The Village of Mount Prospect is currently involved in establishing a Sister City SISTER CITY relationship with the City of Sevres, France as part of the Sister Cities International PROTOCOL program. At this time, the Board discussed the appropriate Sister City protocol, copies of of which Board members received for review. This item was inadvertently omitted from the order of business for this agenda. The consensus of the Board was that the outlined protocol was appropriate; this will be followed by a resolution at a future meeting. Trustee Nocchi made a motion to authorize the Village to reimburse the Mayor and others who recently traveled with him to Sevres, France, on behalf of the Village in their Sister City efforts. Trustee Skowron seconded the motion. Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Lohrstorfer, Nocchi, Skowron Nays: Corcoran, Wilks Motion carried. Mayor Farley stated that he did not feel it was appropriate to accept reimbursement, and therefore declined. Mrs. Karsen, who traveled with the Sister City group, refused reimbursement and asked the Board to consider using those monies towards hospitality when representatives from Sevres visit the Village of Mount Prospect. Page 3 - October 19, 1999 AMEND An ordinance was presented for first reading, which would amend Chapter 13 (Alcoholic CH. 13: Liquors) of the Village Code by creating a Class "R" liquor license for Red A Chinese RED A Restaurant, 1749 West Algonquin Road. This Class "R" license provides for the serving CHINESE of alcoholic beverages at dining tables only. RESTAURANT Mr. Warren Tam, restaurant owner, addressed questions from the Board relative to a violation of the Village Code for selling alcohol without a license, in July, shortly after assuming ownership. He explained that he mistakenly thought the liquor license held by the previous owner was transferred to him with the purchase of the restaurant. Since appearing at a hearing before the Liquor Commissioner, he has obtained the necessary credentials, and stated that he fully understands the responsibilities and obligations required by the Village Code. Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Comoran, moved to waive the rule requiring two readings of an o~:dinance: Upon roll call: Ayes: Corcoran, Hoefert, Lohrstorfer, Nocchi, Skowron, Wilks Nays: None Motion carried.

GOLF An ordinance was presented for first reading, which would grant a Conditional Use for the ROAD conversion of a single-family residence to a church, and for the construction of a parking lot. The Zoning Board of Appeals had recommended approval, with specific conditions, by a vote of 4-0. William Cooney, Director of Community Development, indicated that earlier this same day, he received a revised site plan from the petitioner, and had provided the Board with copies. Because the Board had not had the opportunity to review the new information, which was substantially different from two other plans previously received, the consensus of the Board was that further discussion should be deferred to the November 16 Village Board meeting. The Board had numerous concerns relative to plans for the construction of a new garage to replace the existing one, intended use of the garage, an increase in the proposed number of parking spaces from 14 to 29, and water detention plans. Trustee Skowron also raised the question of whether the revised plans necessitate another review by the ~'-~ Zoning Board of Appeals. Page 4 - October 19, 1999 The petitioner, Rev. Hyung Sahn, Architect John Y. Klm, and parishioner Tony Kim addressed the Board's concerns, however, they are to present the Board with more detailed, final construction plans at the November 16 meeting. Trustee Nocchi left the meeting at this time. Trustee Corcoran, seconded by Trustee Skowron, moved to defer the first reading of the ordinance to the November 16, 1999 meeting of the Village Board.
