A decision is set for Dec. 19 with a public hearing on pre annexation utilities and streets on Dec. 17.

Village considers licensing gaps to raise funds
Bensenville officials discussed raising village revenue via extra business licenses. Barber John Luethy urged more licenses, but Village Atty William Redmond said state statutes limit licensing powers and create archaic gaps. Redmond cited examples and suggested petitioning legislators, with Village President Fred Steging noting no new licenses are possible under current law. Redmond is the 37th District state representative from Bensenville.
