III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
IV. CHAPTER 13 LIQUOR CODE REVISIONS
One of the key duties of the Mayor of the Village of Mount Prospect is to serve as the Village Liquor
Control Commissioner. This is a serious responsibility that must often balance the desires of the
commercial value added to our businesses created by the sale and service of alcoholic beverages, with
the need to uphold community standards and the safety and well -being of our citizens. As social
expectations evolve over time, as well as new commercial opportunities arise, it becomes necessary to
periodically review the "Rules of the Road" for the sale and service of alcohol. The proposed revisions
attached hereto reflect such a review and fine - tuning. The Village of Mount Prospect carefully and
conservatively regulates the sale and service of alcoholic beverages. The proposed changes are meant
to update, not overturn, the nature of our regulation. Being current with our regulation assumes an
added importance, as restaurants have become a key component of economic development throughout
the Village. Thus, these changes are complementary to our overall economic stimulus efforts.
I welcome your feedback and discussion of this very important proposal. Time is somewhat of the
essence, as licenses are up for renewal in the Spring and Ms. Jarosz would like to conduct a mandatory
workshop for all licensees in advance of renewal in order to explain and highlight any proposed changes
to the code. Appropriate staff will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate discussion.
