Westmont board approves $3.36 million finance ordinance and reduces several liquor licenses

At the Aug. 6 meeting the Westmont Village Board approved the consent agenda that included Finance Ordinance No. 16 in the amount of $3,356,334.89 and several liquor-license reductions tied to recent business transactions and closures.

Village Manager Jim Gunther read the consent items aloud, including the ordinance amount: "Finance ordinance number 16 in the amount of $3,356,334.89." The consent agenda also listed proposed reductions to available Class 3, Class 20 and Class 4 liquor licenses due to the sale or closure of local establishments (Chan's Corporation/Golden Bowl, Whiskey Hill Brewing Company, Korean Garden, Margie's Beef). Trustee Matt Scales moved the consent agenda and Trustee Plowman seconded; a roll-call vote recorded unanimous approval among trustees present.

The ordinance and license-count reductions were adopted as part of the consent agenda; no separate discussion on the finance ordinance was recorded. Residents and local stakeholders seeking details on specific license transfers or financial line items were directed to staff and village records for the formal ordinance text and related documentation.
