MEMORANDUM
TO:
Michael E. Janonis, Village Manager
Village of Mount Prospect
FROM:
Everette M. Hill, Jr.
DATE: June 4, 2002
RE:
New Liquor License Classification
Attached please find an ordinance creating an "MH" liquor license classification. The
new MH license will permit hotels to maintain a hospitality room where beer and wine may be
served on a complimentary basis between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. The service restrictions
are as follows:
2.
3.
4.
5.
To guests only.
With hors d'oeuvres.
In a room separate from the lobby.
No self service.
No room service.
This ordinance was created for the Board's consideration at the request of the Country
Inn and Suites Hotel management. They claim that business is very slow and that similar
ordinances in Schaumburg and Elk Grove Village have been very beneficial.
Our current annual license fees range from $750.00 to $2,500.00. Our club license is
$750.00. Since this is a complimentary service and is limited to three hours per day, I am
recommending a $750.00 annual fee.
ORDINANCE NO.
