The Tilted Kilt has been operating at this location since 2013. Due to a recent change in ownership, the previously issued liquor license was terminated per Sec. 6-7 of the City of Aurora liquor ordinance.

Attached is the application submitted for your consideration. If approved, this resolution would increase the number of allowable liquor licenses as indicated in the accompanying Exhibit A to allow for the issuance of the license by the Commissioner.

IMPACT STATEMENT:
