DEFERRAL OF COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MINUTES FOR NOVEMBER 12, 2013 III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD IV. CHAPTER 13 LIQUOR CODE REVISIONS One of the key duties of the Mayor of the Village of Mount Prospect is to serve as the Village Liquor Control Commissioner. This is a serious responsibility that must often balance the desires of the commercial value added to our businesses created by the sale and service of alcoholic beverages, with the need to uphold community standards and the safety and well -being of our citizens. As social expectations evolve over time, as well as new commercial opportunities arise, it becomes necessary to periodically review the "Rules of the Road" for the sale and service of alcohol. The proposed revisions attached hereto reflect such a review and fine - tuning. The Village of Mount Prospect carefully and conservatively regulates the sale and service of alcoholic beverages. The proposed changes are meant to update, not overturn, the nature of our regulation. Being current with our regulation assumes an added importance, as restaurants have become a key component of economic development throughout the Village. Thus, these changes are complementary to our overall economic stimulus efforts. I welcome your feedback and discussion of this very important proposal. Time is somewhat of the essence, as licenses are up for renewal in the Spring and Ms. Jarosz would like to conduct a mandatory workshop for all licensees in advance of renewal in order to explain and highlight any proposed changes to the code. Appropriate staff will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate discussion. V. MANAGER'S REPORT • Status VI. ANY OTHER BUSINESS VII. ADJOURNMENT NOTE.
