April 22 , 1985 The Elgin Liquor Commission held a special meeting on April 22 , 1985 , at 6 : 00 p.m. , in the Council Conference Room of City Hall. Board President Verbic called the meeting to order. Members present : Board Member Andersen, Shales and Board President Verbic. Absent : None. Consideration of request of Thomas ' Boulevard Tap, 297 South McLean, for an extended hour permit . Frank Vize and a representative from the Eagle Forum were present to object to the late hour permit and the obscene fashion shows taking place in licensed establishments . Board President Verbic stated that he had been against extending the hours from the very first , but an ordinance had been passed permitting same and in this case Thomas ' Boulevard Tap had met all the required criteria. Mr. Verbic stated the Mr. Thomas had ceased the operation of fashion shows in his establishment . Board Member Shales stated the original intent of the late hour permit was to assist in the promotion of banquets and conventions. The holder of a late hour permit is required to serve food in conjunction with the beverages and this does not mean just a bag of chips or the like, but a regular menu. In addition the licensee is also required to have a seating capacity for 150 or more persons and off-street parking large enough to accommodate such capacity. Board Member Andersen stated that he had heard that this establishment planned to have a beer garden outside on the roof of the establishment . Mr. Thomas stated that this venture had been benched and they were not going through with it . Board Member Andersen felt this was practical because this establishments backs up to residences and he was sure there would be complaints from the neighbors. Board Member Andersen made a motion, seconded by Board Member Shales to approve the late hour permit for the aforementioned establishment . Yeas: Board Member Andersen, Shales and Board President Verbic. Consideration of request of Rathjen House, 835 Summit Street for an extended hour permit . Attorney Blondin referred the Commission ' s attention to a memorandum from George Brinkman, Sanitarian wherein Mr. Brinkman stated that on April 16 , 1985 he stopped at the Rathjen House Restaurant . Since the owner was out of Elgin Liquor Commission Meeting April 22 , 1985 Page 2 tow Mr. Brinkman talked to the bartender and she stated that their kitchen was closed and had been for about a month. Mr. Brinkman asked when it was going to re-open and was told in the next month or month and a half. Attorney Blondin stated that it appears that the Rathjen House may be in violation of its Class E liquor license as they are not operating as a restaurant . A Class E license can only be held by an establishment operating a restaurant . Attorney Blondin recommended that a hearing be scheduled to determine if the Rathjen House is operating as a restaurant . If such a hearing is to be scheduled the Commission should authorize the issuance of a subpoena for the business records of the Rathjen House. Board Member Shales made a motion, seconded by Board Member Andersen to schedule a hearing on May 1st or May 2nd. Yeas : Board Member Andersen, Shales and Board President Verbic. Nays: None. Consideration of request by Cheker Oil, 1570 Big Timber Road for issuance of a Class B Liquor License. The City Clerk advised the Commission that all the documents required for the issuance of this license had been received by her office, except for liquor liability insurance, which would be forwarded if approval of the license is granted. Board President Verbic stated he could not understand a company paying the initial $10 , 000 fee for said license when there is pending legislation to prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with the sale of gasoline. The Commission felt that perhaps they should recommend to the Council that a moratorium be placed upon such establishments requesting licenses until after a decision on the pending bill has been rendered. Board Member Andersen made a motion, seconded by Board Member Shales to approve the issuance of a Class B license to Cheker Oil. Yeas: Board Member Andersen, Shales and Board President Verbic. Nays: None. Memorandum from Assistant Corporation Counsel re Fashion Shows - Obscenity Conviction. Attorney Blondin stated that on March 1, 1985 three persons were tow arrested ( two at the Grocery Store Pub and Wherehouse and one at the Rathjen House ) and charged with violating Elgin ' s Obscenity ordinance. The defendants were displaying see Elgin Liquor Commission Meeting April 22 , 1985 Page 3 through garments and lingerie as part of fashion shows being conducted at the two locations . On Monday March 18th, the three defendants admitted that the allegations , as charged, were true. The court placed the defendants on six month supervision and imposed a fine of $100. 00 plus costs. The court suspended the fine contingent upon there being no further violation of a like nature by the defendants during the supervision period. Board Member Andersen asked who the defendants were that were arrested. Attorney Blondin stated the girls who were doing the modeling. Memorandum from Assistant Corporation Counsel re Regulation of Fashion Shows . Attorney Blondin stated that based on his review, the Liquor Commission should consider the following options: 1. Control fashion shows using the existing obscenity ordinance. It is shown that a violation has occurred then the license of the offending establishment could be suspended or revoked. This mthod presents some enforcement problems in that violation may be difficult to prove, estpecially for borderline cases, and would not eliminate non-obscene , but perhaps still objection- able, fashion shows. If this option is chosen, it is recommended that the liquor ordinance be amended to specifically prohibit obscene performances . 2 . Fashion shows in licenses establishments could be regulated as to time and days when the shows could be conducted; the location of the shows; the items which could and could not be displayed; the manner of display or other matters as deemed necessary. This method would not prohibit the shows but could regulate their conduct . Fashion shows could be prohibited completely within licensed establishments pursuant to the board powers of the City Council to regulate activities in establishments holding a liquor license. This would be the easiest option to enforce and could be accomplish- ed with an ordinance similar to that used in North Aurora or with an outright ban on such shows. Board Member Shales stated that she would like to see the fashion shows prohibited completely, except for a legitimate type fashion show wherein a permit would have to be issued and only one permit per year would be issued to any one individual. r i Elgin Liquor Commission Meeting April 22 , 1985 Page 4 Board President Verbic stated that he favored Option #1. Board Member Andersen stated that Option #1 has the biggest hammer, but he thought it also needed to recite that this type of violation would also violate the liquor ordinance. Attorney Kevin McCarty, representing the Wherehouse, stated that he would like to know the basic concerns against the fashion shows so they could be eliminated. Board Member Shales stated she did not think bars were the proper place for any fashion shows and there should be no sale of clothing allowed. Board Member Shales stated she would go along with Option #1 if the liquor ordinance was amended to ban the sale of any clothing in bars. Board Member Shales made a motion, seconded by Board Member Andersen for the Assistant Corporation Counsel to draft and ordinance IN accordance with the provisions of Option #1, including the ban relative to the sale of clothing in bars. Said ordinance to also recite a violation of the liquor ordinance when conducting unauthorized fashion shows. Yeas: Board Member Andersen, Shales and Board rft. President Verbic. Nays: None.

The City Clerk advised the Commission that all the necessary documents for the issuance of the subject license were in her possession. Board Member Shales made a motion, seconded by Board Member Andersen to issue the subject license. Yeas: Board Member Andersen, Shales and Board President Verbic. Nays: None. Presentation by Attorney Warren Carbary re possibility of liquor license issuance for the South End Tap, should annexation of the subject property to the City of Elgin take place. Attorney Carbary explained that he represented Larry Hintz , who recently purchased the Collingborne property, consisting of approximately 29 acres , a portion of which was annexed to the City in 1953 . Mr. Hintz paid $375 , 000 for this property. Mr. Hintz operates a trucking business in this location as well as existing rental units . The portion of this property on which the former South End Tap was located is situated outside the City limits , and when the tavern was in operation it was done with a County liquor license. Mr. Carbary advised that Mr. Hintz is interested in re- opening the subject tavern and when they appeared before the County Liquor Commission they were advised to come to the City of Elgin, because it was their reasoning that all of this property should be annexed to the City. Roger Dahlstrom stated the zoning would not be a conflict with the City' s Comprehensive Plan, but the owner would have to meet structural compliance with the code before any annexation would be considered. Gordon Burkart , Assistant Chief/B. I.S. submitted to the Commission a memorandum dated November 25, 1985 , which outlined some of the requirements needed with regard to code compliance. ( a copy of said memorandum is attached hereto and made a part of these minutes ) Elgin Liquor Commission Meeting November 27, 1985 /e". Page 2 tt Board President Verbic pointed out that it would be an expensive project for Mr. Hintz to undertake in order to bring the property up to code. Attorney Carbary stated that both he and his client understood that , but they were simply doing what they had been told to do by the County. Mr. Hintz stated that he did plan to renovate all of the subject premises, but this would take a period of time and a great deal of money. Attorney Blondin stated the Commission would also have to deal with the non-conforming use in that part of the premises being used for rental apartments and a tavern. The Commission asked that Deputy Burkart make a further more extension inspection of the subject premises . The Commission also requested a cost estimate in connection with bringing the property up to code compliance. In the meantime the Commission suggested to Attorney Carbary that he go back to the County, explain the costs involved emm- in meeting compliance for annexation to the City of Elgin, and ask that the County issue a license to Mr. Hintz until such time as Mr. Hintz can be annexed. Attorney Carbary thanked the Commission for addressing this problem and stated that he would make another attempt to obtain a license from the County. Adjournment There being no further business to come before the Elgin Liquor Commission, Board Member Shales made a motion, seconded by Board Member Andersen to adjourn this meeting. Yeas: Board Member Andersen, Shales and Board President Verbic. Nays: None . The meeting was adjourned at 5 : 10 p.m. Marie Yearman, ity Clerk November 25, 1985 MEMORANDUM TO: Marie Yearman, City Clerk FROM: Gordon Burkart, Assistant Chief/B. I.S. SUBJECT: South End Tap - Located at approximately 1027-1029 St. Charles St. Possible Annexation Requirements--For Informational Use Only 1.
