Lindenhurst adopts new special-event liquor license classification

The Lindenhurst Village Board adopted Ordinance 23-10-2276 on Oct. 23 amending the Village Code to create a new special-event liquor license classification.

Trustee Dawn Suchy moved to adopt the ordinance and Trustee Patty Chybowski seconded; the measure passed on a 5-0 roll-call vote with Trustees Pat Dickson, Pat Dunham, Patty Chybowski, Dawn Suchy and Ron Grace voting aye.

The meeting minutes state that a Class H license permits consumption and service but not the sale of alcohol. The ordinance creates a separate special-event license classification to allow the village to authorize alcohol service at eligible special events under specified license rules. The minutes do not list an effective date for the ordinance or additional licensing fee structure details.

Next steps: The ordinance was adopted; implementation details such as effective date, application process and fees were not specified in the minutes and will be determined through staff procedures or subsequent Board action.
