Ordinance & Legal Review Committee

CITY OF BELLEVILLE, ILLINOIS ORDINANCE AND LEGAL REVIEW COMMITTEE CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS JANUARY 10, 2017 6:00 PM Alderman Wigginton called the meeting to order. Aldermen present on roll call: Alderman Kinsella, Alderman Pusa, Alderman White, Alderman Wigginton, Mayor Eckert and City Attorney Hoerner. Members Present: Alderman Galetti excused. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Michael Hagberg In the November minutes it was stated that Mr. Hoerner said that ordinances will be updated on line within a month after they are passed. The last update is from July. Mr. Hagberg asked the board to consider what to do with ordinances that don't affect the codification i.e. levy, zoning ordinances. Also, to question whether or not signed and executed business agreements should be posted on the City's website so the public can view without having to FOIA the documents. MINUTES Alderman Pusa made a motion seconded by Alderman White to accept the minutes of November 3, 2016. All members present voted aye. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None. MISCELLANEOUS & NEW BUSINESS BUS/TRUCK STOPS City Attorney Hoerner stated this is a topic that arose from Jack Flash proposed facility at the Shrine Project. This falls by definition under the Video Gaming Act as a truck stop. The City does not currently have an ordinance that differentiates between a bus stop or truck stop versus a convenience store. Bus and truck stops are treated differently and they have a different classification. The Jack Flash proposal would have gaming similar to the one they have in their location in Farmersville and Effingham. This would require an amendment to the ordinance. The Video Gaming Act defines truck stops and licensed truck stop establishments to include a convenient store that is on three (3) acres or more; sell in excess of 10,000 diesel fuel a month and has commercial vehicle parking. Another way to define is to state it must be within so many miles of an interstate. Alderman Pusa made a motion seconded by Alderman Kinsella to draft an ordinance and submit to council on February 6, 2017. Members voting aye on roll call: Kinsella, Pusa, White, Mayor Eckert and Wigginton.  Ordinance & Legal Review Minutes January 10, 2017 RESALE/CONSIGNMENT SHOPS City Attorney stated this was brought to the administration by Alderman Tyler and Alderman Randle.
