Stone Park trustees review 2025 tax-levy ordinance and proposed liquor-license hour changes; new business opens
Summary
Trustees reviewed Ordinance 25-16 (2025 tax levy) with Mayor Mazzulla saying homeowner taxes will not increase though pension costs rose slightly; Trustee Nazario Garcia reviewed Ordinance 25-17 proposing changes to liquor-license closing times and reported that Exotic Lashes LLC opened Dec. 9 at 3804 W. North Avenue.
Finance Trustee Marco A. Gutierrez presented Ordinance 25-16, the Village of Stone Park’s 2025 tax-levy ordinance, at the Dec. 9 meeting. Mayor Beniamino Mazzulla told the Board the ordinance is required annually and stated the Village is not increasing taxes for homeowners, though there is a small increase to the downstate pension obligation.
Trustee Nazario Garcia reviewed Ordinance 25-17, proposed amendments to Title XI, Chapter 111 of the Village Code concerning liquor licenses. The proposed changes would move Class A license closing time from 4 a.m. to 3 a.m., reclassify existing Class B licenses into a new 'BB' classification, and extend gas station (Class CC) closing hours from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. The minutes record presentation of the ordinance and the substantive changes but do not record a final vote in these minutes.
Trustee Garcia also reported the issuance of a new business license to Exotic Lashes LLC at 3804 W. North Avenue, which officially opened on Dec. 9, 2025.
The minutes reflect presentations and context for both ordinances and the new business notice; they do not record final adoption votes for the ordinances in this meeting record. The meeting adjourned at 6:25 p.m.
What’s next: Formal adoption or further consideration of the ordinances would be recorded in the Board’s official vote records or subsequent meeting minutes.
