WILKS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES , FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL JANONIS DATE: SEPTEMBER 11, 2008 SUBJECT: NEW CLASS "XX" LIQUOR LICENSE NINA RESTAURANT 1774-1778 WEST GOLF ROAD On June 24, 2008 Mayor Irvana Wilks, Corporation Counsel Everette Hill, Village I Manager and Administrative Assistant Doreen Jarosz met with Sanae Amafuji regarding her request for a new Class "S" liquor license. The Class "S" designation provides for full liquor service in a restaurant with a lounge. Ms. Amafuji currently operates Nina Restaurant at 1730 W. Golf Road with a Class "R" liquor license. The Class "R" liquor license provides for full service liquor at dining tables only. In conjunction with the request for a Class liS" license, Ms. Am afuji is planning to move the restaurant from its current location to a new, larger location within the same "Mount Prospect Commons" Shopping Center. The new location is the site of the former Spice Rack Kitchen operation which closed a number of years ago. During the normal application review and background check the Police Department reported that Ms. Am afuji had been arrested several times on charges of driving while intoxicate. However, none of the charges resulted in findings of guilt. This raised concerns with the Mayor who serves as the Local Liquor Commissioner. The June 24 meeting was held to discuss the circumstances surrounding the charges. During those discussions it was also determined that Ms. Amafuji was not operating her establishment in accordance with the requirements of the Village Liquor Code. The two material violations were: 1) she was serving patrons at a sit down bar in violation of the Class "R" designation and 2) she was allowing patrons to purchase and possess bottles of alcohol which she maintained for them in a manner somewhat similar to a "wine club" operation. Again, the Village Code does not provide for that type of service arrangement. A ,I After considerable discussion with Ms. Amafuji and consultation with Village Counsel and staff, the Mayor determined that it would be in the best interest of the Village if the requested Class "S" liquor license be issued as a Class "XX" license. The Class "XX" license provides for the sale of alcoholic liquor with special conditions. In this case the "XX" license will operate under the rules and regulations that govern a Class "S" designation. Other special conditions are attached hereto as Exhibit A. Ms Amafuji has been apprised of these special conditions and has agreed to strictly abide by same. Failure to do so could result in severe penalties up to and including license revocation. This is the first Class "XX" issued by the Village. A completed application has been submitted along with all required fees and documents. The petitioner has submitted to fingerprinting and background checks. If the Village Board considers this request favorably an Ordinance creating a Class "XX" would be appropriate. At the same time the existing Class "R" license would be deleted. MEJ/dj Mount Prospect Exhibit A MA YOR Irvana K. Wilks ~ VILLAGE MANAGER Michael E. Janonis TRUSTEES Timothy J. Corcoran Paul Wm.
