WILKS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL JANONIS DATE: NOVEMBER 14,2008 SUBJECT: WAL-MART #1681 930 E. RAND ROAD REQUEST FOR A NEW CLASS "C-1" LIQUOR LICENSE On November 7, 2008 the Village Manager met with Mr. Keith Richards, Store Manager and Attorney Gretchen Chelsey, regarding Wal-Mart's request for a Class C-1 liquor license. The "Class C-1" designation provides for the sale of package beer, wine and spirits in a supermarket setting. The Wal-Mart at this location is being renovated to add an expanded grocery component. The store is scheduled to close on January 31,2009 for said renovation and reopen on or about September 8, 2009. Current plans call for the sale of beer and wine only in a non- refrigerated format. Alcohol will be located in the grocery section of the store. During the renovation Mr. Richards will work at another Wal-Mart location. The Village Manager reviewed with Mr. Richards and Ms. Chelsey the Village's particular sensitivity to the sale of alcohol to minors. Mr. Richards indicated that Wal-Mart has a sophisticated computer system that requires sales associates to check the identification of any patron who appears under forty years of age. Sales associates under the age of twenty-one will not be allowed to handle liquor sales transactions. A front end supervisor will complete the transactions. Additionally, the computer system will prevent sale of alcoholic beverages outside the allowed period for such sales. Wal-Mart Corporate also has an extensive in-house training curriculum that all associates must pass outlining procedures and responsibilities as they relate to the sale of alcohol. Wal-Mart currently operates 124 stores in Illinois that sell alcohol. Prior to the issuance of the liquor license Mr. Richards will submit proof that he has himself, passed a certified liquor server's course. A completed application along with required fees and all supporting documentation has been submitted. Mr. Richards has submitted to fingerprinting and a background check. If the Village Board favorably considers this request, adoption of an Ordinance creating a new Class "C_1" liquor license would be in order. MEJ/dj IS c ORDINANCE NO.
