Board conditionally renews liquor licenses pending payment of past‑due amounts and rehabilitation proof
Summary
The board conditionally approved license renewals for Hutch Kelly Club LLC and RJT and Suns LLC, requiring outstanding utility or supplier payments and, for one owner, proof of rehabilitation before final issuing of licenses.
The Village Board conditionally approved renewals of alcohol licenses subject to payment of past-due obligations and documentation. Trustees moved to conditionally approve Hutch Kelly Club LLC’s Class B fermented malt beverage and Class B intoxicating liquor renewal after the clerk reported a past-due utility balance of $66,276; the clerk later reported that amount had been paid, which resolved the condition.
For RJT and Suns LLC, trustees added a contingency that the owner must provide rehabilitation proof and pay a large past-due supplier balance. Staff reported a supplier claim of $91,825; trustees amended the renewal motion to require that supplier repayment before a license can be issued for the next term. During discussion trustees also cited repeated compliance follow-up required by staff and prior fire code issues at that location.
Board members debated the threshold to deny or revoke a license given unpaid debts and compliance history; staff reminded the board that license denial and revocation entail additional legal processes. The amended conditional renewal for RJT passed with a recorded result of five yes and one nay.
