Board of Trustees Meeting Reports

Approval of shift from Class B liquor license (serve wine and beer for consumption on premises) to Class A license (serve alcohol for consumption on premises) for Empire Szechwan, 2580 Milwaukee.
Approval of Class H liquor license (sale of packaged alcohol)in addition to a Class B license for Nobori Sushi, 1821 Waukegan.
Request for Board direction regarding banning smoking in all approved outdoor dining areas. The Smoke Free Illinois Act prohibits smoking within 15 feet of a public building's door or open window. At many of the restaurants that offer outdoor dining, the configuration of tables can make compliance difficult. The Village doesn't enforce the Act, however, it has received some resident questions on this topic. The Board asked for additional information; staff will contact local restaurants and bars that offer outdoor dining to explore this issue.
Regarding curb cut modifications as part of the Waukegan Road Corridor Improvement Plan. Because this will affect private property owners, the Board approved the Village covering 100 percent of any associated costs and providing a $5,000/curb cut incentive to each affected business.

Because the Village received a large donation of furniture from a local company, it now has a great deal of old furniture, in poor condition, to dispose of.
