Board Members and Chairman comments
Marlow mentioned that he also runs a business in Webber Township that focuses on children, and he does not think the additional liquor licenses are appropriate.
McDermott stated that he felt those requesting the County Code change should have addressed the Full Board, as previous businesses have done.
Draege stated that we are only considering a County Code change, not approving any licenses as those applicants would need to go thru the permit process.
Wilkey stated that he felt additional liquor licenses would require additional deputies, Public Defender and State's Attorney hours.

Fiscal Committee Chair Watt presented the minutes from the March 23, 2017, Committee Meeting.
