PROPOSED RESOLUTION
TO APPROVE AND ADOPT CERTAIN 2020 PERMIT FEES
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the Forest Preserves of Cook County Board of Commissioners (the “Forest Preserves”) will approve on October 22, 2019 a proposed ordinance amendment to Title 7- Fees of the Forest Preserves’ Code of Ordinances; and
WHEREAS, under such code amendment the Forest Preserves may increase certain permit fees each calendar year by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumer (CPI-U) as of July of the prior year, rounded up to the nearest dollar; and
