SUBMITTED BY: Maureen Pasqualucci Village Clerk VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 4 of 4 Page 5 of 9  IV.A Consider a Motion Granting a Temporary Amendment to Emmett's Licensed Premises in Conjunction with the Palatine Street Feast: A Food Truck Series on August 16, 2026 BACKGROUND: The Council approved a temporary liquor license for Tap House and Emmett's to sell alcohol at the August 16th Street Feast event. However, due to the licensing requirements for Emmett's as a Brew Pub without a distributor, a temporary amendment to their licensed premise is needed in order for Emmett's to serve their own beer at the event. 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. • Because Emmett's brews its own beer, they do not work with a distributor. • State Liquor Code would require a local amendment to temporarily allow the sale of beer at a location outside their existing licensed premise. 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 Emmett's Licensed Premises in Conjunction with the Palatine Street Feast: A Food Truck Series on August 16, 2026.

Illinois Avenue to 176 E. Illinois Avenue BACKGROUND: The American Ukrainian Youth Association of Palatine has held a Class C (Club) liquor license since 2008. The organization recently purchased the property located at 746 S. Vermont Street, which is adjacent to their current premises at 136 E. Illinois Avenue. They wish to extend the premises of their liquor license to the new building. The address for the new Youth Center space will be established as 176 E. Illinois Ave. KEY ISSUES: • Extend the American Ukrainian Youth Association's Class C liquor license to include 176 E. Illinois Ave. BUDGET IMPACT: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the extension. ACTION REQUIRED: Action is at the discretion of the Commission. ATTACHMENTS: None Page 9 of 9
