MAIN STREET CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP /REQUEST FOR CLASS "F1" LIQUOR LICENSE On Wednesday, March 2, 2011 the Village Manager met with applicant Ms. Soon Nam Kim, Attorney Mr. Richard Kim and a current owner /manager of Sakura, Ms. Toshiko Paullin, to discuss Ms. Kim's request for a change in ownership for the existing Class "F1" liquor license classification at Sakura's Restaurant. Ms. Kim is currently under contract to purchase the assets and goodwill of Sakura Restaurant. The "F1" classification provides for the service of alcoholic beverages at dining tables only. Ms. Kim previously owned and operated a restaurant with a liquor license in Korea but does not have any experience with a liquor license in the United States. Ms. Toshiko will remain on as the manager and help with the transition. Ms. Kim plans no changes to the decor, menu or hours of operation. Ms. Kim is hopeful to keep Sakura's current loyal customers and not have any interruption of service or blemish the high standard reputation that Sakura has built over the years. Ms. Paullin has managed the restaurant for many years. The Village Manager discussed at length with Ms. Kim and manager the Village's particular sensitivity to the sale of alcohol to minors and over service to clearly intoxicated individuals. The Village Manager also indicated that Ms. Kim is responsible for the actions of all employees and managers. Mr. Janonis also covered the Village's Fight Ordinance requirements. Ms. Kim indicated that she has completed a certified liquor servers' course as a condition of issuing the license. A completed application as well as all other required documentation is on file. Ms. Kim has also submitted to a background check and fingerprints in association with the Sakura liquor license. As required by the Liquor Code all managers and individuals involved with the sale and service of alcohol must complete a certified liquor servers training course. If the Village Board views this application favorably, an Ordinance creating a new Class "F1" License would need to be adopted. MICHAEL E. JANONIS Mj /dj ORDINANCE NO.
