The Orland Park Village Board adopted an ordinance amending Chapter 26 (Title 7) of the municipal code to implement a one‑sentence technical change requested by the state.
Village staff said the change was a detailed, technical edit consistent with templates from the Illinois Municipal League and that the state's review led to the requested wording change. "We got notification back from the state that they've accepted our ordinance, but they are asking for a one sentence change," said George.
Trustees asked whether the change was required to finalize the tax; staff confirmed it was. Trustee Lawrence characterized the edit as more precise legal wording from lawyers. Trustee Lawler moved to adopt the ordinance; the motion passed on roll call with Trustees Lawler, Lawrence, Leblitt, and the mayor recorded as voting Aye and Trustee Healy recorded as No.
The amendment was presented as a technical fix to conform to state review and the Illinois Municipal League template; no changes to tax rates or new program elements were discussed during the meeting.
