Antioch board approves event liquor permits, vendor contracts, a product-sunset and municipal agreements
Summary
During its regular meeting the Antioch board approved special-event liquor permits, festival property use, a sunset on certain THC/kratom product sales, a plan-review contract with HR Green (estimated ~$100,000/year), disposal of surplus property, and authorized an Arnn Consulting contract following executive session.
The Antioch Board of Trustees voted on a series of routine and programmatic items at its regular meeting, approving multiple resolutions and ordinances that the village said will support events, regulatory clarity and municipal operations.
Resolutions and ordinances approved included:
- Resolution 25-83: a special-event liquor license for the Brothers of Liberty comedy night on Nov. 22, 2025. The board approved the request by roll call.
- Resolution 25-84: authorization for the Antioch Chamber of Commerce to use village-owned property for the Taste of Summer festival; approved by roll call.
- Ordinance 25-10-63: a sunset provision restricting sale of certain THC and kratom products in the village, with the ordinance waiving second reading and becoming effective Dec. 31 as discussed.
- Resolution 25-85: a contract with HR Green Inc. to provide building plan review and inspection services; staff noted HR Green's two-year trend analysis estimates approximately $100,000 in annual costs for the service.
- Ordinance 25-10-64: authorization to dispose of surplus property (office furniture and outdated IT equipment), with unsold items to be donated to charities; the board approved the disposal and staff explained a limited sale to the public followed by donations of unsold items.
- Contract authorization: after executive session the board authorized the mayor to execute a contract with Arnn Consulting for a research engagement; the motion passed on roll call.
- Financial motion: the board approved payment of accounts payable in the amount of $414,153.00.
Board members asked questions about costs, implementation timelines and whether certain items required additional staff reporting. On the HR Green agreement, Village staff said the service is expected to cost approximately $100,000 annually based on recent activity and that they will return with more detailed budget implications if needed.
Next steps: staff will implement the agreements and ordinances, schedule reporting where required, and follow through on the Arnn Consulting contract as authorized.
