Two Special Use Permits are being requested and considered by the City Council that are listed under General Business of the City Council. The first is for operating as a drinking establishment in a Neighborhood Business District, and the second is to operate a food truck park. Liquor Code Provisions The On-Premises Primary classification permits the sale of alcohol for consumption on the business premises, with sales of alcohol as the principal source of revenue. The minimum entry age for the establishment shall be eighteen (18) unless a special condition or license rider is issued to modify such entry age. Carbondale Revised Code - Procedure for Issuing a License The Local Liquor Control Commission may require evidence it deems necessary to make its findings based upon the standards and factual criteria for issuing or denying a license as set out below. Following the hearing, the Commission may grant a liquor license, contingent upon receipt of outstanding items, if it is determined that the approval of the license would not be detrimental to the general welfare of the City. If the Commission determines that a change in the applicant's plans is necessary to create grounds for the issuance of the license, the Commission may require such change(s) as a condition. The failure of the applicant at any time to adhere to or perform such condition shall be considered a violation of the Carbondale Liquor Code title. Criteria for denying an application for a liquor license: 1.The application does not contain all the information, supporting documents, or fees required by this title. 2.The issuance of the license would be in violation of any part of this title. 3.The applicant does not have sufficient financial assets to maintain the proposed liquor establishment or has demonstrated insufficient financial responsibility. 4.The applicant is a convicted felon who has not been adequately rehabilitated. 5.The issuance of the license can reasonably be expected to create excessive noise, traffic, parking, or litter problems. 6.The applicant has a history of problems with regard to violations of health regulations, laws, and ordinances at prior establishments owned or managed by the applicant. 7.The building in which the applicant seeks to operate does not meet building and zoning code ordinances and regulations. 8.The issuance of the license can reasonably be expected to create a nuisance, such as excessive and repeated breaches of the peace. 9.The applicant has previously had a liquor license revoked or suspended in this or any other state or jurisdiction. 10. The applicant is seeking a restaurant license and does not provide sufficient facilities or menu items to operate as a restaurant. Outstanding Items:The $100 application fee has been paid, and the criminal history checkdid not reveal anything that would preclude the applicant from holding a liquor license. All other items remain outstanding. Staff Recommendation: Approve If the Special Use Permits are approved by the City Council, there is no prohibition to operating as a neighborhood bar. Limited parking is available, but that is a challenge experienced by several licensed establishments. It is a factor to consider, but not necessarily a deterrent. The City Council will determine the maximum seating permissible as part of the Special Use application process. Staff suggests that the Commission consider the amplified sound licenserider and its potential impact on the homes in the neighborhood. This rider maybe approved at the time of issuance, but denied at the time of renewal or revoked at any time should the issue of sound become too much of a nuisance to the neighborhood. The Commission is also authorized to establish any specific requirements itdeems appropriate, given the location, nature of operation, and public safety, health, and welfare, as a conditionof the issuance of the rider (e.g., modified hours for amplified sound). If the Special Uses are not approved by the City Council, the liquor license will not be issued, as the Special Use approval is considered an"outstanding item".

Industrial sewer usage has risen substantially in recent years, resulting in more sludge production. In addition to the Water & Sewer rate increases adopted by the Council last year, staff presented and Council approved substantially higher surcharge fees, which only apply to industrial sewer users. These industrial charges are in addition to the standard per gallon costs included in monthlyWater & Sewer bills, which industries pay at the same rate as residents and businesses. In response to increased sludge production, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP)in November 2024. A provider was selected by staff and approved by Council in late March of this year. Additional funds forbiosolids management are included in the FY 2026 budgets, however the budgetary development process concluded prior to the selection of a provider and funding was based on limited information. Future budgets will be adjusted accordingly. More than $600,000 in revenue from industrial sewersurcharges is projected to be collected in 2025 (in addition to industrialmonthly Water & Sewer bills). The industrial sewer fee increase took effect January 1, 2025.The funding requested represents catch up expenses for excessive sludge removal that had built up over time and been placed in storage until the RFP process was complete. The City Council is requested to approve an ordinance authorizing a budget adjustment to the FY 2026 Water and Sewer Fund Budget in the amount of $123,060.00 for biosolids management.

As a result, the University lost a substantial amount of parking on the east side of the main campus. To address this issue, SIU approached the City regarding the acquisition of a City-owned parking lot adjacent to campus on the east side of South Illinois Avenue, commonly known as Lot #4. Following discussions, the City and the University determined that a land exchange would be the most beneficial arrangement for both parties. Under this agreement, the City will transfer Lot #4 to the University, and in return, the University will transfer to the City, the vacant property formerly known as Washington Square in the 700 block of South Washington Street. The City published a notice of the intent to exchange property, although such notice is not a legal requirement, as this transaction constitutes an intergovernmental transfer, pursuant to Section 1-13-10 of the Carbondale Revised Code. Additionally, the City conducted a public hearing earlier during this meeting. In order for the exchange to be approved, the City Council must approve the ordinance by a two-thirds (2 /3) vote of those Council Members present, but at least four (4) votes are required.

Goals : Goal #1: Provide a high quality-of-life and foster a sense of community for all residents Goal #4: Encourage progressive economic development, tourism, arts, and entertainment Goal #6: Enhance residential development/rehabilitation Public Content Originating Department: Community Development Background: Still Woods Bar LLC, is requesting the approval of two Special Use Permits, one for a Restaurant and one for a Drinking Place (Alcoholic Beverages), in order to carry out their business plan for a neighborhood, family-friendly hub for social interaction, cultural development, networking and business incubation to include a food truck park and bar at the old fire station building property they own at 300 South Oakland Avenue. Still Woods successfully acquired these two Special Use Permits from the City of Carbondale in late 2022; however, a Special Use Permit expires if the work that the permit allows has not been completed within 18 months of issuance of the zoning certificate. Due to some setbacks experienced during interior renovations, work fell behind schedule, causing some delays in the project. Now, the applicants have successfully built the bar, brought the restrooms up to current state plumbing code, and completed other improvements, and indicate they will be ready to open within the next few months. A public hearing regarding this request was held on August 13, 2025, by the Carbondale Planning Commission. During this meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously moved to recommend the two Special Use Permit requests, with no additional conditions. Attached for City Council review are the following: 1. AResolution approving and a Resolution denying the Special Use Permit for a restaurant and a Special Use Permit for a drinking place with alcoholic beverages. 2.

General Business of the City Council Subject : 8.2 Ordinance Adopting the 2018 International Fire Code (IFC) Meeting : Aug 26, 2025 - Local Liquor Control Commission and Regular City Council Meeting August 26, 2025 Type : Action Recommended Action : Approve an ordinance adopting the 2018 International Code Council Fire Code (IFC) Goals : Goal #1: Provide a high quality-of-life and foster a sense of community for all residents Public Content Originating Department: Community Development Background: On October 8, 2024, the City adopted the 2018 International Code Council Model Building Codes, in part to comply with Illinois State law and to update the Citys residential, commercial, and property maintenance codes. At that time, it was also Staffs intention to update the fire code to the 2018 International Fire Code (IFC). Adopting the same edition year for both the building codes and the fire code provides consistency for staff, developers, and property owners by ensuring uniform enforcement and interpretation across a wide range of building and fire safety issues. This consistency also reduces confusion and promotes efficiency in code administration. In order to align both codes for consistency, Staff is asking the City Council to adopt the 2018 edition of the International Fire Code.
