(Staff) Director Hobson talked about events around town that All Marine Retro Rentals do not currently have a liquor license for the reason is the license. It is the City Liquor licenses that will not cover special events that they would like to be part of. The overall goal would be to have the City Liquor License, they do not want to be a full bar but would like to allow tasting events, etc. The owners were also present at the meeting, speaking at the podium stated they would like to add some fun events stated by owners Dylan and Michelle. Alderman McClatchy asked for confirmation of several events, it was explained it could be such as the first Friday of the month, or any special events that The City of McHenry has run. /źƷǤ ƚŅ aĭIĻƓƩǤ /ƚǒƓĭźƌ aĻĻƷźƓŭ aźƓǒƷĻƭ Ў͵Ћ͵ЋЋ Prepackaged require which is what is currently sold is still the only alcohol that is allowed off- site. The time frame would be 4-7:30, which is not being altered. Alderman Strach had posed the question of how the liquor license could change the draw to the park. Alderman Devine would like to keep things the same as what they currently have. Also noted by Director Hobson that this would be something that would occur a few times a year and they would like to be included in events. Modifying the current licenses and adding an amendment could also be an idea, per Attorney McArdle. Would like to bring back to the council with exact dates. Most of the council was okay with a certain amount of dates a few times a year. B. Food trucks at Miller Point Park. (Parks and Recreation Director Hobson) Director Hobson had asked the question:Is this something that may not be well received by Director Hobson, Volvo Food Trucks looking for a new home, lunch, and dinner crowd? There is an organizer who gets the lineup set but he wanted to bring this to The Council to get their opinions. Alderman Santi would like the food trucks to not be on a Friday night so that residents can support brick and mortar, thinks there should be fees as well. Alderman McClatchey wanted to know how many trucks, no more than two per Director Hobson, but wanted to know what days would be in service. Alderman Harding wanted to know if there are different trucks, they would be rotated per Director Hobson. Alderman Strach thanked Director Hobson regarding their conversation, however, feels that brick and mortarmay have some issues with it and it may take away from it, what kind of clientele would we like to see, and is it harder to keep in control. He is on board with some of it but not every day. Alderman Devine could see a couple of nights a week, that way it will not affect the downtown restaurants, maybe a Saturday afternoon during the summer, etc. This discussion went on for some time including location ideas, dates, and times. Alderman Strach stated that he reached out to many locals as well in the Thursday Night Group to try to get local restaurants to do food trucks. Director Hobson appreciated the input and this could be brought to The Council for another meeting agenda item.
