Trustee Curtis asked about the state statute in this situation. Atty. Drendel said that there is no state statute on this issue. The issue is that the Village adopted its own rule by Resolution, the Responsible Bidder Ordinance. The Ordinance says that the Village has determined that a responsible bidder is someone who has a Department of Labor approved joint apprenticeship program. Curtis asked if the Village can amend the ordinance to allow for the Village having done a certain amount of due diligence. Mayor Berman said this is something the Village can look into and discuss further.
