Village President’s Report- Timothy Nugent

• Appointment of Mark Kaner to the Manteno Police Pension Board

Motion by Dole to approve the appointment of Mark Kaner to the Manteno Police Pension Board. Seconded by Boyce. 

Motion Approved 5-0 Martin absent

• Ordinance 20-12 - An Ordinance amending Title 3, Business Regulations, Chapter 9, Liquor, by changing Section 3-9-3, Applications, Section 3-9-6, Bond, and Section 3-9-15, Transfer, of the Municipal Code for the Village of Manteno. As discussed at the finance committee meeting, the process for obtaining a liquor license from an existing business was somewhat cumbersome. This revision allows for a simpler transfer to make the process easier for staff and for the applicant. Additionally, there was some language and requirements in the previous ordinance that were no longer necessary. This updates the ordinance to reflect the current process.
