The Village of Westmont board approved an ordinance change to increase the number of available Class 3 liquor licenses by one and decrease Class 4 licenses by one to accommodate Taqueria El Ranchito at 323 West 63rd Street.

A village representative, Mister Moore, explained the owner currently holds a beer-and-wine license and seeks a Class 3 license to offer tequila and mixed drinks in a small Mexican-restaurant setting; he noted the business is small (roughly six to eight tables) and will not operate a full service bar with patrons seated at the bar. "He can have a service bar where they can make the drinks, but he can't have a full bar," Moore said.

Trustee Linda Little moved to approve the ordinance and Trustee Matt Scales seconded; roll call recorded affirmative votes from Trustees Little, Scales, Crowley, Parker and Guzzo and the motion passed.
