hotel off of their premises and the Class E is for liquor served within the hotel restaurants,
banquet rooms and meeting rooms. Provided that all ordinance requirements are met, the Local

popular one and she realized that the Village previously paid for the garbage. It
would be great if that could occur again but she personally believes it is much more
important that the Village bring the reserves up to the six -month level before the
Board even considers the garbage issue.
Trustee Zannis stated that it can be taken with everything including the telephone
systems, landscaping, and screening of the HVAC or the outside wall. President
Quinlan asked that the Board return to the agenda as both of those items have been
continued.

9. B. 2)
the Village Code of the Village of Oak Brook, Illinois Relative to the Number of
Authorized Liquor Licenses ".
Trustee Korin commented of her discussion with Manager Boehm of the amount of
liquor licenses being outstanding and how they were assigned. When the Board
received the last information on the liquor licenses, there were more outstanding
liquor licenses than businesses using them.
Manager Boehm explained that the Clerk did provide information of the latest
action by the Board. A correction was made to the table of liquor licenses because
of the error. Clearly, all of the matters have been brought before the Village Board
for approval of new licenses or transfer of licenses for the same establishment A
liquor license is not the property right of the owner and if they leave the Village it
does not go to them or to the new business.
President Quinlan remarked that the license is removed and then it is brought to the
Board for approval or disapproval. Manager Boehm explained that the licenses are
in order and there are no outstanding licenses.
Trustee Zannis asked if Manager Boehm spoke to former Village Attorney Martens
on this issue. She had requested ten days ago that Manager Boehm contact
Attorney Martens for an explanation of the liquor license process. President
Quinlan stated there is an approval process, required BASSET training and then
approval by the Board.
Trustee Zannis asked for a letter from former Village Attorney Martens explaining
what the process was prior She stated she has an issue with the granting of liquor
license process. President Quinlan stated there is a fee to do this.
Attorney Spiroff explained that if there is a suspension or revocation, the licensee is
entitled to a notice and opportunity to defend in that sense there is some property
rights to be protected.
Motion by Trustee Zannis to continue this agenda item No second was made to the
motion.
Motion by Trustee Yusuf, seconded by Trustee Korin, for passage of Ordinance
2004- LC -AL -G -761 "An Ordinance Amending Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8A of
