Wilks Mayor Attest: M. Lisa Angell Village Clerk Village of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO:VILLAGE BOARD FROM:MAYOR IRVANA K. WILKS AS LIQUOR COMMISSIONER DATE:APRIL 14, 2011 SUBJECT:RETROBISTRO 1746 W. GOLF ROAD LICENSE RENEWAL – CHANGE FROM CLASS F-3 LICENSE TO CLASS S-6 Background-- In Mount Prospect, all liquor licenses (68 in total) must be renewed each year by the end of April. As Liquor Commissioner I have the authority to renew the licenses with my signature if the renewal applications and fees are properly submitted. As you know, I do not have the authority on my own to create, delete or change the license classifications. All of those are submitted to the Village Trustees to be voted on at a Village Board Meeting. Retro Bistro Hearings– Retro Bistro, 1746 W. Golf Road: Lorraine Barth –Owner of Licensee –has a Class F-3 (food service license). On November 9, 2010, December 2, 2010 and December 14, 2010 hearings were held before the Local Liquor Control Commissioner on charges of certain violations with respect to this licensee. On December 16, 2010, as Liquor Commissioner, I entered an Order that among other things, established a probationary period for this restaurant. Retro Bistro has submitted their renewal application and fees for 2011/2012. Although Mrs. Barth has operated the restaurant without problems for years, the seriousness of the violations which led to the hearings caused me to pause before renewing the license. However, we do have a classification (Class S-6–a license with special conditions) which allows me to keep the restaurant in business, and at the same time to extend the probationary period for at least one year. In order to change the license, the Village Board must approve an ordinance deleting Retro Bistro as having a Class F-3 and establishing the license as a Class S-6 with special conditions. Presently we do have one other licensee, Nina’s, with special conditions. Thank you in advance for considering this request.

WILKS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER DATE: APRIL 14, 2011 SUBJECT: TONY SACCO'S COAL OVEN PIZZA 182 RANDHURST VILLAGE DRIVE REQUEST FOR CLASS "F3" LIQUOR LICENSE On Tuesday, April 12, 2011, the Village Manager met with owners Erin and Jill Morgan regarding their request for the creation of a new Class "F3" liquor license at their newly constructed Randhurst Village location near the AMC Theater. The Class "F -3" license provides for the full service of alcohol in a restaurant with lounge. Tony Sacco's Coal Oven Pizza corporate is headquartered in Florida. Mr. Morgan purchased the franchise rights for the Chicagoland area and the Randhurst Village location will be the first to open in Illinois. Mr. Morgan indicated that the uniqueness of the coal oven cooking process is what distinguishes this pizza from others. The total building square footage is 3,400 square feet with an estimated 43 tables inside and another 14 in outdoor seating. The restaurant will be open seven days a week Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 10 :00 p.m. and until 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The Village Manager discussed at length the Village's particular sensitivity to the sale of alcohol to minors or clearly intoxicated persons. The requirements of the Village's Fight Ordinance were also discussed. The Village Manager made it very clear to all present that the restaurant managers were responsible for the actions of all restaurant employees with regard to the service of alcohol. Also discussed was the need for all employees involved in the delivery of alcohol to complete a certified liquor servers training course. A completed application as well as all other required documentation is on file. Both Mr. and Mrs. Morgan have completed background checks and fingerprinting in association with the Tony Sacco's application. 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 "FT' License would need to be adopted.
