City of Watseka Liquor Committee met March 15.
Here are the minutes provided by the committee:
PRESENT: Mayor Allhands, Aldermen Garfield, Barragree, Cahoe and Alderwoman Ulfers
GUEST: Chuck Gomez with the Watseka Theatre
Mayor Allhands opened the meeting at 6:18 pm. During Public Comment Mr. Gomez from the Watseka Theatre spoke about his $1200.00 liquor license that he got last year and feels that it was the wrong license for his business as he isn’t open daily and no longer has a café. He would like for the city to reimburse him for last years fees. As for this year he is requesting a special event license because as of now he only has 2 shows booked. Mr. Gomez thanked the committee for there time and left. Mayor Allhands stated the special event license only covers beer and wine and he has hard liquor. After a lengthy discussion it was decided to have Attorney Cainkar add to the current liquor license another special event license that can have hard liquor added and the fee will be $50.00 per event. Mayor Allhands will get in touch with Attorney Cainkar.
