Committee Item Memo
Meeting Date: September 09, 2024
Staff Contact: Noah Rife, Management Analyst
Department: Village Manager's Office
Subject: Discussion of Creating a Class 7B Liquor License Classification
Background Information:
In July 2024, the legal team representing SSA Group reached out to inquire about the ability to
serve alcohol for off-site consumption. The event in particular that Brookfield Zoo Chicago
would want to serve alcohol for off-site consumption would be Wines in the Wild on November
9th, 2024. SSA Group holds two liquor licenses, Class 7 and Class 7A. Both liquor licenses
only allow for on-site consumption.
Currently, the only way off-site consumption of alcohol that is permitted is through either a
Class 3 or Class 6 liquor license. The annual fee for the Class 3 Liquor License is $2,000. The
annual fee of the Class 6 Liquor License is $1,000.
The Village of Riverside passed an ordinance on August 15, 2024, creating a special liquor
license allowing for SSA Group to serve alcohol for off-premises consumption. The Class B1
liquor license is supplemental to the Class B Liquor License, which is only held by SSA Group.
The cost of the Class B1 Liquor License is $450. This is approximately 4% of the total cost of
the Class B Liquor License which is $10,500.
Staff recommends charging $450 for the Class 7B liquor license to reflect the Village of
Riverside's fee.
Upon discussion with Village Attorney Adam Durkin, staff recommends creating an additional
liquor license. Class 7B would be a supplemental license for Brookfield Zoo and models the
Village of Riverside's Class B1 Liquor License to allow for off-site consumption and unifies the
liquor code for Brookfield Zoo Chicago across their campus.
Recommendation(s):
Staff recommends the Board of Trustees to approve of a new Class 7B liquor license.
