SUBJECT:
On Friday, July 9, the Village Manager met with Store Manager Dan Harvey and Real
Estate Development Manager Theodore Johnson to discuss Costco's request for a
Class C Liquor License. The Class C License provides for the retail sale of package
liquors. Costco Wholesale, Inc., is a membership-based retail warehouse shopping
facility that provides a full line of goods including, but not limited to, household items,
tools, clothing, jewelry, foodstuffs and liquor. System-wide, Costco holds 298 Liquor
Licenses in 35 States and Puerto Rico. The Costco facility is currently construction at
Randhurst Mall with a scheduled opening date of mid-September 2004. The Randhurst
location will be Mr. Harvey's first assignment as General Manager. He has had a
number of previous assignments as Assistant General Manager at various Costco
locations.
The VHlage Manager reviewed at length with Messrs. Harvey and Johnson the Village's
particular sensitivity to the sale of alcohol to minors as well as to intoxicated persons.
The Village Manager informed Mr. Harvey that as General Manager, he was
responsible for the actions of all employees and that it was imperative to ensure that
safeguards were in place to prevent unauthorized sales. Mr. Harvey reviewed with the
Village Manager Costco's well-developed system for verifying the age of alcoholic
beverage purchasers. It was also noted that due to Costeo's membership status, the
incidents of attempted purchases by underage persons was significantly diminished.
Mr. Harvey indicated he had read the Village Code and understood all of the
requirements. Additionally, the Village counseled Mr. Harvey that the Village conducts
regular sting operations involving underage adolescents and that the penalty for such
Liquor Code violations could be quite severe.
A
A completed License application along with appropriate fees have been submitted to the
Village Manager's Office. Other required documentation has also been submitted and
is in order. Appropriate parties have been fingerprinted and submitted to background
checks. Insurance documentation will be forthcoming pending approval of the License
request. If the request is considered favorably, an Ordinance creating a new Class C
Liquor License would need to be adopted.
