letters from Mrs. P. & Me, Mr. Peter's, Mt. Prospect Liquors, and

Mr. Ahrens from Ken's Den asked if other business license
fees would be raised. The Committee answered that there were no plans
for that at this time, however, those fees have been adjusted through-
out the years.
Mr. Cigelnik of Gold Eagle Liquors expressed concern about
the amount of the increase. He also asked if there was a possibility
that the Committee would consider some changes to the liquor license
ordinance which would allow for opening earlier on Sunday and for
more tastings/samplings than are currently allowed per year. The
Committee agreed .to look into these requests further, they want .to
see what other communities are doing.
Mr. Curtis of Ye Olde Towne Inn presented information regarding
the amount of sales tax generated by the Food and Drink establishments
in Mount Prospect. He asked that the growth in sales tax over the
years from this area be considered when setting the new rates. He also
suggested that these fees be reviewed more often so that the increases
would be more gradual.
The Manager of the Sizzler noted that beer and wine sales in
her restaurant were more for a convenience of the patrons than high
volume sales.
After discussion, the Committee unanimously agreed to recommend
increases to the Board as shown on the attached schedule. They will
report this recommendation to the Board on 'November 18, 1980. They
agreed 'to_consider the license holders requests for changes to the
ordinance ;at a future meeting.
Audit ,Modification U date
The Committee reviewed the Lester Witte letter outlining the
process that would be required to change the audit to include the
Library. The staff reported that the Village's financial consultant,
Ron Norene, had been contacted to determine if he had any concerns
about the qualification's impact on any future bond sale. Mr. Norene
did not feel that in light of the unqualified audit -received by the
Library, that there should be any problems with this audit whenever
the Village would sell bonds in the future. The Committee asked
that Mr. Norene be requested to send a letter to the Board expressing
that opinion.
The Committee recommended not to have Lester Witte re -do the
audit for last year. The Committee asked the Chairman to request
the Mayor to send a letter to the President of the Library Board
strongly urging the Library to engage the same auditor as the Village
in subsequent years to avoid any further qualifications on the Village
audit. In the -event that the Library is unable to use the same auditor,
the Village would expect a high degree -of co-operation from the Library
to avoid any delays or complications_
