Board delays decision on additional gaming license after mixed views from trustees
Summary
Hopper Trailer Sales requested an additional gaming license and an expansion of gaming space; President Samples recommended waiting 30 days and Trustee Paula Belobrajdic-Stewart opposed adding another license, citing previous efforts to limit licenses in the village.
President Richard Samples told trustees he received a request from Hopper Trailer Sales to add gaming machines and expand its facility to attract highway customers. Samples said the Village currently has seven gaming licenses and suggested the board wait 30 days before deciding whether to issue an additional license.
Trustee Paula Belobrajdic-Stewart opposed granting another license, noting that previous boards had "worked very hard to limit the number of licenses the Village has" and that she would not favor adding one. Trustee J.W. Coleman asked whether a gaming license also requires a liquor license; Samples said the Village's gaming license "incorporates a liquor license into it." No motion to issue a license was made; the item remained a discussion and the board took no formal action at the Dec. 4 meeting.
