Consideration of inquiry regarding sale of liquor by minors
at package liquor, grocery, and drug stores
In response to the above inquiry received by the City Clerk
Assistant Corporation Counsel, Dan Blondin, informed the
Commission that Section 6 . 06 . 137 of the Elgin Municipal Code
currently provides that "It is unlawful for a licensee to
employ or permit the employment of any minor in his place of
business except in connection with activities not related to
the sale or delivery of alcoholic liquors . " Based upon the
foregoing, it is unlawful to employ a minor at a sales counter.
In contrast, Section 6 . 06 . 137 of the Code makes it unlawful
for anyone under 21 years of age to " . . .dispense, draw, pour
or mix alcoholic liquor. " Attorney Blondin explained that it
was the intent of this section to exempt from its provisions
those individuals who would be involved only in the service of
alcoholic liquor, such as restaurant waitresses .
Attorney Blondin recommends that in the future these two
sections be combined so that employment of minors is addressed
in a single section of the Municipal Code.
rik
For purposes of clarification at this time, the Liquor
Commission stated that a person under 21 years of age may
serve liquor. However, a person must be at least 21 years
of age to sell liquor in Elgin.
Consideration of possible amendments to BASSET training
requirements
Commissioner Moylan made a motion, seconded by Commissioner
Fox, to reconvene the BASSET Advisory Ad Hoc Committee chaired
by Councilwoman Cheryl Popple, for the purpose of reviewing
the suggestions made by Thomas S. LoCascio, BASSET course
instructor at Elgin Community College, and Hanover Park Police
Detective Sean Beane, instructor at Harper College, and to
determine whether amendments should be made to the BASSET
training requirements section of the Elgin Municipal Code.
The committee will be asked to consider whether the ordinance
should be amended to provide for different types of programs
for different types of establishments and their employees.
Representatives from two Eagle Food Stores stated that the
current BASSET requirements do cause considerable hardship and
expense due to the labor force shortage and high turnover of
employees . Yeas : Commissioners Fox, Moylan, and Chairman
VanDeVoorde. Nays : None.
The Commission directed that Councilwoman Popple contact the
people who originally served on the committee to determine
whether they would be willing to be on the committee again.

Consideration of attendance of applicants for Class G and I
liquor licenses at meetings of Liquor Commission
The Elgin Municipal Code does not require that applicants for
a Class G or I (temporary) liquor license be present when
their application is considered by the Liquor Commission.
Assistant Corporation Counsel, Dan Blondin, recommended that
as a matter of policy the Commission require that a
representative of a Class G or I liquor license applicant

Fox, to require a representative of a Class G or I liquor
license applicant to be present at the liquor commission

operated by students in connection with the culinary arts
program. In a letter from Dr. Eric Larson to Mayor
VanDeVoorde, a request was made that ECC be able to apply
once a year for temporary licenses for each of the special
functions to be held during that year rather than having to
appear before the Liquor Commission prior to each individual
function. After discussion, the Liquor Commission determined
that a more appropriate solution might be to establish an
additional license class . The Commission directed Assistant
Corporation Counsel, Dan Blondin, to draft a proposed
ordinance establishing a new license class specifically for
Elgin Community College in conjunction with its culinary arts
program.
