Staff Present: Patrick Casey — Director, MBIS Department Anna Kate Bishop — Administrative Assistant Jay Terry — Director, Health & Human Services Brenda Herman, Admin. Asst., Health & Human Services Presiding Officer: Mayor Lorraine H. Morton — Liquor Commissioner Summary of Action: Mayor Morton called the meeting to order at 12:10 p.m. NEXT MEETING: " AGENDA • Consideration to amend the existing Evanston Code to permit the issuance of a Class U . liquor license to Three Crowns Park, Inc. doing business as Three Crowns located at 2323 McDaniel, Evanston, IL, 60201. The representatives present from Three Crowns Park were executive director Pamela Anderson and managers Linnea Nordin and Susan Morse. Three Crowns Park has been an Evanston establishment for many years, and the Mayor and the Liquor Commissioners are very familiar with their business. The corporation is large and therefore there is no need to meet with and/or fingerprint the owners. The managers present at the meeting will be responsible for handling all aspects of the liquor business. The license they're applying for applies only to senior living centers. The only other retirement home in Evanston with a liquor license is Presbyterian Homes. The managers don't anticipate problems with serving minors in their establishment, although all of them will go through BASSET training prior to the Council meetings. The Mayor questioned the applicants about why they will only be serving liquor until 7:30pm; Susan Morse explained that "The Pub" will only be open for snacks and drinks through these hours, six days a week. Mr. Casey reminded the commission that the license allows them to serve later if they desire to do so in the future. The Mayor cautioned the applicants about visitors and making sure that no minors, whether children or grandchildren of residents, be served liquor. The Mayor and the commission wished the applicants their best in their endeavors. The liquor commission approved a U license for Three Crowns Park upon completion of BASSET training. The meeting was adjourned at 11:40 a.m.
