 canceling July 4th and meeting on July 11th if deemed necessary and canceling
 the August 8th meeting and meeting on August 15th if deemed necessary,
 seconded by Commissioner White. Vote unanimously approved.

 Consider revisions regarding tobacco possession

 Jennifer Lutzke, Senior Assistant City Attorney, stated that Tobacco 21 will go
 into affect on July 1, 2019. Through the enactment of Tobacco 21, the State
 decriminalized the possession of tobacco's by minors. This agenda item was
 brought to you to discuss what you wanted to do regarding possession of
 tobacco. Currently, possession of tobacco for anyone 18 years old or younger
 is a violation of our code. We can change the age to 21, make other changes as
 recommended or remove the penalties and violation of our code regarding
 tobacco possession.

 Detective Riggs spoke to surrounding jursidictions: Aurora, Bolingbrook,
 Woodridge, Warrenville, Lisle, Joliet, Elgin, Plainfield and Schaumburg as a
 comparable and also Wheaton and Glen Ellyn. The majority of these cities are
 raising the age to 21 for possession. Bolingbrook is the only one who is not
 raising the age right now.

 Aurora, Lisle, Elgin, Plainfield and Glen Ellyn have changed their code to 21 for
 possession of tobacco.

 Commissioner Stauffer asked Detective Riggs if the Police are keeping an eye
 out for possession of tobacco by minors. Detective Riggs stated some
 statistics. For schools in 2016 there were 6 violations by minors and in 2018
 there were 38 violations. 2017 there were 18 violations in the schools. The
 School Resource Officers said now it's vaping. If possession was eliminated, it
 would cause problems. This is a City Ordinance citation. As a juvenile, it doesn't
 go on any criminal record.

 Commissioner Wehrli asked how this relates to Hooka Bars. And also by
 matching the state law, this would be different from our surrounding
 communities. Hooka Bars are at 21.

 Detective Riggs feels if possession is eliminated, we will have more problems
 in the schools.
 Commissioner Davis moved to match the state law regarding possession of
 Tobacco 21, seconded by Commissioner O'Toole.

 Commissioner Davis withdrew her motion, seconded by Commissioner O'Toole.

 Commissioner Stauffer moved that we change possession of tobacco to 21,
 seconded by Commissioner Robbins.
 This will go to City Council for approval.

 Aye: 7- Davis, O'Toole, Robbins, Stauffer, Vozar, Wehrli, and White

 Spa License - this seems to be cost prohibited. We have the same problem
 that we had before.They are doing it and not being licensed. The Mayor would
 like all of these establishments to be in compliance. He would like the Liquor
 Commission to consider making this less of a hurdle both in the cost of the
 license and consider limited serving establishments not being required to have
 all of their employees BASSET trained. He would like this on the agenda for the
 next meeting.

 Jennifer Lutzke, Senior Assistant City Attorney, stated that the State requires
 everyone serving alcohol to take BASSET.
