"BE IT resolved by the Village Council of the Village of Monticello
as follows:
1. That the attached attorney General opinion is recognized as valid
law, and that the Village Council will abide by the attached opinion which
allows the Village to maintain its "on=sale" and "off -sale" liquor store
and annex territory containing private licenses without invalidating the
licenses, and may renew the private licenses.
2. That the Village Council will, in fact, pursuant to the above, renew
the private licenses.
3. That the license fees for the private licenses in the annexed terri-
tory will be somewhere between what the licenses now cost and what the
licenses cost in the villages in the area where there is no municipal
liquor store."
