Code of Ordinances of the City of West Chicago — 59 North — The Oasis Café —
City Attorney Patrick Bond spoke to the owners of 59 North — The Oasis Café and
learned that an attorney would not be present, but that the owners would handle their own
case. Attorney Bond advised them that the Commission could not hear or rule on their

before an adjudicatory body. The owners requested to continue the matter and agreed to
not have any live entertainment until such time that the Commission reconvenes and
renders a decision on this matter.
A motion to continue was moved by Alderman Stout and seconded by Alderman Dimas.
