Chapter 13 Liquor Code RevisionsVillage of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: BOARD OF TRUSTEES VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL JANONIS POLICE CHIEF MICHAEL SEMKIU FROM: MAYOR /LIQUOR COMMISSIONER ARLENE A. JURACEK DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 2013 RE: PROPOSED REVISIONS TO CHAPTER 13 OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT VILLAGE CODE REGARDING THE LICENSING, SALE AND SERVICE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES 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. This memo will not attempt to highlight every change being proposed; however, I would like to point out five major areas for your consideration. These are: Bring Your Own Bottle Service (BYOB), designated as Corkage Service: Two types of such service are contemplated: (a) an establishment that already has a valid liquor license but that wishes to allow its patrons to bring in special wine to enjoy with a meal; and (2) a restaurant that does not otherwise have a liquor license but wishes to allow patrons to bring their own wine to accompany a meal. This change has been requested by high -end restaurants whose clientele have requested the ability to bring in special wines not on the restaurant's normal menu. Additionally, this provides new dining establishments that may not yet have sufficient cash flow to stock alcoholic beverages, or who do not wish to do so, to offer an attractive dining experience to patrons. Licensure and training are still required. 2. Bottle Service at Banquet Halls: This change would allow bottle service of spirits at individual tables to guests specifically invited to private events at banquet halls. This change has been requested by banquet halls in order to meet the social and hospitality expectations of their potential clients where social custom, particularly among some ethnic groups, includes such bottle service. I, myself, growing up in the Eastern European tradition, have been at many events outside Mount Prospect where such service is the norm. No such bottle service would be allowed under any circumstances in other than a banquet hall hired for a private event. Thus, VIP service as one might see advertised in clubs and venues outside Mount Prospect is not allowed. 3. Service at Barbershop, Beauty Shop, Spa and Cosmetic Establishments: Such service is currently not allowed in Mount Prospect, although in the past was offered in several establishments. Lake Zurich has recently codified the requirements around such service, and the proposed changes are modeled after their ordinance. 4. Consolidation of various special permits into a single Ad Hoc Temporary Permit classification: This simplifies the code and recognizes that unique circumstances can arise surrounding such events requiring the Liquor Control Commissioner to exercise discretion and impose conditions as deemed necessary to regulate service. 5. Due Process: Changes are proposed to Section 13.301 to facilitate due process. I would like to acknowledge the experience and expertise provided to me in developing this proposal from Ms. Doreen Jarosz who administers our liquor license program, our village attorney Buzz Hill, Messrs. Janonis and Strahl, and Alex Bertolucci who conducted research into the ordinances and practices of neighboring municipalities. I also wish to acknowledge our Village attorney, who has assisted in creating a matrix of violations and penalties to help assure there is uniform and non - discriminatory administration of consequences in the event of violations of the liquor code within the Village. 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. Thank you.
