At the Liquor Commission hearing convened Dec. 1, petitioner Mark Miller introduced himself for the record as owner of Ice Melt Bacon Barbecue and as the operator of Moon Catering & Events. The commission considered a motion to release a liquor license to the petitioner; the motion received a second, the clerk called the roll and the commission approved the release.

Separately during the village board’s additional business, trustees approved an ordinance amending Section 8‑3‑22 (Number of Licenses) of the Hoffman Estates Municipal Code, an ordinance that the board reviewed earlier in the Liquor Commission. The ordinance passed by roll call vote as part of separate business, expanding or otherwise adjusting the ordinance language governing the number of alcoholic‑liquor licenses in the village.

The Liquor Commission and board actions were procedural approvals enabling the petitioner to receive a license and adjusting the municipal code to reflect the village’s licensing capacity; the transcript does not specify the exact amended license counts in the ordinance text.
