Council committee approves relief to permit Clearbrook’s 2016 charity casino nights

The Police Policy & Code Services Committee voted to permit Clearbrook's 2016 Charitable Casino Night event at 746 South Vermont Street after staff confirmed the organization meets the village's liquor-serving and event requirements.

A staff presentation described the event as an annual fundraiser and said Clearbrook meets the village's liquor-serving standards. "This is an annual event that they have over at Clearbrook. They will meet all of our liquor serving requirements to have this event," a staff member said. The committee had no public comments and approved forwarding the resolution to the consent agenda.

The Liquor Commission later granted a Class E temporary liquor license for Clearbrook's listed event dates (the Liquor Commission recorded approval for two Clearbrook nights on March 5 and Oct. 1). Committee and commission action means Clearbrook may proceed with permit compliance and event planning with village staff support.
