PUBLIC HEARING
Open Public Hearing to Consider Suspension of Alcoholic Beverage License 2024-B223 and 2024-C224 for Failure to Complete Transfer Paperwork and Violation of Code V.C.M.C. 4-01-05(7) Regarding Failure to Submit Quarterly Responsible Beverage Server Training Roster.
Greg Burchill, with Tavern 94, shared their reasoning for not turning in the transfer paperwork for the B223 and C224 Alcoholic Beverage Licenses. He believes that the new owner, when the sale is final. Will go with the D Restaurant License so no transfer will be necessary. He intends to keep the B and C license to use for another possible reason.
Commissioner Magnuson and Attorney Martineck explained the limitations on the D License and explained the requirements on the B and C Licenses. Attorney Martineck clarified the 60-day limitations once the business is sold or the License comes back to the City.
Commissioner Magnuson moved to close the hearing, seconded by Commissioner Bishop. Motion passed unanimously.
Approve Suspension of Alcoholic Beverage License 2024-B223 and 2024-C224.
Attorney Martineck shared that the Server Training Report was turned in about 20 minutes prior to this meeting. This was due on 9/30/2024 but that point can be removed. That no sale of the establishment has happened makes the lack of transfer paperwork a moot point. The lack of Communication is the remaining issue. Martineck stated that any change to the License Application must be reported in 30 days to the City. No communication was made in the past 3 months until just prior to this meeting.
No action was taken by the Commission.
ADJOURN
Meeting was adjourned at 4:37PM.
