AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
March 12, 2019
SUBJECT: Amendment to Chapter 7 – Raffle License Increase
FROM: Riccardo F. Ginex, Village Manager
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to approve passage of Ordinance 2019-LC-
RF-G-1145, “An Ordinance Amending Title 4, Chapter 7, Section 4-7-7 B; of the
Village Code of the Village of Oak Brook, Illinois by Increasing the Number of Raffle
Licenses from Six to Ten.
Background/History:
We have been approached by an organization requesting to increase the number of Raffle
Licenses issued on an annual basis since they have to move some of their events to
accommodate our ordinance. Presently, our ordinance allows six (6) raffle licenses in a
calendar year to be issued. Section 4-7-7: RESTRICTIONS of Chapter 7 states:
A. Each license is valid for one raffle only.
B. No more than six (6) raffle licenses shall be issued to any person in any
calendar year.
While their request was for an increase to eight (8) licenses, staff felt that moving it to ten
(10) would be more beneficial. We do not see any issues in doing this increase as they still
would pay a $25.00 fee for each raffle license.
Recommendation:
The Village Board approves the ordinance amendment.
