 UNFINISHED BUSINESS

 14-00094 An Ordinance Establishing a Temporary Moratorium on Progressive
 Raffle Licenses in the City of Aurora.
 Chief Management Officer Carie Anne Ergo led a presentation on this item . Ergo
 explained that a situation with a raffle prize that went over $100,000 prompted the city
 to re-evaluate the raffle ordinance, at which time it became clear that progressive
 raffles were never contemplated in the ordinance, and are not allowable by strict
 interpretation of the ordinance. Ergo added that in the evaluation of the ordinance, it
 was noted that social clubs are not a permitted raffle licensee category. The
 moratorium, Ergo said, will allow staff the time to research and evaluate laws and
 best practices, talk to stakeholders, and come back to Council with a report and
 recommendation within 120 days.

 A motion was made by Alderman Hart-Burns, seconded by Alderman O'Connor, to
 allow speakers to address City Council. The motion carried by voice vote. The
 following speakers addressed City Council in regards to this item:

 Richard Waszkoviak, of Fieldcrest Dr. in Montgomery, representing the Tiger club
 Peter Vardouniotis, of Meadows Dr. in Sugar Grove, representing the Third Ward
 Club
 Lynda Babbitt, of Willow Way in Yorkville, member of the Tiger club
 Maria Rosas, of Iowa Av. in Aurora, member of the Luxemburger club
 Raquel Carriedo, of Spruce St. in Aurora, member of the Phoenix and Luxemburger
 clubs
 Craig Bonifas, of Gerten Av. in Aurora, representing the Phoenix club
 Bobby Miller, of Chestnut Dr. in Oswego, representing AmVets
 Steve Holt, of LeGrande Blvd. in Aurora, representing AmVets

 Mayor Weisner spoke briefly about this item, and said that the city will allow the
 continuance of regular raffles during the moratorium, and will try to come back with a
 recommendation sooner than six months. Mayor Weisner added that the city wants to
 include participation from the clubs, and come up with a recommendation that is fair.
 Ergo addressed questions from some of the Aldermen, and agreed to come to
 Council with an update before the intended completion of the recommendation.

 Alderman O'Connor moved, seconded by Alderman Saville, to insert an amendment
 into the proposed ordinance document stating that a report as to the status of the
 review of the raffle ordinance will be presented to Council on or before April 25th,
 2014. The motion carried unanimously.

 Alderman Bohman said she is a member of the Turners club, and her husband is a
 member of the Phoenix club, making her the spouse of a member. Alderman Bohman
 added that she holds no official decision making position at either one of these clubs,
 and therefore she does not have a conflict and will be voting on the issue.
 A motion was made by Alderman Saville, seconded by Alderman Mervine, that
 this ordinance be adopted as amended. The motion carried.

 Aye: 11 - Alderman Bohman, Alderman Garza, Alderman Mesiacos, Alderman
 Donnell, Alderman Peters, Alderman Saville, Alderman Hart-Burns,
 Alderman Mervine, Alderman Bugg, Alderman Johnson and Alderman
 O'Connor
 Enactment No: O14-009
