Pilipiszyn, Village Manager Andrianna Peterson, Assistant Village Manager DATE: January 22,20A7 RE ORDINANCE - CREATING AN ADDITIONAL CLASS G LIOUOR LICENSE _ PALMER VENTURES. INC.. 56 S. LA GRANGE ROAI) The Village recently received an application for a Class G liquor license from Palmer Ventures, Inc. a family restaurant, located at 56 S. La Grange Road. Ruth Palmer is the President, Steve Palmer the Vice President and Phil Palmer the Secretary, Treasurer. Palmer Place Restaurant has been operating in La Grange at this location for many years and currently holds a Class B Liquor License. They are seeking a Class G liquor license to facilitate the sale and service of alcohol for special events which they sponsor or are affiliated with, but are conducted off-premises. This license was applied for at the encouragement of Village staff because of the increased frequency of such events. A Class G liquor license authorizes the licensee to serve alcoholic beverages as part of a catering business which maintains a business facility within the Village and for which a business license has been issued. A "caterer" is any properly licensed individual who performs as a business, the service of providing food, or food and alcoholic beverages, to any location within or outside of the Village, and which is to be consumed on the premises within 36 hours of delivery. In the case of Palmer Place, the Class G license is incidental to their principal Class B liquor license. On Monday, December 11,2006, the Liquor Commission met to review the application submitted by Palmer Ventures, lnc. It was the recommendation of the Liquor Commission that an additional Class G liquor license be created conditioned upon Ruth Palmer's fingerprint clearance from the State. (A copy of the minutes from that meeting is attached for your reference.) Since the Liquor Commission meeting in December, Chief Holub advises that the background investigation, which includes results from the fingerprint check, did not produce any information which would preclude the issuance of a liquor license. Village staff has prepared the necessary ordinance which will facilitate the issuance of the liquor license. If the ordinance is approved, the Liquor Commissioner will issue a Class G liquor license to Palmer Ventures, lnc. We recommend that the ordinance be approved.
