CHAPTER 13 LIQUOR CODE REVISIONS DISCUSSION Village Attorney Everette Hill provided a summary of sections which included substantive changes from the previous review and input. He also wanted to answer several questions that were raised by the Village Board. Among the sections highlighted was Section 13.201 regarding specific regulation of service and the requirement of a business license. Section 13.202 clarifies the fingerprinting requirement and provides fingerprint acceptance procedure for corporations and a local manager for in town coordination of the business. Section 13.204.1 addresses the caterers permit and separates it from the banquet facilities permit. He also highlighted the fact that any Mount Prospect license holder with a specific license may also cater off premises with the proper permit on a daily basis in addition of the optional annual license and any conditions that may be attached to such a temporary permit by the Liquor Commissioner. He also highlighted the revision to liquor service options at the golf course. He highlighted the hotel license regulation which includes definitions for options and the relationship with food service and banquet facilities. The Hotel license also clarifies the liability of the hotel owner regarding liquor service if alcohol is consumed on premises by a minor. He stated a hotel only needs a S1 license if they have a restaurant on site. He also clarified consumption on the hotel site without a license in a public area including language for hospitality suite regulation. He outlined the Home Delivery license regulations whereby drop-offs are not allowed and must be handed off specifically with confirmation to a person of proper age. He stated the lounge size regulations has been altered so that a lounge is no more than 50% of the total floor area of the premises. He also highlighted the location of service whereby no license could be issued to a place of business that is within 100 feet of a place of worship, school or hospital. He also highlighted the standardization of all license holders closing hours for liquor service. He also included a clarification that a manager or supervisor must be on the premises at all times and must prove that they have completed the alcohol awareness training (Basset). He did clarify that festival servers do not need Basset training. He also clarified that pitchers of beer or carafes of wine may only be served as long as at least two persons are eligible to consume the beverage within a thirty minute period at the place of service. He also highlighted the addition of more definitions reflective of the new license types. He included a revised definition of alcohol service to reflect the different delivery modes based on different license types. There is a clarification regarding a threshold of 25% of stockownership in a publically held corporation which states the fingerprinting requirements. License holders must be natural persons and not limited liability corporations for the purpose of fingerprinting. He also stated that there are only two promotion events allowed per year for any business without a liquor license. The final summary will be completed and presented to Village Board members for further consideration at a regular Board meeting in the very near future. V.
