Petitioner Un Sook Sin was sworn in by the City Clerk and
gave testimony regarding her request for a Change of
Ownership for Class E Liquor License for property located
at 638 W. Algonquin Road, d/b/a New Seoul Restaurant.
Alderman Sayad stated that he has a problem with the

petitioner cannot speak English; application should be
filled out properly.
Aldermen Smith stated that the application could be
approved contingent upon the application being properly
completed.
Alderman Arredia stated that he agreed with Alderman
Sayad; the form should be filled out correctly.

training; the City cannot provide an interpreter; we have

Mayor Jung stated that there is a need for an ordinance
with some teeth in it; he encouraged the aldermen to pass
some kind of ordinance to control skateboarding.
Alderman Smith stated that he supports this ordinance but
the fine is too low; perhaps offenders could perform some
community service.
Alderman Becker stated that he doesn't think a fine of
$5 or $10 is sufficient; perhaps ten (10) hours of
community service. Police Chief Sturlini stated that the
problem with community service is that you would have to
have a police officer or community service officer
supervise the offender(s) while they are doing the
community service.
Alderman Arredia stated that he is against this
ordinance; kids will find a way to skateboard.
Alderman Elstner stated that he believes we need a
skateboarding ordinance for the Central Business
District; we should start with what we have; we can
always amend the ordinance.
Moved by Elstner, seconded by Smith, to concur with Staff
recommendation and recommend to the City Council to
approve the proposed skateboarding ordinance for the
Central Business District with a fine of not less than
$5 nor more than $10 for each violation; and Ordinance
M-42-99 be placed on First Reading at appropriate time
this evening.
Alderman Sayad stated that community service is not the
way to go; the fine should be increased.
Mr. Vince Powers, 862 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that he thinks too much
is being made of this skateboarding problem; we are going
to have sign pollution; this can be controlled without
going through an ordinance; the businesses should tell
the kids not to skateboard.
Alderman Smith stated that he is withdrawing his second
to the motion (without a second, there is no motion on
the table) .
Moved by Smith, seconded by Christiansen, to recommend
to the City Council that the proposed skateboarding
ordinance be referred back to Staff for further review
and recommendations regarding the fines.
Alderman Brookman stated that she is totally opposed to
community service; there should be a fine.
Motion declared failed on Alderman Smith's motion.
