ITEM 6.17.3)
SUBJECT: An Amendment to Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8A of the Village Code of the Village
of Oak Brook, Illinois Relative to the Number of Authorized Liquor Licenses
FROM: Charlotte K. Pruss, Village Clerk
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Motion for passage of Ordinance 2011- LC -AL -G -951, "An
Ordinance Amending Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8A of the Village Code of the Village of
Oak Brook, Illinois Relative to the Number of Authorized Liquor Licenses"
Background/History:
Village Code requires that any change in the number of liquor licenses that are being held in the
Village of Oak Brook must be passed by ordinance.
The Village is in receipt of a letter from Red Steer, Inc. who currently carry A -1 and B liquor
licenses for their restaurant, Baxton Seafood Grill located at 3 Oakbrook Center. The letter
states that Braxton Seafood Grill is being shut down as the result of a lease termination. The
closure is expected to be permanent, however a new tenant, Seasons 52, will replace them in the
spring. This will temporarily decrease the number of A -1 and B liquor licenses by one, leaving
the total number of A -1 licenses at 21 and B licenses at 13.
Recommendation:
The recommendation is for Passage of Ordinance 2011- LC -AL -G -951.
