2025-08-26 Village of Villa Park Local Liquor Control Commission Meeting

The Village of Villa Park Local Liquor Control Commission held a meeting on August 26, 2025, focusing primarily on liquor licensing policies and compliance. Key procurement-related discussions included establishing a policy requiring entities applying for one-day liquor licenses to submit applications at least one to two weeks in advance for commission review. The commission also addressed enforcement of Basset certifications for alcohol servers, proposing an annual review process and setting an October 15 deadline for establishments to submit certification documentation. A motion was passed to recommend that the village cover the $15 cost for commissioners to obtain Basset certification. Additionally, the commission discussed reviewing and potentially restructuring the various types of liquor licenses to simplify the licensing framework. These actions aim to improve administrative oversight and compliance with state laws and local ordinances related to liquor licensing.
