He indicated the petitioners wished to present evidence with regard to a
school site and access roads to the property in question. It was the consensus
of opinion of the Council that such a request would not be feasible. Green
then announced that he was withdrawing the RDG petition prior to any action
being taken 'by the Council. City Attorney Narusis informed the Council
that he would investigate the matter and report back at the next meeting
as to whether or not Green had the right to withdraw the petition. It was
his feeling that it was legally right and permissible to do so.
Steve Luster of St. Regis Tavern addressed the Council as spokesman
for the tavern owners of the City of McHenry. It was their contention that
the increase in liquor license fees passed at the February 4, 1980 meeting
were excessive.
