Absent: Alderman Davis.

Public Comment

No members of the public gave a comment.

McHenry Golf Club Liquor License

Alderman Koch asked if two liquor licenses would now be at the Country Club location. Mayor Jett explained that the restaurant holding the prior liquor license did not renew their license for this fiscal year. The McHenry Golf Club is taking over that license that was available so no ordinance will be needed to adjust the number of Class A licenses. Alderwoman Bassi asked if they would be using the same license from the kitchen prior to Addison’s being present. Mayor Jett explained that Addison’s never opened the kitchen at the Country Club location. The business prior to Addison’s is no longer there and they did not have a liquor license. Buddyz has been doing catering at the golf course while the new owner works with the health department.

Chief Birk noted that the McHenry Country Club was the holder of the liquor license when the business prior to Addison’s was serving food. When the new owner of the Country Club took over, he allowed Addison’s to obtain the liquor license. The McHenry Golf Club will now be the holder of the liquor license. Chief Birk feels that it is more appropriate that the McHenry Golf Club hold the license so that they can control the liquor regardless of the business or restaurant that fills the kitchen space.

A motion was made by Alderman Doherty and seconded by Alderwoman Miller to approve a Class A liquor license to McHenry Golf Club, Inc, located at 820 N John Street. Roll call vote: 6-ayes: Alderwoman Baehne, Alderman Glab, Alderman Doherty, Alderwoman Bassi, Alderman Koch, Alderwoman Miller. 1-absent: Alderman Davis. Motion carried. 

Adjournment

A motion was made by Alderwoman Baehne and seconded by Alderman Koch to adjourn the meeting at 9:05 a.m. Roll call vote: 6-ayes: Alderwoman Baehne, Alderman Glab, Alderman Doherty, Alderwoman Bassi, Alderman Koch, Alderwoman Miller. 1-absent: Alderman Davis.
