DuPage Mayor and Managers Conference —
SERVING RESIDENTS OF DUPAGE AND ILLINOIS
Representing more than one million residents by advocating for
sound public policy initiatives, the DuPage Mayors and Managers
Conference (DMMC) strives to promote sound local government,
foster intergovernmental cooperation, and find innovative solutions
to make local government work more effectively for DuPage
residents and ultimately all citizens of Illinois. DMMC's legislative
priorities for 2019 include:
> Protecting Local Government Distributive Fund Revenue to
adequately fund municipal operating budgets and provide basic
services to residents without shifting the state's financial problems
onto municipalities.
> Consolidating Public Safety Pensions to reduce unfunded
pension liabilities, stabilize retirement systems and protect against
cuts to basic services and property tax increases.
> Preserving Local Authority to allow municipalities to serve the
distinct needs of residents and businesses in their communities.
> Repairing and Improving Illinois’ Infrastructure to maintain
local roads, bridges and water facilities while ensuring safe
transport and creating new jobs.
> Reforming Workers’ Compensation laws to bring more
economic opportunity in Illinois while ensuring that injured
workers get quality health care and fair treatment.

ENSURE SUSTAINABLE MUNICIPAL BUDGETS
x
Returning revenue generated by local residents and businesses back to the community is crucial to preserving vital
municipal services like police and fire protection, garbage pick-up, road maintenance, snow removal and
emergency medical services (EMS). DMMC communities, as well as those throughout the state, rely on these
revenue streams—including the $1 billion Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF) dollars—that are collected by
the state and returned to municipal governments to pay for essential services, By protecting all state-collected
local revenue streams, legislators help ensure municipalities can deliver basic services and necessary staffing.
Reducing LGDF dollars shifts the state's financial problems onto municipalities, forcing potential service cuts,
police and fire layoffs and local property tax increases.

SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE PUBLIC SAFETY PENSIONS
DMNC is part of a statewide coalition advocating for reforms aimed at preserving public safety pensions for
local police officers and firefighters while reducing the burden on municipalities and taxpayers. The current
system is unsustainable as the unfunded pension liabilities continue to grow significantly, despite more revenue
pouring into the system. Without cutting benefits, consolidating the 663 municipal public safety pension
funds into a single multiple-employer pension fund management system would expand investment
opportunities and lower operational expenses for those who serve our communities. Without reform, the costs
of public safety pensions will continue to rise, adding to the financial burden of municipalities and forcing cuts
in basic services or increases in local property taxes.
PRESERVE LOCAL AUTHORITY
Locally elected leaders are best equipped to set local policy because they live in the communities they represent and
have daily interaction with the constituents they serve. The ability for municipalities to govern themselves and make
decisions at the local level is the most effective way they can fully serve the unique needs of their communities. In
some cases, legislation and mandates can restrict a local government's ability to do what's right for residents and
businesses. Issues such as franchising, zoning, permitting and licensing, local code enforcement and regulating
business activities are fundamental responsibilities of local government. In addition, removing the distinction between
home rule and non-home rule communities would eliminate barriers, giving all municipalities crucial local control and
decision-making ability.
INVEST IN ILLINOIS' INFRASTRUCTURE
Improving Illinois’ infrastructure system will bolster the state’s economy, create jobs and attract new
businesses. A state capital bill would help jumpstart Illinois’ economy, which depends on roads, rail and
water facilities that connect local communities, and limit congestion while ensuring safe travel, prompt
freight delivery, clean water and an efficient public transportation system. By establishing a systematic
approach for identifying and prioritizing needs with matching resources, municipalities can work with the
state to upgrade infrastructure, creating new projects for communities and jobs for residents. This will
increase wages and attract a more competitive workforce so that Illinois remains one of the best places to
work, own a business and raise a family.
REFORM WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
Workers’ compensation reforms would create economic opportunity and jobs to make Illinois more competitive with
surrounding states. Adopting common-sense reforms would lead to more reasonable settlements without
harming employees who have legitimate claims and ensure they are protected and receive quality treatment.
Establishing standards that ensure an injury or illness is directly linked to the work or the workplace is fair to workers
and businesses. As a result, lower costs brought about by these reforms would save significant taxpayer dollars and
enable employers to expand, relocate and grow their businesses in Illinois.
