PRESIDENT’S REPORT:
Discussion and Recommendation regarding changes to Chapter 6 of the Village Code of Ordinances (Alcoholic Beverages)
President Nelson stated that she’d like to discuss changes to the liquor license portion of the ordinance as it relates to the requirement for applicants to have a local address and/or manager. She suggested changing the ordinance to allow for non-residents to hold a local liquor license. Attorney Lundgren stated that the key is to have a local responsible party available on short notice, if needed. He mentioned that some communities institute a radius limitation (i.e.: ten miles). Trustee Constant suggested leaving the ordinance as is and change it when it becomes a problem. He asked what happens if a local manager is listed and later quits. Lundgren stated that if, at any point the information on the application is no longer valid, then the license would be revocable. He further stated that the owner is responsible for reporting any changes in conditions. Chief Gettemy stated that all people listed on the license need to pass TIP training (Training for Intervention Procedures) and that the training requirement and proof of training be added to the application/ordinance.
