We agree with the Village that the statutory provision at issue is ambiguous. See In re B.L.S., 202 Ill. 2d 510, 517 (2002) ("[a] statute is ambiguous when it is capable of being understood by reasonably well-informed persons in two or more different senses"); People ex rel.

However, the plaintiff contends that section 14(a) is not silent as to the voting requirements in matters of license suspension or revocation.
