MAYOR GERALD L. FARLEY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
VILLAGE MANAGER

LIQUOR LICENSE REQUEST - CLASS W -
(RESTAURANT-CONSUMPTION OF BEER & WINE ONLY)
RUFINI, INC. D/B/A RUFINI'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT
TWO WEST BUSSE AVENUE
SUBJECT:
On Friday, January 23, 2004, the Village Manager met with Mr. John Sclafini and his
daughter, Jessica Sclafini, regarding their request for a new Class W Liquor License for
Rufini's Restaurant. The Class W License provides for the sale of beer and wine at
dining tables. Mr. Sclafini is the owner and his daughter, Jessica, will manage the
Restaurant on a day-to-day basis.
Rufini's is an Italian restaurant that opened on January 6, 2004 in the location of the
former Baby Lou's pizza and hot dog establishment. The restaurant is open seven days
a week and serves a lunch and dinner menu. The Sclafinis feel that a Liquor License is
necessary to the success of their business. Given the Italian cuisine, many patrons
desire wine as an accompaniment to their food choice.
This is the first restaurant for both Sclafinis. As such, the Village Manager is
recommending that Ms. Sclafini successfully complete a certified liquor servers' training
course as a condition of issuing the license. Ms. Sclafini is in agreement and is
currently undergoing said training.
The Village Manager also reviewed with both the Village's particular sensitivity to the
sale of alcohol to minors as well as over service to intoxicated persons. The Village
Manager informed the principals that they are responsible for the actions of all
employees and that it was imperative to establish an appropriate training program as
well as management oversight with regard to such sales. Mr. and Ms. Sclafini indicated
that they had read the Village Code and understood all of the requirements.

The completed application is on file with all required fees being paid. The principals
have submitted to fingerprinting and background checks. Appropriate insurance
documentation will be forthcoming. If considered favorably, an Ordinance providing for
the creation of an additional Class W License is in order.
