Board reduces village total of class J liquor licenses after one business declines renewal
Summary
Trustees approved an ordinance reducing the village's count of a specific liquor-license class after a restaurant owner chose not to renew his license; staff said renewals happened July 1 and the total will drop from four to three.
The Village Board approved an ordinance to reduce the village total of a particular liquor-license class after a business owner chose not to renew.
A staff member reported that liquor licenses were renewed as of July 1 but that the owner of a nearby Mexican restaurant on Wadsworth chose not to renew his license. "The owner decided not to renew the license," the staff member said. The staff member said interested parties had expressed interest in reopening a restaurant at the location but that the license had effectively been abandoned and, under village code, the total number of that license class must be reduced from four to three.
Trustee Cook moved the ordinance; Trustee Miller seconded. The transcript records a roll-call vote with Trustees Miller, Sydney, Goss and Jensen recorded as voting "Aye." The motion carried.
What the board did not do: the board did not approve a new license at this meeting and no purchaser or reopening timeline was recorded.
Next steps: staff will reflect the reduced license count in village records and notify the state licensing authority as required by village code (specific administrative steps not detailed in the transcript).
