Trustees discuss the topic of adding the new class which would allows the sale of alcohol by a hotel.

Taylor recommended the ordinance amendment to the trustees, saying it would offer hotel guests a controlled environment to drink and not have to go elsewhere.
Trustees Jeff Werfel, Amy Edwards, Shawn Vogel and Kevin Waldenstrom agreed to have the ordinance drafted. Taylor said Trustees Ron Jarvis and Bruce Basset, who were not present at the Village Board meeting August 7, had already expressed their support to him.
