The Planning Committee adopted an ordinance amending Chapter 8 of the municipal code to modify the residential rental property licensing cycle as part of the village's enterprise resource planning (ERP) transition.

Staff explanation: Planning staff said the village is implementing a new BS&A ERP system scheduled to go live in late January 2026. To avoid duplicate entries and to streamline processes between systems, staff proposed extending current residential rental licenses that would otherwise expire on Dec. 31 to March 31, 2026, and thereafter changing the annual expiration date for rental licenses to March 31.

Implementation notes and contingencies: Staff noted system configuration is ongoing and that additional code modifications to business or rental licensing language may be required; staff said any necessary subsequent changes would be presented for consideration. The ordinance passed by voice vote.

Next steps: Staff will complete ERP configuration and, if needed, present follow-up code changes; extended licenses will remain valid through March 31, 2026.
