Lisa Angell Village Clerk Dated this 3rd day of February, 2015 Village of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO:ARLENE A. JURACEK AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM:ACTING VILLAGE MANAGER DAVID STRAHL DATE:JANUARY 27, 2015 SUBJECT:CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP EMERSON’S ALE HOUSE 113 SOUTH EMERSON REQUEST FOR CLASS “F-3” LIQUOR LICENSE On Wednesday January 21, 2015 the Acting Village Manager and Administrative Assistant to the Village Manager met with prospective owners Messrs. George Tselos and Nicholas Lynkouretzos regarding a request for the creation of a new Class “F-3” liquor license for the above-referenced restaurant. The current owner is selling and the purchase of the business is contingent upon approval of the liquor license. The Class “F-3” license provides for the full service of alcohol in a restaurant with lounge. Mr. Tselos previously owned, operated and held a liquor license in Franklin Park, Illinois at Crystal Fountain Cafe which was in good standing with the municipality. Mr. Lynkouretzos currently manages the family owned Crystal Sky Banquets in McCook, Illinois. Both intend to make this venture their full-time endeavor and will be on the site as the management team. The business will continue to operate under the name Emerson’s Ale House. Mr. Tselos indicated he anticipates the existing wait and support staff will remain with the restaurant and has created an employee handbook with policies and procedures to review with all employees. With regard to the décor and operation of the establishment, the applicants plan no substantive changes other than increased indoor lighting and the hiring of former “Ditka’s” restaurant Chef Baker to upgrade the menu featuring American Grill entrees. Lunch and dinner will be served seven days a week and hours of operation will remain the same. TheActing Village Manager discussed at length the Village’s particular sensitivity to the sale of alcohol to minors or clearly intoxicated persons. The requirements of the Village’s Fight Ordinance were also discussed. The Acting Village Manager made it veryclear to all present that the restaurant managers were responsible for the actions of all restaurant employees with regard to the service of alcohol. Also discussed was the need for all employees involved in the delivery of alcohol to complete a certified liquor servers training course. A completed application as well as all other required documentation is on file. Both Messrs. Tselos and Lynkouretzos have completed background checks, fingerprinting and Basset certification in association with the Emerson Ale House application. As required by the Village Code additional managers and individuals involved with the sale and service of alcohol must complete a certified liquors training course. If the Village Board views this application favorably, an Ordinance creating a new Class “F-3” License is recommended for adoption.
