The Waukegan City Council approved an ordinance Oct. 27 to increase by one the number of Class E restaurant liquor licenses (with video gaming) to allow SIP 21 LLC to operate at 2120 Green Bay Road.

Alderman Florian moved the ordinance and Alderman Danaworth (recorded as Donald Worth in one exchange) seconded. Alderman Danaworth told the council the outstanding complaint against the petitioner had been withdrawn and said, “The complaint has been withdrawn, and I cannot see any reason why the petitioner should not get the liquor license.”

During roll-call voting the council recorded the following: Aldermen Guzman, Martinez, Felix, Turner, Danaworth, Florian, Hayes and Bolton voted yes; Alderman Newsom voted no. The motion passed.

The item had been held over from the regular Oct. 20 meeting for further consideration. The meeting record did not include an ordinance number, conditions attached to the license approval, or the text of the withdrawn complaint; those items were not specified on the public record during the session.

No additional debate was recorded at the Oct. 27 special meeting. The clerk announced the motion passed and the council moved on to new business.
