) the following motions are being presented from the Committee of the Whole meeting last Monday to update the Village’s Building Code. This section of the Code has not been updated in a decade.
The changes were discussed by the BCRB prior to their presentation to the
Village Board. The Ordinances are now being prepared by the Legal Department. The Code is a very technical document which is why there is a BCRB formed of experts in the trades to review it. The Ordinances will be on a Board agenda for adoption in early 2020.
Resident Keith Moens said the motion by Trustee Schwingbeck was confusing to him. He thought the Board was excepting the elimination of the roofing permits meaning the sprinklers were out, but the roofing permits are still in.
Mr. Recklaus said the motion was meant to adopt the staff’s recommendations which included the sprinkler change. The Board wanted to consider the roofing permits separately.
Ms. Ward said the Board considered the International Residential Code (IRC) in two pieces. The first piece approved the staff recommendations excluding the roofing process, the second piece took up the roofing process. The first motion addresses the IRC except for roofing, the second motion addresses roofing. She said the will of the Board is reflected in the motions and will be in the Ordinances when they come forward.
Mr. Recklaus said ultimately the Board supported the staff recommendations after both votes were taken. This discussion on clarity of the motion should satisfy Mr. Moens’ question.
Mr. Moens argued the semantics of the motion are not clear. He thinks the language of the second motion undoes the first one.
Trustee Scaletta said it was very clear if you were present at the meeting and Mr. Moens was there. There was a discussion of the roofing issue. The Board did not deny the staff recommendations, the Trustees wanted to discuss and vote on the roofing issue separately from the rest of the IRC.
Trustee Tom Schwingbeck moved to adopt the 2018 International Residential Code in accordance with Staff's recommended amendments, except for the elimination of the roofing permits. Trustee John Scaletta
Seconded the Motion.
The Motion: Passed
Ayes: Canty, Hayes, LaBedz, Padovani, Rosenberg, Scaletta, Schwingbeck, Tinaglia
Absent: Baldino
Trustee John Scaletta moved to eliminate the roof permit process and ask Staff to report back with the progress of the elimination of it, in one year of the effective date. Trustee Jim Tinaglia Seconded the Motion.

Ayes: Canty, Hayes, LaBedz, Padovani, Rosenberg, Scaletta, Tinaglia

XI. APPROVAL OF BIDS
XII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Metropolis Performing Arts Centre - 111 W.
Campbell St. - Sign Variation - DC#19-095
Metropolis Board President Stephen Daday said the proposed marquee is anticipated to increase revenues of 10-15%. Neil Scheufler said the sign will be transformational. It will be 26’ wide and be 9’ above the sidewalk.
The lights are fully dimmable and the electronic screens auto light adjust.
The underside lighting will stay on an hour after the Ale House closes for safety reasons. The marquee will go dark at 11 p.m. No negative resident feedback has been received. They are requesting two variances, one for an electronic sign, the other to allow sponsors on the marquee. Sponsorship information will not exceed 10% of the total message.
Mr. Perkins said a marquee sign is allowed for a downtown sign for a theater. The sponsor ships will be done tastefully. Both the Design Commission and Staff recommend approval. The sign does not hang over the street at all and only projects halfway across the sidewalk. President Hayes said the marquee is a long time coming. It will enhance the Theater and the Downtown. He said he was 100% in support of it. The justification of the exception to the rules are warranted.
Trustee Tinaglia asked where the sign was being constructed and who was installing it. Mr. Scheufler said it will be made in Elmhurst at the SouthWater plant and installed by them. SouthWater also engineered the marquee. It will take 4 months to fabricate and 2 weeks to install the sign.
The current canopy and banners will be removed. Rick Mojek from SouthWater Signs said the images are crisp, but not as good as televisions.
The images won’t change faster than every 10 seconds and there will be no flashing, rolling, or animation.
Joe Keefe, Metropolis’ Executive Director projected that if 1% of the people who move through the Vail/Campbell intersection bought a ticket, it would add 28,000 more tickets sold.
Mr. Scheufler said the sign is privately funded through grants and donations. The Village is not being asked for money. They are hoping for a
May installation.
Trustee Scaletta said he has not done business with SouthWater but the company had been referred to him. He stated he has no conflict of interest. He asked if there will be enough lighting underneath the sign. Mr. Mojek explained the white stripes are lit as well as the dots in the red space. The gold will match the doors on the front of the building.
Trustee Scaletta noted that this petition seemed similar to the one he made when Mr. Daday voted “no” on the Arlington Theater sign. He said he was voting “yes” on this for Mr. Keefe and for the Theater.
Trustee LaBedz asked how the lighting will be controlled. Mr. Mojek said it’s like a dimmer switch in your house, but it can be manually and auto sensor adjusted. The sign turns on with a timer. There are different zones for each face of the sign. The messages are on a laptop that will be programmed to appear on the board. Every day can have a different message and be programmed in advance. Walk up traffic on the day of a performance is expected to occur, especially for single event shows and off night concerts.
Trustee Padovani asked how many tickets were sold last year. Mr. Keefe said 92,000 tickets were sold last year, up from 58,000 four years ago. The Theater has over 2,000 subscribers up 700 from four years ago. 75% of ticket sales are from outside of the Village. Those coming to shows spent an average of $42.50 in the Village outside of the Theater. Trustee Mary Beth Canty moved to approve two variations from Chapter 30: one to allow a theater marquee with an electronic message display and the second to allow off premises advertising on the theater marquee electronic message display for theater sponsor names, where an off-premises advertising is prohibited. Trustee Robin LaBedz Seconded the Motion.
