IV. CHAPTER 13 LIQUOR CODE REVISIONS
On January 13, 2009, the Village Board began reviewing the revised version of Chapter 13 (Liquor) of
the municipal code. During the meeting, the Village Attorney thoroughly explained the new liquor
license classifications, permits and certifications, and identified several deleted items. The Village
Board raised several concerns. The presentation and discussion of the code was postponed for the
January 27 COW meeting. At that meeting, the Village Attorney will present a comparison of
substantively changed sections of the code, as well as any new regulations. Notably, the Village
Attorney revised the proposed version of the code to address the Village Board's concern from the
January 13 meeting. Appropriate staff will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate discussion.
V. FUTURE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE DISCUSSION ITEMS
Over the past several years, the Village Manager's Office has attempted to better manage the flow of
information, which comes to the Village Board through the Committee of the Whole Agendas. As you
know, Committee of the Whole meetings are designed specifically to allow for more extensive
discussion of pending policy, finances, Code changes and various items of community interest. The
Committee of the Whole also serves as a forum for discussion of items, which are unexpected,
controversial, or of an emergency nature.
The evening's discussion will consist of reviewing suggested topics, discussing briefly the rationale
and need for discussion and the potential timing for bringing such items forward.
Board members, as well as staff, were asked to provide any suggested topics that they would like to
have considered. These items are included in the accompanying package. In the past, the Village
Board has engaged in a polling process, which identifies any subjects, which do have the support of
the Board for research and review. Appropriate staff will be available to answer questions and
facilitate discussion.
