During a recent government meeting, the board addressed several key items, including the approval of raffle licenses for local organizations and an amendment to the village's liquor license regulations.
The first item discussed was the raffle license for Our Lady of Humility School. Trustee Jensen clarified that the raffle chances would be sold through December 2024, with prizes awarded in January 2025, correcting a previous misunderstanding regarding the timeline. Trustee Gust emphasized the importance of supporting the school, noting the challenges faced by Catholic parishes and schools in the community. The board unanimously approved the raffle license, recognizing the school's value to the community.
Next, the board considered a raffle application for Camp Jorn, scheduled for a fundraiser at Thunderhawk Golf Course on September 20. This one-day event also required a raffle license, which the board approved without any objections.
The final item on the agenda was an amendment to the village's liquor license regulations. The board voted to officially reduce the number of General Entertainment (GE) liquor licenses from one to zero, following the closure of the last establishment holding such a license. This move was described as good housekeeping to ensure the village code accurately reflects the current status of liquor licenses.
The meeting concluded with no old business and an invitation for any new business, which did not arise. The board's decisions reflect ongoing efforts to support local institutions and maintain accurate regulatory frameworks within the community.
