Reports of Village Officials:

Village President’s Report- Timothy Nugent

• Ordinance 20-09 - An Ordinance amending Title 3, Business Regulations, Chapter 9, Liquor, by changing Section 3-9-4, Fee, and Section 3-9-14, Limitation, of the Municipal code for the Village of Manteno. This ordinance creates a new liquor license category to facilitate home businesses that package liquor sales into gift baskets. We had a resident present a request at our Finance committee meeting and after discussion, we consulted with our attorney. We were advised to create this new category. We are allowing up to three of these licenses in the Village at a cost of $300.00, plus proof of dram insurance.

• Last meeting we had announced the opening of the Splash pad at Legacy Park and the reopening of the fountain at the Square on Second. We have not had any incidents.

Village Administrator’s Report- Chris LaRocque

The 2020 Census takers will be starting to go door to door August 11th. This is for the residents who had not responded either online or by mail to the census. These Census takers will have ID on them that you can request to see. The Village will request to get a copy of what the ID will look like and post on our Village sign and online at our website. Residents may still go online to My 2020 Census.gov and complete one if they have not done so already. Information will be available on our Village website.
