Fair Housing Ordinance
Planning and Development Services Director, Roberta Grill stated that the ordinance’s purpose is to promote and protect fair housing opportunities throughout the village. It is to secure all persons living and working or desiring to live or work in Bartlett, an equal opportunity to view, purchase, rent or occupy real estate without discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, disability, source of income, familial status or national origin of any individual. This ordinance also prohibits unlawful discrimination practices, prohibits discrimination in lending and provides for penalties for anyone found guilty of violating a provision of this ordinance. A Fair Housing Ordinance is needed as part of the villages grant request for the wastewater treatment plant as part of the Rebuild Illinois Plan. Staff has been notified that moving forward, all state grants will now require a municipality to adopt a Fair Housing Ordinance and in addition, this ordinance is required to enable the village to apply for Community Development Block Grants from DuPage County which would fund projects that would meet the needs of low to moderate income neighborhoods in Bartlett. This ordinance pertains to prohibiting discrimination in regard to the sale or rental of real property. It is not pertaining to providing affordable housing. The village is exempt from providing an affordable housing plan because we exceed the minimum 10% requirement of affordable housing units based on the total of year-round housing units in the village.
The item was forwarded on to the Village Board for a vote.
Chairman Deyne moved to adjourn and that motion was seconded by Chairman Hopkins.
