The other ordinance requires two forms of identification when the purchaser appears to be under the legal age of 21 years . The Commission directed the Assistant Corporation Counsel and the Police Department to determine whether Elgin' s current ordinances prohibit the attempt to purchase by an underage person. The Commission did not believe that an ordinance requiring two forms of identification was necessary. Discussion regarding Jewel/Osco The City Clerk reported that an employee of the Jewel store on Summit Street had requested that the Commission consider passing an ordinance or adopting guidelines setting forth what forms of identification are acceptable and how many are required. The Commission concluded that guidelines regarding these matters should be established by the managers or owners of each license holder. The Jewel store employee had also informed the Clerk that Jewel and Osco are two separate entities, and the question was raised whether the liquor license issued to Oakbrook Beverage Center, Inc. , d/b/a Osco Drug Store, would include the sale of liquor by the Jewel store. The Commission requested that Assistant Corporation Counsel Gehrman research the issue of the corporate structure for Jewel and Osco and determine whether one license would include both entities . Chairman VanDeVoorde also asked that the manager for the Jewel store meet with him and the City Clerk to discuss the corporate structure. r Liquor Commission Meeting December 2, 1992 Page 3 Public Hearing regarding Town Liquor, 300P South McLean Boulevard, Class B Liquor License No. 2283 - violation of Elgin Municipal Code 6 . 06 . 120(D) - sale of liquor to a person under the age of 21 years • Len Didier, owner and manager of Town Liquor, was present and stipulated to the fact that the aforementioned incident did occur.
