Macomb City Council adopted amendments to Chapter 4 of the Macomb municipal code during a second-reading ordinance that the mayor and city attorney recommended to align local licensing rules with the Illinois Liquor Control Act.
City staff and the mayor described the ordinance as containing the proposed changes, which are detailed in Exhibits A and B attached to the ordinance. Council members discussed that the amendments would reconsolidate Class C and Class F into a single license and would expand provisions for Class V so that current license holders could meet the new standards.
The council moved, seconded and adopted the ordinance on second reading by roll call; the presiding officer declared the motion carried. The transcript records that the change also touches on video-gaming regulations as part of the consolidated license structure.
The city did not record additional substantive debate or amendments to the exhibits in the meeting transcript; the specific text of Exhibits A and B governs the precise regulatory changes.
