The menu will consist of family style wrapped Korean cuisine. The restaurant will be open seven days a week, offering a lunch and dinner menu. Hours of operation will remain the same with only dinner being served on Sunday's. The existing staff will remain as will the general decor of the establishment. The Village Manager discussed with the owner and manager the requirements of the Village's Liquor Code including the need to be mindful of sales to minors as well as obviously intoxicated persons. The requirements of the Village's Fight Ordinance were also discussed. The Village Manager also emphasized the need for appropriate controls to be in place to insure that restaurant employees do not inadvertently violate code requirements. Both indicated they understood their obligations in this regard. A completed application along with fees and most required documentation are on file. Fingerprinting and a background checks are in process. Due to the limited experience of the owner and manager, a classroom (vs.on -line) certified liquor server class should be a prerequisite to issuance of a license.

WILKS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL JANONIS DATE: JUNE 12, 2012 SUBJECT: MIA'S CANTINA 143 PROSPECT AVENUE REQUEST FOR A NEW CLASS "F -3" LIQUOR LICENSE On Tuesday June 6, 2012 the Village Manager met with owners Joy Ann Aguado, Linda Menconi and manager Esteban Aguado regarding their request for the creation of a new Class '74' liquor license for the above referenced establishment. The Class "F -3" license provides for the delivery of full service alcohol in conjunction with a lounge. Mia Cantina will occupy the former Cafe Boulevard retail space in downtown Mount Prospect. The total building square footage is 2,400 square feet with an estimated 17 dining tables. Mesdames Aguado and Menconi indicated the theme of the restaurant will be eclectic Mexican cuisine from all of the different regions of Mexico. The restaurant will be open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. The owners also plan to have outdoor dining in season. They hope to open for business in early July. Neither Mesdames Aguardo nor Menconi has had previous restaurant experience with the sale and delivery of alcoholic beverages. Mr. Aguardo, however; is very knowledgeable in food service. He has eighteen years of experience as a manager, chef and master mixologist at La Casa Bonita in Libertyville, Fuego's in Arlington Heights, Frontera Grill and Adobe Grill in Chicago. All principals have successfully completed a certified liquor servers' training course as a condition of issuing the License Due to the lack of on -site parking, Ms. Aguado sought to enter into an agreement with the Village of Mount Prospect for an off -site parking lease. The former tenant Cafe Boulevard had a similar parking agreement. Under the agreement Ms. Aguado would lease fifteen spaces in the Village's Wille Street lot at an annual rent of $1350.00. On April 26, 2012 the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of an off -site parking agreement for 143 W. Prospect Avenue and on May 25, 2012 the Village Board approved the lease agreement with the following conditions: A. Lessee shall use said Premises for the parking of motor vehicles for Lessee's patrons and/or employees in connection with Lessee's restaurant business at 143 Prospect in Mount Prospect, Illinois. B. Lessee's employees shall park in the Wille Street parking lot. Beyond the conditions listed, patron parking is available along Prospect Avenue within the existing time restrictions. The Village Manager discussed with the applicants the requirements of the Village's Liquor Code including the need to be mindful of sales to minors as well as obviously intoxicated persons. The requirements of the Village's Fight Ordinance were also discussed. The Village Manager also emphasized the need for appropriate controls to be in place to insure that restaurant employees do not inadvertently violate code requirements. Both Mesdames Aguado and Menconi indicated they understood their obligations in this regard. A completed application along with fees and required documents have been submitted. The owners have submitted to fingerprinting and background checks. If the Village Board considers this application favorably, an Ordinance creating a new Class "F -Y liquor license should be adopted.

Wilks Date: June 11, 2012 Subject: Designated President/Mayor Pro Tem Our Village Code requires us each year to elect one of the Village Trustees to serve as President/Mayor Pro Tem. This agenda item appears under the Mayor's Report for the June 19 Board Meeting. (Attached is Ordinance #5423 which governs the Designated President/Mayor Pro Tem election — qualifications and procedures.) I will be nominating Trustee Paul Hoefert to be President/Mayor Pro Tem. I have confirmed with Trustee Hoefert that he is willing and able to serve. The ordinance outlines how other nominations can be made by trustees. The term should begin July 1, 2012 and continue to June 30, 2013. As you know, Trustee John Matuszak has served as Mayor Pro Tem for this past term. For your convenience, I've outlined the parliamentary procedure I will follow. 1) 1 will nominate Trustee Hoefert. It will need a second. 2) Then I will take other nominations. Each nomination must receive a second. 3) When all nominations have been made, a motion should be made to close nominations. This requires a second and a majority of the vote of trustees at the meeting. 4) We will discuss each nomination and his /her qualifications. We may adjourn into closed session if deemed necessary (see Exhibit A). A motion, second and vote must be done to go into closed session for the purpose of personnel. The discussion and procedures will follow requirements governing closed sessions. 5) Final vote on each nomination must be done in open session. Mayor Pro -Tem Memo Page 2 6) At the close of discussion, the Village Clerk will call the vote on each nominated candidate in the order in which the nominations were made and seconded. Abstentions shall be counted as a "no" vote. 7) Balloting shall continue until one of the candidates receives four affirmative votes of the President and Trustees voting jointly. 8) If the motions fail, and we are unable to select a Mayor Pro Tem with this procedure, in the Mayor's absence, you must nominate and elect the Mayor Pro Tem at the beginning of each Board or COW meeting. In case emergencies arise between meetings when we have no Mayor Pro Tem, you trustees would have to elect one at a special meeting. 9) In case Trustee Hoefert is away at the same time that I am gone, you trustees also will have to convene and elect the Mayor Pro Tem for the meeting. I would like to thank Trustee Matuszak for his willingness to serve this past year as Mayor Pro Tem. His filling this necessary position allowed me to be absent from the Village and yet know that I had left it in very capable hands. Designating a President/Mayor Pro Tem is critical to the functioning of the Village of Mount Prospect should something happen to a sitting Mayor, or should she be absent from the Village. See below the list of Mayors Pro Tem and the dates served. Thanks in advance for your help in this always - difficult process. Feel free to contact me if you have comments or questions.

WILKS DATE: JUNE 12, 2012 SUBJECT: YOUTH COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS /REAPPOINTMENTS With this memo, I will be asking you to approve appointment of one new member of the Youth Commission and reappointment of three members: for a total of four (4) youth members. Although there are adult advisors which serve, they are non - voting members. Only the youth who can vote can constitute a quorum. The Village Code for the Commission requires "a minimum of eleven (11) members and a maximum of twenty -one (21)." (A quorum for a commission /board with eleven members is six (6).) Because we now have four, the Commission is temporarily suspended. We have been notified by our Village Clerk, Lisa Angell, that Youth Commission meetings with only four members would violate the Open Meetings Act. Ms. Angell and I met with the Commission to explain the membership issue and to seek input from both the youth and adult advisors. This commission will not be allowed it to meet until their numbers have been increased, or the ordinance is re- written to lower the required number. The youth and adults will spend the summer trying to recruit new members. This has been a great commission and has served the Village since its creation in 1997. Today's youth are very busy with school activities and other unpredictable events in their lives; the Commission has found it hard to have quorums even when their numbers were high.
