Public Comments.
Public Comments
Mr. Mike Pretschold
517 South Louis Street
Mr. Patterson (AMC) provided a very thorough overview of AMC operations; more than
adequate monitoring of alcohol sales/consumption in AMC theatres.
Police Chief Dahlberg is supportive of controls to be in place.
Discussed with neighbor with small children greater controls for alcohol sale
consumption at theatre than at major sporting events.
Lombard theater no issues with alcohol sold in theater
for new theatre.
Mr. Patterson, AMC Senior Vice President and Police Chief John Dahlberg provided
information in response to questions from the March 15, 2011 Village Board meeting.
Trustee Juracek - es that would allow
youth/families to be seated in a separate area.
Mr. Patterson stated the smaller theatres with luxury seats make it difficult to designate
segregated seating. Less and less space in theatre when put too many restrictions in
place. Movie studios control movies to theatres with ability to show movies in
unrestricted manner.
AMC does everything possible to control sale/consumption of alcohol in its theatres.
Requests the Village give AMC the opportunity to work with the ordinance as presented.
View this opportunity as a privilege, do not want to lose.
Trustee Hoefert stated the
compromise. Alcohol is part of our society but feels strict controls are important.
Recommends restricting alcohol in one (1), two (2) or three (3) theatre
Trustee Polit authority of AMC theatre staff to detain minor individuals violating
liquor code in theatres.
Police Chief John Dahlberg stated unless staff trained as security personnel, due to risk of
litigation, theatre staff were unlikely to attempt detaining the individual(s). Like retail theft
some offenders submit to authority, however there is risk that young people will leave
before Police arrive.
Mr. Patterson stated AMC theatres has on-site security that can be ramped up or down as
needed. Use security throughout the country on busier nights. He stated
cameras as well as security have been very successful.

If there were a lot of issues associated with the sale/consumption of alcohol in theatres for
AMC, the corporation would not be using this business model.
Scott Stipsits, US Operations
Director (AMC security representative) provided an overview of the theatres use of security
personnel; the theatre is budgeted for security seven (7) days a week. Mr. Patterson
added that security scheduling is fluid and could be directed around time of liquor sales.
Village Board Comments
No theatres in Illinois allow the commingling of alchohol; drinkers and non-drinkers in a
movie theatre, Mount Prospect would be the first.
No cameras in theatres to monitor activity
Not against AMC; concern solely with commingling of alcohol; drinkers and non-drinkers.
People to go to the theater to watch a movie; the concept is not to go to the theater to
drink alcohol.
Faith that youth are not going to theatre to hawk alcohol off of someone in theater.
of any municipality.
No cameras in theatres? [AMC cameras have limited effectiveness, better to use
alcohol monitors.]
Of those citizens who have commented most have been against the licensing; however
gives credence to Liquor Commissioner and Chief of Police controls in place.
Would be in favor of approving new liquor classification licensing can be taken away
faster than given.
Opposed to ordinance; facilitating teenage drinking
Mount Prospect has no experience with this type of licensing; why setting precedent
Alcohol in dark theater will have problems; mixing underage drinkers with alcohol
Underage drinking in Mount Prospect problematic;
Not the same opportunity for underage drinking in theater as there is in a house; theater
has trained monitors for alcohol sale/use by underage drinkers.
Responsibility is with AMC to make it work successfully.
ie Cheese, establishment for
kids, serves alcohol.
Additional remarks:
Ms. Irene Bahr, AMC attorney
There is a great incentive for the theatre to report rather than ignore liquor violations.
Failure to report any violation could result in automatic loss of license. Reporting problems
allows the theatre to work with local authorities to address problems and work with
authorities to keep license.
Police Chief John Dahlberg
In response to questions from Trustee Zadel, Chief Dahlberg stated that in his twenty-six
years on the police force there has never been a problem with teenagers smuggling in
alcohol to the theater. During his tenure on the midnight shift he was never called to
respond to alcohol related issues at AMC.
-
1) Service of alcohol limited to customer bar (separate from concessions)
All customers must show ID wristband
2) Only one (1) drink at a time per customer
3) Consumption alcoholic beverages can only be consumed in theater or lounge. No sale
or delivery of alcohol in theatres.

4) Containers- alcoholic containers must be different from non-alcoholic containers;
maximum size for alcoholic beverages.
5) Alcohol cannot be served prior to one (1) hour before movie
6) Bar/lounge area limited to 20% of front area of theatre
7) Employee training In addition to bartender another Basset trained employee must be
on staff at all times; monitor for alcohol misuse.
8) Most important control irrespective of where an underage drinker got alcohol and has
possession in the theatre, the theatre is responsible.
Mayor Wilks stated these protections are in place for people going to the theatre and
important to deter underage drinking.
Trustee Hoefert stated both sides have made excellent points; AMC has a beautiful theatre
but the sale/consumption of alcohol in a theatre is a thorny issue; not sure community is
ready for the commingling of alcohol in a theatre where both legal and underage patrons
are present. He
again asked Mr. Patterson if there was any opportunity for compromise.
Mr. Patterson stated AMC understands this is a change. Mr. Patterson stated a
compromise to consider would be to restrict the sale of alcohol up until a certain time in
designated theatre(s) determined by movie rating.
Mr. Patterson asked the Village Board to allow the theater to work within the regulations of
the ordinance as presented. AMC does everything possible to control alcohol in the
theatre and will work closely with local authorities on regulation and enforcement.
In respons
Village Code, Mayor Wilks responded that these items are covered in other Sections of the
Village Code; applicable to all liquor licenses. In addition she stated each liquor license
application is different and each liquor license classification carries specific
-es is the only one
(1) that requires alcohol monitors.
Mayor Wilks called for a vote of the ordinance amending Chapter 13.

Committee of the Whole meeting April 12. With an anticipated opening of April 29 and
several pre-opening activities AMC is facing a critical time constraint to obtain the
necessary local and state licensing, and set-up and training for opening MacGuffins.

asked for approval of the Special Village Board meeting. The Special Village Board
meeting would be held at 7:00 pm; the COW meeting would convene immediately following

REPORT Village Manager Janonis stated at the request of Trustee Hoefert items A., C. and D. were
removed from the Consent Agenda; staff will present these items for Village Board
consideration.
A. Request Village Board approval to accept Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC) bid
FORD EXPLORER for the purchase of two (2) new Ford Explorers in an amount not to exceed $53,500.00.
UTILITY VEHICLES
The requested vehicles are replacements for two Fire Department vehicles; 2003 Chevy
Imapala and a 2002 Chevy Impala. Both vehicles have high miles and their mechanical
conditions have deteriorated rapidly over the last year. Due to the age/mileage of these
vehicles it would not be cost-effective to perform the necessary major repairs both cars
require.
Staff recommend the vehicles be replaced with two (2) 2011 Ford Explorer Utility vehicles
with four-wheel drive. The new vehicles would provide adequate space to transport
necessary emergency equipment and the four-wheel drive is a needed component when
responding during snow storms and other weather related conditions.
Staff request Village Board approval to purchase two (2) new 2011 Ford Explorer Utility
vehicles from the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative award winner Currie Motors of
Frankfort, Illinois in an amount not to exceed $53,500.00 Mr. Breitzman noted the SPC
pricing for both vehicles was $343.00 less than the State of Illinois bid.
Trustee Hoefert stated he had no questions, but believes it is important for residents to be
informed as to why the Village is spending $50,000.
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved for approval of request to purchase
two (2) new 2011 Ford Explorer Utility Vehicles from the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative
in an amount not to exceed $53,500.00.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Juracek, Korn, Matuszak, Polit, Zadel
Nays: None
Motion carried.

The requested vehicles are replacement vehicles for (1) ¾ ton pickup truck purchased in
2001 and (1) ¾ ton pickup truck purchased in 2003. Both vehicles were deferred for
replacement from previous budget years and exceed the vehicle/equipment replacement
schedule criteria for replacement; reviewed the Life Cycle cost analysis.
Staff recommend the two (2) replacement vehicles be purchased during 2011 Budget year;
two (2) new 2011 Ford F-250, Super duty Pickup Trucks from the Suburban Purchasing
Cooperative award winner Currie Motors of Frankfort, Illinois in an amount not to exceed
$49,900. Mr. Breitzman noted the SPC pricing for both vehicles was $1,989.00 less than

FORD EXPEDITION
bid for the purchase of one (1) new 2011 Ford Expedition EL in an amount not to
MARK PATROL 4 x4
exceed $30,001.00.
UTILITY VEHICLE
In 2011 the Police Department is scheduled to replace three (3) Ford Interceptor squad
cars and (1) Chevrolet Impala detective vehicle. Based on their low mileage and excellent
condition, the Police Department recommends foregoing the purchase of these four (4)
police vehicles. In lieu of these purchases, the department requests the purchase of one
(1) Ford Expedition EL marked patrol utility vehicle. This vehicle would replace a 2005
Chevrolet Tahoe with 80,000 miles.
Based on the initial assessment for the need to provide a vehicle platform that affords
sufficient space for the equipment needed to functionally transport police evidence
technician equipment and the need to safely respond to emergency calls for service within
the Village during all weather conditions, staff recommend purchasing one (1) Ford
Expedition EL.
Staff request Village Board approval to purchase one (1) Ford Expedition EL under the
Suburban Purchasing Cooperative from Sutton Ford, Matteson in an amount not to exceed
$30,301.00. Chief Dahlberg noted the State of Illinois bid price for the same vehicle was
$33,155.00.
technician storage and workspace for the vehicle in an amount not to exceed $5,995.
Funding for this system is available through the 2010 Bureau of Justice Assistance Edward
Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant recently awarded to the police department;
$10,000 grant award.
