This event has the potential of 600 people coming to Elgin for a bowling conference. The Blue Moon have been contracted to provide food and drink for these participants who will not finish bowling until after 11 :00 or 12 :00 p.m. The Blue Moon is requesting that they be allowed to use one of their rooms for this event and have their hours for the service of liquor together with food extended to 5 :00 a.m. Counsel Jentsch stated he thought the ordinance should be amended to provide for special hours and the Commission might want to charge a minimal fee in this connection. The ordinance would further provide that each request for any additional hours would be on a case by case basis, reviewed by the Liquor Commission. Board Member Hansen and Board President Verbic concurred with this recommendation and Board President Verbic asked that the ordinance be prepared in time for the March 28th Council Meeting in order that the Blue Moon could commit themselves for this upcoming event.

Consideration of aver-oval to transfer the Class B Liquor License •ac age Goo's on y issues to ee an. • innie 'omac , • • a First Stop Liquors, from 415 Dundee Avenue to 455 Dundee Avenue. The Commission was advised that the Bethesda Church of God in Christ has filed a zoning petition requesting special use approval for the church which is presently located at 458 Dundee Avenue, across the street from the proposed liquor store site. The special use petition is scheduled to be heard by the Land Use Committee on March 21 , 1983. Lee and Minnie Womack stated that they had been purchasing the site at 455 Dundee Avenue on contract since 1980 and on the premise of being able to move their present license to this site they had expended large sums of money for architectural plans, and at the time they entered into the contract for this purchase the church was not located on their present site. The City Clerk verified that Mrs. Womack had consulted with her regarding the zoning of the 455 Dundee site prior to entering into said sales contract and was advised the site was zoned for the sale of packaged liquor goods . Attorney Rob Kramer, who represented the Church at the time of their purchase, stated that he did not agree with the interpretation of the B 3 zoning and felt that his clients did qualify for this zoning because they were a religious lodge. Attorney Jentsch asked if the members of the church paid dues or if it was just open to the public. Reverend James Marks and Mrs. Ora Davis stated that the members pay pledges and it is open to everyone. Board Member Hansen asked Mr. Deering what the Department ' s recommendation would be at the zoning hearing. Mr. Deering stated they would only disapprove if in granting the special use to the Church it would eliminate any commercial use because the property is zoned for commercial use in the area. Attorney Jentsch asked if anyone had made a survey to establish the distance from the church building to the proposed liquor store. Mr. Deering stated this had not been done but approximate estimates were determined from the plat book. Elgin Liquor Commission Meeting March 16, 1983 Page 3 Attorney Jentsch suggested that the Commission table the issue, that a survey be made and that the zoning petition be deferred to April 18th. In the meantime Attorney Jentsch would check the statutes further and see what could be resolved. Board Member Hansen and Board Member Verbic stated that both parties had a financial investment in the properties and they would like to be able to resolve the matter so that neither party suffered any financial loss. Mr. and Mrs. Womack, Ora Davis and Reverend Marks indicated they could function across the street from one another. Councilman Hansen made a motion, seconded by Board President Verbic that this issue be tabled until April 14, 1983, at 4 :00 p.m. , in order that the Corporation Counsel could research the matter further and the distance between the sites could be established. Yeas : Board Member Hansen and Board Member Verbic. Nays : None. Request to establish a beer garden by Avina Brothers, Inc. , d/b/a Bill ' s Tavern, 959 Villa.

Board Member Andersen felt that this would set a precedence for many other organizations who would want to use the parks .

Under date of June 1st, 1983, the State of Illinois Liquor Control Commission issued an order vacating and setting aside the revocation. Nick Toufexis, the license holder for Leitners has made arrangements with the State to pay the outstanding balance due them.

Application for bartender ' s permit by Jeffery Carrier The Commission reviewed a police report which indicated that Mr. Carrier was arrested and convicted in the City of DeKalb, in 1974 for attempted murder. Mr. Carrier was sentenced 6 to 12 years . Mr. Blondin stated that if the Commission desired to deny this permit, it would be necessary to have a hearing and to have Mr. Carrier present. The Commission felt that perhaps after nine years Mr. Carrier might be rehabilitated and in need of steady employment in order to retain stability. Board Member Andersen made a motion, seconded by Board Member Shales to tentatively approve Mr. Carrier ' s permit, subject to further investigation from the Police Department, regarding this charge and any other charges against Mr. Carrier.

Absent: Board President Verbic. Also present: Assistant Corporation Counsel Blondin and City Clerk Marie Yearman. Consideration of application for bartender ' s permit by Jeffrey Carrier. The Commission reviewed a letter from Chief Baird which recommended denial of bartender ' s permit to this individual . This recommendation was based on information received from the City of DeKalb, wherein Mr. Carrier was convicted of attempted murder, armed robbery and burglary in 1974. Mr. Carrier was also arrested for possession of cannabis and unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, but the record did not reflect a conviction on this charge. Board Member Shales stated that she would be interested in knowing what the applicant had been doing since the 1974 incident because there was the possibility that he had been rehabilitated and was in need of this job. Attorney Blondin stated the Elgin Police Department report did not indicate any arrests in the City of Elgin, and if the Commission desired more investigation it would be necessary to run the applicant ' s fingerprints through the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This procedure is used when an applicant is applying for a liquor license, and the charge for this service by the F. B. I . is $ 12.00. The City Clerk pointed out that if the applicant had not been honest in his application for the permit, the City would not have been made aware of his past record. Board Member Andersen telephoned Mr. Carrier ' s present employer and was advised that Mr. Carrier did inform his employer that there might be a problem in obtaining this permit and the reason therefor. Mr. Carrier' s employer stated that since hiring this individual he has performed all his duties well and is a hard worker. The City Clerk called Stetson Pools , which is a reference given by Mr. Carrier, and she was informed by Eunice Brooks that Mr. Carrier had worked for them for three or four months, they experienced no problems with this individual , and the reason he left this employment was a personality conflict with his r"' immediate supervisor. Elgin Liquor Commission August 29, 1983 Page 2 Councilman Andersen stated he felt this man should be given an opportunity to work and in view of the fact that his employer was aware of his background and was satisfied with his job performance, the permit should be issued to Mr. Carrier. Board Member Shales agreed with Board Member Andersen and stated that she would like to see the application form revised to include information from the applicants as to how long they might have resided in Elgin or elsewhere. Board Member Andersen made a motion, seconded by Board Member Shales, to approve the bartender ' s permit for Jeffrey Carrier. Yeas: Board Member Andersen and Shales . Nays : None.

Request to transfer Class B Liquor License from Chicago and State Street (Aguadilla Liquors) to the vacant Ludwig Milk Company property at Kimball and Spring Streets . The Commission was advised that Jerome Mowinski and David Thorsen are in the process of purchasing the business known as Aguadilla Liquors . It is their intention to move from the present location to the vacant Ludwig Milk Company service station at Kimball and Spring Streets . In connection with this move, Mr. Mowinski and Mr. Thorsen are making a request to operate a full line liquor store and also make use of the service station operation. It is their intention to operate the two functions as a fimk separate operation and in the name of separate corporations . Board President Verbic cautioned Mr. Mowinski and Mr. Thorsen, who were present at the meeting, that this business could only be conducted as two separate operations , and liquor and gas sales would have to be handled separately, similar to the Osco operation. Board Member Andersen made a motion, seconded by Board Member Shales, to approve the transfer of the Class B Liquor License, subject to receipt of the necessary documents for such a transfer by the City Clerk. Yeas : Board Member Andersen, Shales and Board President Verbic. Violation of Class J Liquor License (Elgin Municipal Code b.06.050 and 6 .06 . 150) Beer ' n Brat ' n Deli , Ltd. Attorney Blondin advised the Council that the owner of the Beer ' n Brat ' n Deli , Ltd. , has repeatedly sold beer and wine alone and not in conjunction with food to patrons in violation of Class J liquor license (EMC 6 .06 .050 (K) and EMC 6 .06 . 150 (H) ) . In addition he has sold beer to minors on September 22, 1983 in violation of EMC 6.06. 150 ( L) . eft. Mr. Blondin stated that he felt the ordinance covering the Class J license needed to be amended in order to tighten up the provisions of this license so that a plate of potatoe chips did not constitute service of food. The Liquor Commission agreed and asked Attorney Blondin to submit a draft of such amendment to them. Liquor Commission Meeting October 10, 1983 Page 2 Board President Verbic pointed out to Mr. Giambelluca, the owner of Beer ' n Brat ' n Deli , Ltd. , the serious matter of serving liquor to minors, and that this type of violation would not be tolerated by the city. President Verbic suggested that since this was the first offense that the establishment be suspended from the sale of beer or wine for one day. President Verbic stated to Mr. Giambelluca that future violations could bring about more drastic action by the Commission and possible loss of the license. Board Member Andersen made a motion, seconded by Board Member Shales to suspend the sale of beer and wine by the Beer ' n Brat n ' Deli on October 17, 1983 . Yeas : Board Member Andersen, Shales and Board President Verbic. Nays : None. Revocation of State of Illinois liquor license for non- payment of retail sales tax for the Apollo Restaurant Lounge, Inc. Attorney Blondin stated that an order of revocation was issued by the State of Illinois for the Apollo Restaurant & Lounge on September 16, 1983 . The reason for said revocation as stipulated in said order was the failure of the licensee (Nick Toufexis ) to pay an outstanding assess- ment ( retail sales tax) in the amount of $24, 707.38. This order became final on October 4, 1983 . Attorney Blondin further stated that since this order was not rescinded, the state law requires that local liquor license be revoked. ( It should be noted that no one appeared on behalf of the licensee) . Board Member Shales made a motion, seconded by Board Member Andersen, to revoke Liquor License #1520 for the retail sale of alcoholic liquor at the Apollo Restaurant, 835 Summit Street, Elgin, Illinois, for failure to maintain a State of Illinois Liquor License as required by the laws of the City of Elgin and State of Illinois .
