Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, May 18, 2020 Page 4 Law Department — Mr. Coyne: Good evening everyone. As you recall about two Council meetings ago, the Administration and Council discussed the concept of possibly disbanding the Drainage and Infrastructure Committee and establishing a type of moral claims commission. I just wanted to report to Council that we are in the process of drafting that ordinance and we will hopefully be able to provide it to Council next month. It will create a commission to address moral claims as opposed to legal claims which would be claims in which the Village might not be legally technically responsible to pay but due to actions or inactions of the Village and even subject to immunity that the Village could give consideration to paying claims to address property damage or other claims that are suffered by residents of the Village. When we get that drafted and reviewed by Administration, we will share that with Council at an upcoming Council meeting. On the agenda too, I just wanted to point out there's a Resolution for the Artis development and terminating the Development Agreement. We have had no progress with that project for over two years and we believe that the developer is not in compliance with the express terms of the Agreement so we are suggesting that that be terminated through that Resolution so if you have any questions, you can address those to me or Administration. I wanted to make two comments too about the COVID-19 situation; address some practical issues. Any licenses or permits that are required to be renewed that were coming up for renewal during this period of time are given a grace period or an extension until June 16th, so it's a 90 -day extension after March 16th or until December 20th depending upon when the emergency declaration is lifted so I just wanted to remind people of that. The tax deadline is officially put back to July 15, 2020. Parks and Recreation: On behalf of Mr. McAvinew, Council President Schutt reported, in your packet this past weekend, you received a report from Shane McAvinew, Director of Parks and Recreation, providing an update on the Parkview Playground Improvements.
