(A) Purpose. To provide for fair and efficient enforcement of village ordinances, as may be allowed by law and directed by ordinance, through an administrative adjudication of violations of Village ordinances thereby expediting the prosecution and correction of code violations. To that end, there is hereby adopted Article 1, Division 2.1 of the Illinois Municipal Code (ILCS Ch. 65, Act 5, §§ 1-2.1-1 et seq.).
(B) Creation. There is hereby established a department of the municipal government to be known as the Village of La Grange Park Ordinance Enforcement Department to have the power to enforce compliance with all municipal ordinances as from time to time are authorized by the Village President and Board of Trustees, except for any offense under § 6-204 of the Illinois Vehicle Code (ILCS Ch. 625, Act 5, § 6-204) that is a traffic regulation governing the movement of vehicles and except for any reportable offense under § 6-204 of the Illinois Vehicle Code (ILCS Ch. 625, Act 5, § 6-204). The establishment of the La Grange Park Ordinance Enforcement Department does not preclude the Board of Trustees from using any legal system or other method to enforce ordinances of the village. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, any references throughout this chapter to “village code,” “this code,” “code,” or “ordinance” shall be a reference to the La Grange Park Municipal Code, as amended, or to any municipal ordinance as from time to time authorized by the Village President and Board of Trustees.
