Maywood board directs code amendments to extend liquor hours for Lacey's Place, increases video gaming terminals and approves Park District special event permit
Loading...
Summary
The board approved a temporary Class C liquor license for the Maywood Park District's Dec. 6 event, and directed the attorney to draft code amendments to permit extended liquor hours for Lacey's Place (11 a.m.–2 a.m.) and to increase video gaming terminals from five to six; Trustee Melvin Lightford voted against the Lacey's Place items.
Trustees approved recommendations from the Local Liquor Control Commission, granting a Class C temporary liquor license for the Maywood Park District's Dec. 6 IPRA Diversity Social at 809 W. Madison St. The board combined that approval with a motion to direct Village Attorney Michael Marrs to prepare a code amendment regarding a request from Lacey's Place, LLC (611 W. Roosevelt Road) for extended operating hours and to amend Title XI to increase allowable video gaming terminals from five to six under updated state guidance (230 ILCS 40/25(e)).
Trustee I. Brandon and Trustee M. Jones moved the motions; Trustee Melvin Lightford voted no on the Lacey's Place extended hours and the video gaming increase. The board also amended the extended-hours motion to include dial‑in access for meeting participation in the drafting instruction.
The votes direct legal drafting and do not themselves change the village code until the attorney prepares ordinance language and the board votes on it.
Next steps: the village attorney will draft the proposed code amendments for the board's consideration; the Park District's temporary license event is authorized for Dec. 6.
