Conclusion and Close
Purpose of Seminar
• The purpose of this seminar is to bring together
all participants in the community (Government,
Owners, Banking and Business Organization) to
discuss ideas and goals towards developing an
inviting and thriving business sector in which the
businesses would complement one another.
• We will also discuss programs and partnerships
which shall promote this growth.
Observations
• We have all seen the steady lost of some of our
long standing and family owned businesses as
well as some of the staple franchise
establishments which acted as the magnet to the
shopping districts.
• We have seen the decline of the foot traffic and
retail shops along these routes but,
• We have also seen the growth and desires of
some of our new retailers to come and be a part
of our community.
Observations (cont.)
• Economic development can only be promoted
through a combination of interrelated and
dependent elements. The elements include
investment—public and private; security--public
and private; road/infrastructure improvements;
and enhancement of the experience—code
enforcement.
• The Village Board will pursue all elements.
However private efforts are mandatory. It is
critical to the success of business operators to
make a positive statement about themselves
and the Village of Maywood
Community Development

assemble small parcels into ones large
enough to be marketed.

HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS
Health and safety issues are major concerns in operating a safe Village. The following health and safety issues are a few of the many issues that must be addressed in
order to operate a successful and safe business. The following are suggestions made the Village to assist with improving the safety standards in your business:
1. Actively participate in an on-going beautification plan. The Village of Maywood is currently enforcing the 2003 International Property Maintenance Code. A
brochure regarding the most common property maintenance violations will be made available at the Code Enforcement Department for your review.
2. Keep an accurate record of violent incidents and/or police reports to assist the Village of Maywood’s Police Department with keeping your business
environment safe.
3. Provide security officers or increase the number of officers in your establishment, should there be a history of crime at your location.
4. Maintain the same hours of operation as noted on your application. Make sure the Police Department and the Department of Code Enforcement has an updated
copy of the hours of operation should they change.
5. Provide a tracking plan that will assist with identifying employees and customers.
6. Install outside surveillance, if necessary. In case of a violent crime, proof of the violators may be captured on tape.
7. Provide a parking attendant, which may also be your security officer. This person can ensure that the cars in your parking lot are safe and free from theft and
vandalism.
8. Implement an emergency procedure plan. This plan will outline the procedures to take during an uncomfortable/violent situation. First aid kits should be
provided on all levels of the building.
9. Implement a fire evacuation plan. Make sure that the Fire Department and the Department of Code Enforcement has a copy of this plan. The Fire Department
will provide the fire evacuation procedures based on the floor plan provided to the department. Occupancy loads will also be established.
The Village of Maywood would like to thank all businesses that participate in this effort to make Maywood businesses safer for the community.
By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read and agree to the aforementioned statements.
