IV* LIQUOR LICENSE REGULATIONS
From time to time, the Board has discussed a variety of measures
that they feel are important to our continued emphasis on
controlling the sale of alcoholic beverages and the conduct of
operations within our local liquor establishments. Attached is
some research prepared by Michael Steklac in accordance with
suggestions and comments made previously by various elected
officials,
In an, attempt to differentiate between a restaurant and a lounge
operation, it is clear that we must tie a Class S Liquor License
to the offering of a full service menu during all times that a
lounge is open. Additionally, the Board may want to consider
expressing in the Ordinance its intent that no more than 50% of a
restaurant's revenues would be derived from the sale of alcoholic
beverages. In this manner, a restaurant is more clearly defined
and the lounge operation becomes incidental to the restaurant's
operation. Our attorney advises us that with the issuance of
1987 Liquor Licenses, we can eliminate Class A Licenses which
currently permit consumption on premises as well as package
sales.
The Village's current Ordinance requires owners and managers to
be res.idents of the Village only when a License is issued to a
partnership or an individual. In terms of issuance to
corporationsr there is no requirement that the Manager be a
resident. The Board will have to determine as a policy matter
whether or not a restaurant manager will, in fact, exert better
control than a non-resident,,
I
The law is still unsettled as to whether local government can ban
"Happy Hours", although Village Counsel believes that Home Rule
Communities do have the authority. Mr. Steklac has suppoft,ing
research from the State of Massachusetts attached to the memo.
Nevertheless, it may be best to watch the situation over the next
months and re-examine it after a few Court cases are issued,
While these proposals are significant changes to the Liquor
Control Ordinance, they are not measures absent in other
communities or in other states. If the Board desires to proceed
with the redefinition of a Class S Liquor Licenselthe
admi"nistration will have the necessary changes drafted by our
general' counsel and available for a subsequent Village Board
Agenda.
