Alsip board approves consent agenda, adds one Class A liquor license for incoming restaurant

The Village of Alsip board approved its consent agenda at the March 17 meeting, adopting an ordinance to increase the village’s total number of Class A liquor licenses from 16 to 17 to accommodate a new Taco/Burrito restaurant expected to open in May.

Mayor Ryan said he was asking the board to approve “an increase in the number of liquor licenses in our town from 16 Class A to 17 Class A” and identified the additional license as earmarked for the Taco/Burrito King restaurant scheduled to open in May. The board voted by roll call to adopt the consent agenda and the ordinances included therein.

The consent package also included approval to sell surplus personal property: the board listed items such as a 2007 Ford Explorer previously assigned to the water department and a surplus water-utility truck that will be auctioned. Clerk Harding had earlier presented routine items for the consent agenda, including minutes and monthly reports.

As part of the consent agenda, the board approved two planning‑and‑zoning actions: the reappointment of Juryly Kleina to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a three‑year term and the appointment of Alberto Roa to fill a vacancy created by a term expiration. Those personnel actions were included in the consent roll‑call vote.

Roll‑call votes recorded Trustee Delzell voting yes, Trustee Mahorn yes, Trustee Murphy yes, Trustee Pra yes; Trustees Wares Mendoza and Navas Esparza were recorded absent. The motion to establish and then to approve the consent agenda carried on those recorded votes.

The board concluded other routine business during the meeting and adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
