The event will be held from 12 PM to 9:30 PM and liquor will be served from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

This event is hosted by the Village, featuring food trucks and music. To keep the event simple, low cost, and reduce the need for volunteers, the Village did not plan to sell alcohol at the event. However, to support business engagement during downtown construction, the Village coordinated with local establishments to allow them to sell alcohol. These establishments will plan, staff, and retain the revenues from alcohol sales. Tap House Grill (as the sponsoring establishment), along with Emmett's, are requesting a temporary liquor license for the sale of beer and seltzers at the first Palatine Food Truck Event to be held on Sunday, August 16, 2026, from 11 AM to 7 PM in municipal parking lots D and E. KEY ISSUES: • The local establishments on the north side of the tracks (Tap House and Emmett's) are teaming up together to provide the alcoholic beverages during the event through their distributor. • The liquor establishments are utilizing Towne and County Distribution to provide beer and seltzers for the event. The establishment's current staff will work at the event. • Tap House Grill is sponsoring the application and providing the insurance. • There is no cost to the Village to facilitate the alcohol sales. The establishments will keep the revenues. • It is expected that the distributor will provide cups and wristbands, but in the case that does not happen, the Village is prepared to provide those materials. Palatine Bank and Trust is a sponsor and those costs could be offset with sponsorship. • All servers will be required to comply with the Police Department seminar in regard to identifications, and precautions are planned to prevent problems with underage patrons. • A diagram of the event layout is attached. • The Village has agreed to waive the $50 application fee. BUDGET IMPACT: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Page 9 of 37 Action is at the discretion of the Commission. ACTION REQUIRED: Action is at the discretion of the Commission. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Street Feast.

Bothwell Street BACKGROUND: Bombshell Bullies (Bully Breed Rescue) is partnering with Lamplighters Inn, 60 N. Bothwell, for the 'Pipes for Pits' event on Sunday, August 2, 2026. On this evening's Village Council agenda is a request for a waiver of the Village's sound amplification ordinance and a temporary closure of a portion of Bothwell Street to allow for this event. In conjunction with those requests, they have requested a temporary amendment to the licensed premises of Lamplighter Inn's existing liquor license on Sunday, August 2, 2026 (from 4 to 7 PM). KEY ISSUES: • The proposed event would be held from 4 to 7 PM on Sunday, August 2, 2026 on the east side of Lamplighter Inn (within Bothwell Street, between Wilson and Station Streets). The closure of Bothwell Street would occur from approximately 2:00 to 8:00 PM on Sunday, August 2. • The proposed event will include amplified sound from an acoustic music player and alcohol sales by Lamplighter Inn. • The Council has previously approved this event at Lamplighter Inn in 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 & 2021. BUDGET IMPACT: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Action is at the discretion of the Commission. ACTION REQUIRED: A motion to approve a temporary amendment to the licensed premises of Lamplighter Inn's existing Liquor License to allow for the 'Pipes for Pits' event on Sunday, August 2, 2026.

The Village Manager’s Office conducts a comprehensive review including a background check conducted by the Police Department. A listing of all current establishments requesting renewal of a Village of Palatine liquor license for the 2026/2027 year is attached as Exhibit A. KEY ISSUES: • All applications have been submitted and approved by the Police Department. • All owners and managers, with the exception of a few, have met the Palatine fingerprinting and Alcoholic Beverage Seller & Server (ABSS) permit requirements. Those establishments who still need to fulfill ABSS permit requirements are recommended to have their license renewal contingent upon Village Manager approval. BUDGET IMPACT: All applicants will be required to pay the annual liquor license fee associated with their classification(s). RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the application review and past year's operational history, the Village Manager recommends that the Liquor Commission approve the 2026/2027 licenses as attached. ACTION REQUIRED: Approval of the renewal of all licenses on Exhibit A and direct the Liquor Commission Chairman to execute said licenses. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Northwest Highway BACKGROUND: On this evening's Village Council agenda is a request for a Special Use Transfer for 365 W. Northwest Highway, known as Hot Pockets. The petitioner, Prabhas Mokkapat wishes to apply for a Class D (Restaurant) liquor license. The Village has an available class D license due to the 100% ownership change of this restaurant, previously owned by Munir Rafidia. The petitioner will be present to answer any questions from the Commission. The permitted hours for a class D liquor license are Sunday - Wednesday 6 AM to 1 AM and Thursday - Saturday 6 AM to 2 AM. KEY ISSUES: • A copy of the application is on file in the Village Manager's Office. • The petitioner will be present Monday evening to answer any questions of the Commission. BUDGET IMPACT: The annual fee for a class D liquor license is $4,180. RECOMMENDATION: Action is at the discretion of the Commission. ACTION REQUIRED: Action is at the discretion of the Commission. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Business Plan 2. Floor Plan 3. Hot Pockets Menu Page 22 of 37 BUSINESS PLAN: HOT POCKETS SPORTS BAR 1. Executive Summary Hot Pockets Sports Bar is a premier neighborhood establishment located in Palatine, IL. This business plan outlines a strategic optimization of our current operations, hours, and weekly programming to maximize existing assets. By adjusting our operating hours and introducing low-overhead, zero-cover-charge weekly entertainment, Hot Pockets will significantly boost revenue without requiring any structural changes, physical expansions, or capital-intensive renovations. 2. Company Description & Concept Hot Pockets Sports Bar combines sports viewing, recreational billiards, and a casual community gathering space. The venue operates within its fixed, approved structural footprint, offering a safe, vibrant, and welcoming atmosphere. • Target Market: Local working professionals, parents, pool players, and weekend sports enthusiasts. • Unique Value Proposition (UVP): Delivering high-value, community-focused entertainment nights with no cover charges, utilizing existing in-house assets to maximize guest value. 3. Operations & Updated Hours of Operation To better align with regional sports broadcasting schedules and weekend nightlife patterns, Hot Pockets operates under the following optimized weekly schedule: • Monday: 1:00 PM – 12:00 AM • Tuesday: 1:00 PM – 12:00 AM • Wednesday: 1:00 PM – 12:00 AM • Thursday: 1:00 PM – 12:00 AM • Friday: 11:00 AM – 2:00 AM • Saturday: 11:00 AM – 2:00 AM • Sunday: 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM 4. Weekly Entertainment & Programming Strategy To drive recurring foot traffic during both mid-week and weekend shifts, Hot Pockets introduces target programming that utilizes existing equipment and spaces. Page 23 of 37 Mid-Week: "Live Music Wednesdays" (7:00 PM – 10:00 PM) • The Concept: Designed specifically as a night for local parents and working professionals to enjoy live music that concludes early enough for a standard workweek schedule. • Format: Rotational billing of local solo performers up to four-member acoustic bands playing classic rock, country, and acoustic hits. • Community Music Night: Regular open-mic style iterations where house instruments are provided. Local community bands are encouraged to perform, competing for a chance to win a featured, paid slot on a future Live Music Wednesday. Weekends: "Weekend Pool Play" (Friday & Saturday Nights) • The Concept: Modeled after a local bowling alley’s "Cosmic Bowl" night, this programming elevates the weekend billiards experience into a high-energy lounge environment. • Format: Local DJs spin live music mixes to create an engaging, modern weekend vibe. This strategy drives late-night weekend traffic specifically around our existing pool tables, ensuring a safe, lively community environment. 5. Facility, Spatial, and Acoustic Compliance Hot Pockets Sports Bar guarantees zero structural changes and zero permanent alterations to the approved building layout. • Footprint & Capacity Preservation: The establishment features an 8ft x 8ft space in the southwest corner of the room, currently occupied by one 36" x 36" dining table. During live music or DJ hours, this single table is temporarily rolled over into another part of the room. It does not add to or reduce our total approved customer seating plan. • No Cover Charge Policy: To remove psychological barriers for casual diners, all entertainment events are 100% free of charge. • Acoustic Management: In accordance with neighborhood courtesy and local noise ordinances, no additional external amplification equipment is proposed. All live acts and DJs will integrate directly into the bar's current in-house sound system or utilize low-wattage, self-contained performance monitors. 6. Financial Strategy Page 24 of 37 Because there is no cover charge, the revenue model shifts entirely to high-margin food, and beverage. • Extended Dwell Time: By offering free entertainment, the average guest stay is projected to increase from 45 minutes to over 120 minutes. • Compounded Consumables Revenue: Longer dwell times directly accelerate food and beverage re-orders (e.g., secondary drink rounds and appetizer top-offs). • Low Overhead Expense: Because entertainment is executed within the existing physical footprint and sound infrastructure, event expenses are limited strictly to flat talent booking fees. These costs are easily offset by the projected 20-30% increase in food and beverage volume during event windows. Hot Pockets would like to bring it to your notice No changes have been made to the provisions approved under Village of Palatine Ordinance No. O-71-21 and Ordinance No. O-41-23, and all regulations contained therein remain fully approved and in effect.

Palatine Road BACKGROUND: On this evening's Village Council agenda is a Special Use Transfer for 40 W. Palatine Road, Siri Thai Inc. (dba Siri Thai II). In May 2026, Village staff was notified of the passing of Wanwipa Soramuk and the transfer of her 100% ownership shares to her children, Andrew and Andreana Lanpouthakoun, divided evenly. Per the Village Code, any ownership transfer over 50% requires a new license to be issued. This transfer of ownership will be provided to the Illinois State Liquor Control Commission to update their state liquor license. KEY ISSUES: • As the stock has changed over 50%, the old license is invalidated and, per the Village Code, a new application was required to be submitted to the Palatine Liquor Commission. • Documentation showing the transfer was submitted and is on file in the Village Manager’s Office. • A new application was submitted and is on file in the Village Manager’s Office. • There is no change in the operation of the restaurant.
