Page 3 January 21, 1986 10 AMEND CH.13: An Ordinance was presented for first reading that would amend Section 13.115 dealing with the hours in which a liquor licensee can serve. As discussed at the January 14th Committee of the Whole meeting, it is proposed to reduce~ the closing hours as well as prohibiting the sale of alcohol before 11:00 A.M.,noon on Sunday. The proposed Ordinance requires closing at 1:00 A.M. and 2:00 A.M. on Saturday night (SUnday morning). The Class "G" liquor license classification was excluded from this amendment due to the fact that specific hours for service are established from 11:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Trustee Arthur presented an amendment to the proposed Ordinance, which amendment would delete Class "C" liquor licenses (packaged goods only) and permit holders of Class "C" licenses to sell between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 1:00 A.M., except Sunday, since opening hours on Sunday is twelve noon. Representatives from the following establishments spoke in opposition to the proposed Ordinance: Dominicks Finer Foods Walgreens McNeils Ye Olde Town Inn Stagger Lees There was considerable discussion on the subject with the license holders stating the following reasons for their objections: Loss of income Possible loss of jobs for local residents Patrons would travel to another town to have late night drinks It was stated by members of the Board that the one hour ~ in the evening would have little effect on business and that being able to obtain alcoholic beverages until 2:00 A.M. only encourages excess consumption which results in drunk drivers, creating a hazard for residents of the Village as well as the person drinking. Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Murauskis, moved to amend the Ordinance to provide for Class "C" liquor licenses to sell packaged alcoholic beverages from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 A.M. Monday through Saturday, inclusive and between~the hours of twelve noon and 1:00 A.M. on Sunday.

The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approving both variations by votes of 6-0. It was noted that this property is presently the subject of court action, due to the fact that no building permit was obtained for this improvement and that work proceeded even though a StoP Work Order was issued by the Cod~=- Enforcement Department.

Since Arthur Street is located wi.thin the corporate limits of Arlington Heights and, as such, the curb cuts necessary to implement the proposal must be approved by Arlington Heights.

Page 8 - January 21, 1986 ILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT Village Manager Terrance L. Burghard distributed the budget BUDGET for fiscal year 1986-87, which budget amount is 1986/; $26,841,945, noting that the proposed budget PRESENT! reflects a 4.17 % increase over last year but also noted that the budget is comparable to the budget of 5 years ago. The budget proposes the addition of 12 employees.

Public hearings will be held on the proposed budget, beginning on February 11th. These hearings will be televised on Cable T.V., as will all future meetings of the Village Board.
