The Village Board on May 14 adopted amendments to chapter 36 of the village code to clarify vehicle-license applicability and enforcement procedures. The changes are intended to modernize language and reduce ambiguity so staff can apply the sticker requirement consistently.
Staff reported outcomes from recent compliance outreach: 232 previously unpurchased vehicle stickers were sold following an initial notice (generating about $14,370 in sticker revenue) and roughly $13,000 in late fees was collected; staff issued 55 citations after follow-up notices. Since May 1, the village has sold about 871 stickers for the 2026-27 season, and staff said they will receive Secretary of State reports every six months to help identify out-of-compliance registrations.
Officials emphasized that vehicle-sticker revenue supports local road work, snow removal, crack-filling and related services; the board promoted a paint/electronics/shredding event at Public Works where stickers will be sold and staff will offer late hours for sticker purchases before the June 16 evening sale.
Why it matters: Clarifying the code and intensifying enforcement increased compliance and generated local revenue earmarked for road maintenance; staff said continuing Secretary of State matches will reduce future compliance gaps.
What's next: Staff will continue enforcement efforts and publicize upcoming sticker-sales events; the ordinance passed on a 4-0 roll-call vote.
