(C ) Adjournment VA p-rust k�1 Marie Yearma City Clerk Dated: April 19, 1984 Elgin Liquor Commission Meeting April 23 , 1984 A Special Meeting of the Elgin Liquor Commission was called to order at 6 : 10 p.m. , in the Council Conference Room of City Hall . Members present : Board Member Andersen, Shales and Board President Verbic. Absent : None. Request from Jewel /Osco to permit a change in the manner of display and sale of liquor. Mr. Larry Anderson, attorney for Osco Drug, Inc. , and Oak Brook Beverage Centers, Inc. , stated the Osco Drug Stores located at 1670 Larkin and 820 Summit are both combination stores with the Jewel Food Store Division. The combination store has become a common feature for Jewel and Osco in Chicagoland and outlying areas. Osco and Jewel share one building and one open space as a retail store. Osco has a lease with Jewel which they pay rent for specific space as well as common space including the central checkouts . This allows customers to have the convenience of purchasing both Jewel and Osco products and checking them out at central cash registers . We have found this convenience to be important for all products, including alcoholic beverages. Mr. Anderson further stated they would appreciate the ability to check out alcoholic beverages through the common checkout system rather than just at the register located within the liquor department. In conjunction with this change, we would also request permission to display beer and wine in other areas of the store facility. Assistant Corporation Counsel Blondin advised the Commission this manner of operation would violate several provisions of the City and State liquor laws . The Jewel Corporation has no state or local liquor license, they are not eligible to sell alcoholic beverages . Under the proposed type of operation the Jewel Corporation and its employees would be clearly involved in the sale of alcoholic liquor within the meaning of the State and City liquor laws. To permit this proposal the following would have to take place: 1 . Amendment of Section 6.06 . 100( D) to permit as the principal business of a license holder, retail sales of items other than alcoholic liquor. This would mean effectively repealing this section. 2. Issuance of a Class B license to the party actually conducting the sales ; that is Jewel Corporation. 3 . Issuance of bartender permits for all persons actually selling the alcoholic beverages or amendment of Section 6.06.040. Elgin Liquor Commission Meeting April 23, 1984 ri Page 2 '' Board President Verbic stated it looked as though the Commission had two choices here, ( 1 ) to make a recommendation to the Council to amend the present code and ( 2) to deny the Jewel /Osco request . Jame Osborne, owner of Northwest Liquors, stated that he was against this proposal . If the Jewel /Osco store was permitted to do this it would open the doors up to Eagle, Gas' n Grub, K-Mart and any of the other stores who wanted to sell liquor. Mr. Osborne stated the independents are having a hard enough time now and this would just take away additional sales. Board Member Andersen made a motion, seconded by Board Member Shales, to deny the request and to remain with the present ordinance. Yeas : Board Member Andersen, Shales and Board President Verbic. Nays : None. Mr. Anderson stated that the Osco/Jewel stores were presently undergoing some alterations and he asked that an additional register be installed within the liquor department. Board President Verbic suggested that floor plans be submitted to Assistant Corporation Counsel Blondin for his review. Adjournment Board Member Shales made a motion, seconded by Board Member Andersen, to adjourn the meeting. Yeas : Board Member Andersen, Shales, and Board President Verbic. Nays : None.

Mr. Sotos pointed out that it is difficult to try to promote banquets with the present hours . Mayor Verbic stated that he had mixed emotions about extending the hours because of the many DUI programs now being initiated throughout the city, county and state and it was his personal feeling that the 1 : 00 a.m. closing gave customers an ample period of time in which to consume alcohol . Mayor Verbic further stated that the Commission had extended the hours for a recent bowling convention and that should an occasion such as this occur again, the Commission could be requested to lenghten the hours for such an event. Mr. Booras stated that the Commission members may change from time to time and it would be difficult to promote these type of banquets not knowing how the present Commission members might feel about the request for later hours . Liquor Commission Meeting June 11 , 1984 Page 2 Counsel Jentsch stated that a special license could be built into the ordinance calling for later hours for a specific event. Mayor Verbic asked the Commission to table this matter for one month in order for the Legal Department to prepare some form of special hour license.

Further consideration of bartender ' s permit for Scott J . Nadig Assistant Corporation Counsel Blondin advised the Commission that at the Commission ' s last meeting he was directed to set up a formal hearing to consider the bartenders application for Scott J . Nadig due to his being charged in California with being an accomplice to an assault with a deadly weapon. Mr. Blondin stated that at that time he incorrectly advised the Commision that this offense would constitute a felony and that a subsequent review of California law convinces him that this would, in fact, have been a misdemeanor, not a felony. While conviction of a felony can be the basis for denying a bartenders permit, conviction of a misdemeanor, standing alone, cannot. Based on the foregoing Mr. Blondin recommended that Mr. Nadig ' s application be approved. Should the Commission desire, Mr. Blondin would advise Mr. Nadig to attend a future meeting of the Commission.

Members present : Board Member Andersen, Shales and Board President Verbic. Also present : Assistant Corporation Counsel Blondin and City Clerk Marie Yearman. Consideration of request by the Blue Moon Restaurant for a 4: 00 a .m. license. The Commission reviewed the following request from George Sotos , President of the Blue Moon: (A) Reason for request : ( 1 ) We are loosing the competitive advantage to restaurants located in Dundee and Schaumburg. (2) The continued declining revenues brought about by increased competition and the past recession. (3) The loss of potential sales to customers inside the premise that are going to leave the area and drink elsewhere whether Elgin has a late license or not. (4) Loss of potential convention business because promoters are never positive a late temporary license will be issued upon request. (8) Advantages : ( 1 ) We estimate additional revenues between $75, 000 - $ 100,000 per year. ( 2) Creation of 8 new jobs, possibly 10, and 2 additional working hours for 14 members of our present staff. (3) Additional tax dollars for the State and local Government. (4) It will give us the opportunity to bid on larger conventions outside our city bringing in additional dollars . Restrictions : The license could be issued based upon a minimum amount of space; 200 seats in the main room; food and beverage an essential item; minimum of 250 car parking spaces ; a well lit parking area not on Liquor Commission Meeting December 10, 1984 Page 2 a public street. A total fee of $2, 500.00 for the license could be set for those that qualify for the above. Conclusion : We appeal to you members of the Council . We are having a very difficult time surviving in this atmosphere. Not only are we faced with rising costs , in food labor, energy and taxes, but now we are faced with unfair competition. We are even forced to compete with a tax supported body, that of Elgin Community College who is actively soliciting our service organizations , banquets , and parties . This tax free supported body has tremendous buying power, a free labor market, and tax supported dollars , and you think that a privately held corporation can compete with that. Please consider our plight and request because I do believe our survival in the future rest with your decision. Si George L . Sotos Board President Verbic stated he was not in favor of the 4 a/m license because he felt it was contrary to the efforts of the DUI program. Board Member Andersen stated that if they could not get a drink there they would just get out on the highway and drive to where they could get a drink. Board Member Shales made a motion, seconded by Board Member Andersen for the Legal Department to draft an ordinance allowing the 4: 00 a/m license with the restrictions and license fee as outlined in the letter from George Sotos.
