properly reflect a Class B license. A copy of the liquor liability insurance was submitted;
however a surety bond or a money order will need to be provided in the amount of $500.00
prior to the license being issued. The owners explained that they would like to open the
restaurant as soon as they receive approval of their liquor license; however they are still in the
process of cleaning and remodeling their building.

Mayor Fritz explained that the commission has accepted the Class B liquor license and will
make the recommendation to the Council to approve the request. This request will be placed
on the next Council agenda for the meeting to be held on December 1, 2015. If the Council
approves the license and the surety bond is received, the Clerk will issue the liquor license.
Ricardo explained that he currently owns the Camino Real Mexican Restaurant and another
Mexican Restaurant in Collinsville. The owners currently live in Decatur.
City Clerk Diana Pavley Rock asked if background checks would be required for the owner and
manager listed on the application.
The owner had a background check previously conducted when they opened the Camino Real
in Canton. Mayor Fritz explained that since the owners had a background check completed
previously they would not be required to have another background check conducted for the
new restaurant. The manager (Aldofo Hernandez) would be required to have a background
check completed since he did not previously have one completed by the City. The background
check would need to be initiated prior to the Council meeting. Mayor Fritz further explained
that if the background check is not finalized before the restaurant is open, the license will still
be issued. In the event that anything showed up from the background check a different
manager would need to be selected for this location.
Motion and second were made by Mayor Fritz/Commissioner Manock to adjourn.
The motion carried by voice vote and was unanimous.
