Staff Present: Michael Guttman, City Administrator

Public Participation: None
Approval of Minutes:
Alderman Dimas moved and Alderman Stout seconded a motion to approve the minutes
from the August 15, 2022 meeting. Motion unanimously passed by voice vote.
New Business:
Request by Western DuPage Chamber of Commerce to Allow Additional C-4
Liquor Licenses — David Sabathne, President/CEO, referenced the letter he distributed to
the City Council requesting a clarification of the City’s Policy on not granting additional
C-4 Liquor Licenses and a reconsideration of that Policy if it wasn’t based on sound data.
In response to a question, Chief Fleury indicated that in his experience that he hasn’t seen
a rise in crime due to the allowing of alcohol sales at gas stations. Representatives from
both the BP on Roosevelt Road and The Pride at Route 59/64 spoke about their other
locations that are able to sell alcohol and the security measures they have in place to
ensure that alcohol is not sold to minors.
The Commissioners directed staff to provide research to present to the City Council that
covers what other local governments are doing with regards to alcohol sales at gas
stations, including any square footage minimum or commercial kitchen requirements,
types of alcohol allowed to be sold, minimum security requirements and anticipated
revenues from the annual license fees and the local alcoholic beverage tax.
The City Administrator indicated that this information would be targeted for completion
for the first City Council meeting in November 2024, at which time staff will need further
direction on the next steps, including whether or not to prepare a Code amendment to
allow for a future increase as well as any associated minimum standards or rather to
continue to only allow one liquor license for gas stations in West Chicago.
