15:50

Open guest days will probably happen periodically.

15:54

We haven't really set anything up for that as far as uh guest days are concerned, but we would probably try to do at least one once a quarter, and we would have a membership roster on site that will be those uh if the bartender has any questions.

16:15

All of our members have membership cards, okay?

Um if they wish to have their own catering, we will let them uh cater their own food in.

16:57

Uh there will be no alcohol brought into the facility.

17:03

And um, we will uh definitely uh there will always be a board member on site to take care of any issues that might pop up.

17:15

Also, um if we're using outside vendors for food catering, um we would um uh encourage the outside caterer to to have their own liquor license and provide that so that we're trying to uh separate ourselves from public to paternal organization, got it.

And this is 21 and over only and over only para 21 years or but uh no lo queero familiar he would like to have like a family okay there's so two problems on the application it states that this is a very important part of bar I'm on uh according with him and we discussed that he mentioned like a bar and I said in the bar it's only 21 21 only and uh we talk about that and he told me okay 21 only but according he was talking to people from the zoning and I said they can be a family too so he can have minors on the kind of like a fast food restaurant okay on the floor plan it shows a bar yeah yeah it is what I was told and it's what I explained him when I apply for the um for the zoning that is what they told us in this case initially was uh a bar okay so is there still a bar inside the restaurant is un for no is como barbar is un mostrador que es donde se marca la area del barque donde van a estar la bebida alcoholica but mostrador okay this is the it's like a bar area where all the alcohol beverage would be uh separation I in esa zona no but he don't have no separation directo a las mesas ya no va a ver si no no va a ver si I asking him because I haven't been in that place he says that that is gonna be just to have all the alcohol beverage but all the alcohol was served by waiters not gonna be nobody's gonna be seated and in that it's like uh counter um since I haven't seen it yet let him know when I do the inspection depending on what it looks like he may have to put in separation if he wants to have all ages.

27:39

Okay.

27:51

Okay.

27:52

And when we schedule the appointment I just need someone there that can translate.

27:58

Do you have a policy for checking IDs?

28:03

What's that?

28:04

What's it say?

28:18

Okay he's gonna check all the IDs and uh to make sure nobody serve alcohol to a minor are you clear on the transaction so it sounds like it's a diner like is it a uh just a normally what I have for my clients uh when they took the class I also have some kind of written document in Spanish and English for the employees the employees took the class and they put the date they took the class the name and the people signed the document that in case they commit a mistake it it will be um repercussions to the mistake or error they commit to just to make sure I understand clearly what he wants to do he wants to have a restaurant with small plates like appetizer type food and then but the focus is gonna be for people to come in and play games no no watch they're gonna have watch watch the the soccer games or any other games on on the screens okay kind of like a school bar but it's not gonna be and I mean the families can go and see them watch the what's the what's the capacity?

29:40

Yeah sixty people this is a very small place.

29:43

Okay and you understand you just have a beer and wine permit.

29:47

See in the solamente I said yeah he's gonna take the class because he hadn't took the class I have a class set up for the ninth and I as always I want to make sure they fully understand all the regulations in regards to alcohol beverage.

30:00

And I as always I want to make sure they fully understand all the regulations in regards to alcohol beverage.

30:07

Okay, and all alcohol has to be delivered to the table.

30:10

Yes.

30:11

So it's this one that he told me to lasteros.

30:36

But okay, or then he's telling me they according to the games during the uh World Cup, but it normally will be from three o'clock in the afternoon till midnight.

30:52

And maybe in the weekend a little bit later, but I ask him I said what how later because they need to tell me how much that the case there is.

31:08

It will be three o'clock.

31:11

I struggle with the idea of this as a family restaurant based off of the concept, the hours of any capacity.

31:21

Um as a 21 plus bar, I'm totally fine.

31:26

Like it makes sense, but as a family restaurant, it doesn't make sense to me.

31:41

Yeah, that's true.

31:42

That's true, but the application right now it's like it's a bar, right?

31:48

Yeah.

31:49

Yeah, so that's where the yeah.

31:52

Well, it it'll it'll come into play when I do the inspection.

31:57

Got it.

31:58

Okay.

31:58

So when I do the inspection, um it'll basically it'll be up to me to decide whether or not he can have the separation and it's gonna have to be bar 21 over on the case.

32:10

Okay, okay.

32:11

In that case, I mean we we can go definitely move forward, but I just wanted to voice my concerns about the family part based off the application and other elements.

32:21

But I will explain him also the curfew.

32:25

So when it comes to family, that minors cannot be after eleven o'clock at night in in that place.

32:44

Okay.

32:45

I I think the and correct me if I'm wrong, everybody, but I think our concern is that he's going to tell us he's opening a family restaurant, but in reality it's going to be a a bar.

33:07

But in la realidad basta manager un bar, no restaurant familiar.

33:13

Okay.

33:39

He says that his concept is uh to have the um whatever entertainment is on on on the TV or uh some special thing uh food which is uh what they call it tapas.

33:59

Yeah, we're clear we're clear on that part that it's gonna be we're clear on the fact that it's a tapest restaurant that you're gonna play sports.

34:07

I think where we're at now is I think we can move forward Officer Sunia is gonna do the inspection.

34:15

Yes, um, to determine whether or not he can have limited separation and then we'll just follow it through from there.

34:23

There was a bit of concern on my part about the family piece, but we don't have any issues until we have issues.

34:31

So I think that it sounds more like a sports bar.

34:34

Yeah, but with children.

34:37

Yeah, but with children, so yeah, I mean I'm fine to move forward and then we just sort out the other things that need to be sorted out as we move along with the inspection.

34:48

Yeah.

34:50

All right, with that I'll accept a motion.

34:52

Uh motion to approve.

34:54

Yeah.

48:55

Um the lease was was in Gangham Custom.

48:59

He owned both companies, so we just are going to allow his work under under their license.

49:05

Probably get at least the other than get the lease renegotiated with Simon.

49:10

Okay.

49:10

So nothing will change as far as the operation goes.

Um I think uh two.

50:18

Two.

50:19

Two?

50:19

Uh for you have one license and it has two violations, or you have multiple licenses.

50:24

Okay, what were the violations for?

50:26

Uh it's uh Po tax uh tax behind uh behind so we're on expired permit.

50:32

Oh what?

50:32

So we're on an expired permit.

50:34

Oh, expired permit?

50:35

Okay.

50:37

Both of the violations are for expired permit?

50:40

Yes.

50:40

Okay.

50:40

So how does that how do you make sure that doesn't happen again?

50:44

Um it's kind of an easy one.

50:49

Like your permit has dates, right?

50:51

And it ends on this date.

50:52

So how do you how do you make sure you know when your permit's going to expire?

50:56

Uh we will pay more attention and make sure focusing on the license, make sure they if they expire, we're not gonna serving that's that's all we can do.

51:08

Not a great answer, but I mean it's it's an answer.

51:11

So I I understand you correctly, he's gonna act as the landlord.

51:17

It'll be a sub-lease under he owns both Castle and Gangham Castleton LLC and Tsushiyama and the LLC are both his LLCs.

51:28

Okay.

51:29

They couldn't get the lease renegotiated with Simon.

Um Dennis Isava.

57:12

This is Mr.

57:13

Saul Ramirez.

57:14

And his daughter.

57:16

And uh this was an escrow uh license, and uh now the location has been uh found yeah, ready to work now.

57:24

So you've had this license for some time, put it in escrow, now you found a location?

57:29

Correct.

57:30

Okay.

57:30

How long have you had the license?

57:34

Uh-huh.

57:36

But yeah, we we got it by auction actually.

57:38

Oh you get it.

57:40

Went immediately into escrow until you found a location, so you haven't been open, you haven't used the permit.

57:47

Okay.

57:48

Is this your first alcoholic beverage license in the state of Indiana?

57:50

Nope.

57:50

No, how many do you have?

57:53

Four.

57:53

Four?

57:54

And uh how many violations do you have?

57:56

Uh maybe two or three in 24 years.

57:59

In 24 years?

58:00

Yeah, we've been in business since 97.

58:03

What were the violations for?

58:06

Uh the last one we had was one of the servers did serve alcohol to a minor.

58:11

Um it was actually uh person like uh from you come in and I appreciate that, but I'm not excised.

58:21

Um well, okay, so you've had that happen four times.

58:25

Is it right?

58:25

Is that what you're talking about?

58:26

No, no, no.

58:27

That's just the last violation.

58:28

Yeah, well, it only once.

58:30

When it came to selling to uh minors.

58:32

The other ones were uh if I recall correctly, is uh the expiration on the one of the servers expire on the permits.

58:43

Well, what are you doing differently?

58:45

So with the last uh violation that we had, obviously he had to pay for his fee, and then we had meetings with him.

58:52

He uh uh like we tell everybody once you uh renewed your license to sell, you have to take that class that comes with that.

59:02

And uh we requested him to take it again.

59:06

Uh otherwise uh we will get rid of them and thus the last warning he has no other choice but to do that.

59:14

Good.

59:15

And what is your role with the business?

59:18

Um his daughter and um one of the managers and with the new business, I'm gonna be co-owner on this business you'll be able to do.

59:27

Yeah, on the last one.

59:29

Okay.

59:29

Well, the application only has Mr.

59:34

Ramirez as an owner.

59:40

That is uh I mean for us what we know that it's Mr.

59:43

Ramirez, it is this isn't over there.

59:45

Two lists.

59:46

Unless there's something I mean, f officially that's what we have, at least that's something private.

59:50

But uh as far as we're concerned, Mr.

59:52

Ramirez is the the primary owner.

59:54

But she just testified that she's going to be an owner.

59:58

Uh uh I'm under I'm under oath.

1:00:00

Uh uh I'm on that oath.

1:00:02

So I I will testify for what I mean in the back.

1:00:05

Well, I'm sorry.

1:00:06

No, I'm only I'm only disappointing for what I know, what I know, or what I'm aware of, which is that uh Mr.

1:00:11

Ramirez is the primary uh ma'am, you're going to how what percentage of ownership are you gonna have in this business?

1:00:17

Well I'm I'm a help in, so I don't per se I don't invest in the business, I'm gonna help run it.

1:00:26

So mainly he's the owner, but I'll be running the business.

1:00:30

Does that make sense?

1:00:32

I mean, as a manager, you know, if he owns it, you're managing it, that's one thing, but you did just tell us you're gonna be the owner, um, one of the owners.

1:00:40

So then there's a paperwork aspect of that where you have to list yourself as one of the owners.

1:00:44

So it comes down to do you need to amend your application?

1:00:48

Are you going to be an owner?

1:00:58

No, no, no.

1:01:02

Okay, but I sound like you know she is my daughter, you know, as my daughter in the case.

1:01:12

So yeah, financially, I'm not the owner.

1:01:16

I describe myself as an owner because I'll be taking care of it, I guess, as a manager.

1:01:21

Uh I'll be there working and making sure that the business runs smoothly.

1:01:27

So I'll be they're taking care of it.

1:01:30

Well, he issue you a paycheck.

1:01:33

Yeah, as uh as a worker, as an employee.

1:01:36

Yeah.

1:01:37

Just like I've been getting paid up to now.

1:01:40

The idea is for me to be the owner because I'm gonna be there taking care of it.

1:01:46

He'll be making the main decisions, but I'm there to make sure that everything runs properly.

1:01:52

Okay, so you need to understand though when you say those words owner and manager for this board, they mean very specific things.

1:02:00

Um if you are truly a manager and an employee of your father, then for our purposes, you are not an owner.

1:02:10

Okay.

1:02:10

Um so you need to be very, very careful about identifying yourself as an owner, especially if someone from excise comes in.

1:02:17

Okay.

1:02:18

So if you're being if you're on the books, you're being paid as an employee.

1:02:25

That's one thing.

1:02:26

If you're financially invested in this business, then you've now have ownership and paperwork needs to be redone.

1:02:34

Okay, and no, I'm not.

1:02:36

Are there any plans to do that?

1:02:38

Maybe in the future.

1:02:40

He's trying to help me.

1:02:41

I went through a divorce, and so he's trying to help me, you know, like become better financially.

1:02:47

So I guess that's where all this started like.

1:02:50

So at some point, the plan is for you to actually own this business.

1:02:54

Yes.

1:02:55

Okay.

1:02:56

When that occurs, you will need to refile the paperwork.

1:03:00

Okay.

1:03:00

And do a transfer of ownership.

1:03:02

Okay.

1:03:03

You don't want a false ownership, that's a felony.

1:03:05

Okay.

1:03:08

You guys comfortable with that?

1:03:10

Yeah.

1:03:11

Um I'm comfortable with it as until like I said with the last one.

1:03:15

We don't have issues until we have issues.

1:03:18

Um, you will need the manager's questionnaire, right?

1:03:20

Your Korean, correct?

1:03:21

Yes, yes.

1:03:22

They have a manager.

1:03:23

1:18:12

So um eight's a big number.

1:18:14

Uh but over 20 years and almost 20 years and 10 locations.

1:18:18

Um it's she she does take it very seriously and addresses those violations when they occur.

1:18:24

What was the latest violation for?

1:18:26

I believe the latest violation was a manager questionnaire um issue back in 23.

There's not one in this application.

Okay.

1:20:30

So the locations will all be managed by ownership.

1:20:34

Yes.

1:20:36

So in that case they don't have to have a manager's questionnaire.

1:20:41

Not as long as they're listed on the application.

1:20:43

Okay, got it.

1:20:44

Just make sure the green light is on on that mic.

1:28:43

I had multiple violations.

1:28:45

I gotta see if I have this one.

1:28:48

Yeah, we didn't see.

1:28:49

It just has a remonstrator.

1:28:50

Oh, was everyone here at the beginning of the meeting in the corn end?

1:28:57

Yes, yes.

1:29:00

All right, so you have a remonstrator, so we'll give you a chance to explain to us what's what you're trying to do.

1:29:05

We'll hear from the remonstrator why they're here.

1:29:08

Honestly, we're not a hundred percent sure as to why the remonstrance was requested in the first time.

1:29:13

I'll stop here.

1:29:13

Since there's no violation to discuss first, we'll start with the remonstrance.

1:29:17

Oh, okay.

1:29:17

All right.

1:29:18

And this is a renewal without violation with the remonstrator.

1:29:22

So Chris.

1:29:24

Good morning.

1:29:24

Uh my name is Chris Staub.

1:29:26

I am the elected president of the near East Side Community Organization, which is an umbrella over 19 neighborhoods in the near east side of this city.

1:29:34

Uh on our February docket, we'd seen that uh this application was coming back up for a renewal after several violations from back in 2024.

1:29:46

Uh I know there were several instances of minor violations, but the one that stood out was uh the sales to a minor.

1:29:54

Uh the nearest side takes that very seriously.

1:30:00

Uh at the time of your February uh hearing uh I had asked for remonstrance uh so that I could bring this to the Grace Tuxedo neighborhood, which is the neighborhood most greatly affected.

1:30:10

Uh we had a conversation uh regarding this license and as it is considered a grocery store in the neighborhood.

1:30:20

Uh it's actually more of a convenience store, and we heard uh items from the neighbors of what they see and what they are aware of in the community uh around this, and the biggest problem seems to be loitering, and uh some of our neighbors do use your facility and have noticed that they don't get carded.

1:30:42

So that was one of the reasons why we wanted to have this conversation.

1:30:46

So we're not asking for their license to be uh vacated, we're just asking that they remain on a probationary one-year license uh due to the fact of the violations that they had from back in uh April of 2024.

1:31:05

But did we give you a one year?

1:31:07

Yeah, we you give it a I don't remember every case.

1:31:11

So you're currently under a one-year renewal?

1:31:13

Yes, yes.

1:31:14

And that's what you want to make sure stance, Pat.

1:31:16

Just one more year, yes, that's all we're asking.

1:31:18

But you're currently under one year.

1:31:20

Yeah, yeah.

1:31:21

So we're this would be the renewal following the their one year renewal.

1:31:27

There hasn't been a full year since we heard that.

1:31:32

Sure.

1:31:33

We heard them on September September 2nd.

1:31:40

So um so first of all, I'd like to thank Mr.

1:31:46

Staub for taking my phone call ahead of our meeting.

1:31:49

We had a productive conversation.

1:31:51

Uh happy to uh discuss the matter with him.

1:31:53

So I I knew you know what his request was coming in.

1:31:57

Um as far as the the violations go, there were two sets of violations that were issued a week apart um a couple years ago.

1:32:06

One was for a SAC violation, minor, you know, excise going in with a youth, and then if you remember there was the issue where the Mr.

1:32:16

Atool's father who was there at the time, he's older gentleman, doesn't speak English well, and there was a hindering violation related to that.

1:32:25

And so those are the two sets of violations that we got cleared up in late summer last year.

1:32:32

Um as far as um, you know, set I mean, so they they've had one issue, I mean that they've had one violation for sales minor.

1:32:43

Um Mr.

1:32:45

Staub also asked about you know, could we would we enter into talking about the loitering entering into a um trespass agreement with IMPD?

1:32:54

And talk to my client, they've actually done that as of 2023.

1:32:59

They've had a trespass agreement with IMPD, and I shared that with him.

1:33:03

Um so you know what's a trespass agreement.

1:33:06

So that is an agreement with the police where you're basically giving them um more authority to come onto your your premises and um enforce loitering and get people that you know are are loitering um out of there.

1:33:21

Yeah, now does that require the ownership to call IMPD and say, hey, we have people out here loitering?

1:33:28

Does that just give IMPD the ability to see it and address it?

1:33:34

Um I'm pretty sure it's both uh both of them.

1:33:37

If they see a person loitering there for too many times, or as they see a person there too many times, they're allowed to issue a trespass order to them.

1:33:44

But and they're also times where we have to call them as well.

1:33:48

Tiffany, yeah, based on my experience with it, it is up to like when they're patrolling like their discretion to add that to their patrols.

1:33:56

Yeah, but there's no because I've been in a community space before where we attempted the same thing, so that's where my ex uh experience comes from, but it was up to the officers, you know, jurisdiction whether or not they would come with your discretion, whether or not they would come by.

1:34:14

Um, so it's kind of up in the air.

1:34:17

Deputy Dumont.

1:34:18

Yeah, sure.

1:34:19

It's a good faith agreement uh with the police department that says we can act on behalf of the owner as an agent of the property.

1:34:25

So in both cases.

1:34:27

All right.

1:34:30

So you know, we got these violations a couple years ago.

1:34:35

We worked through them.

1:34:36

Um, we've I've engaged with Mr.

1:34:40

Stabb to actually see if we can connect our um my clients with the Grace Tuxedo neighborhood, um, and just make sure that there is good communication um between the sides, and just want to make sure that you know, I mean they they want to be good community partners.

1:35:00

Um respectfully asking for a a full renewal, um, but it's a respectful ask.

1:35:07

So do you oh I I just want to make sure we ever the board remembers correctly.

1:35:12

So we originally heard them March of last year.

1:35:16

We had the hindering and the sales to minor, but the hindering I think was more concerning for us, and we actually initially denied them and and then it was it it was remanded back to us and we heard it again in September.

1:35:33

So we did give them a one year in September, heard the violations, but it's only been not quite, it's not been a year yet.

1:35:42

Yeah, thank you for the refresher.

1:35:44

Um so with that being said, do you have documentation from your from the neighborhood group you represent about their their thoughts or their feelings like a letter or letter head or petition or anything like that?

1:35:59

I do not have anything for the neighborhood other than the conversation.

1:36:02

Okay.

1:36:03

Well, we are we don't plan to hear this again if I'm understanding correctly.

1:36:08

We don't plan to talk about their renewal until September.

1:36:12

No, we of this year.

1:36:13

We just talked about it.

1:36:15

We just talked about it in September.

1:36:16

Because of the origin they originally up for renewal last March.

1:36:21

But because of the denial, the process being remanded back, and then by the time we we heard it the second time and gave them a one-year renewal, it was in September.

1:36:30

Okay.

1:36:31

So their renewal would naturally come up when it's had we heard them in March and gave them a one year last March, we would hit the one year mark.

1:36:45

But it's it was in September, we gave them the one year.

1:36:48

So it's been a little over six months.

1:36:51

Got it.

1:36:51

So their one year is technically like runs out in September.

1:36:57

No, no.

1:36:58

It would run out, it's it it's it would run out with this renewal if we don't renew the one year.

1:37:03

If we don't give them another one year, if we give them a two-year today, they get a two-year renewal.

1:37:07

Got it.

1:37:08

It's just because the process took a while.

1:37:10

Oh, does that make sense?

1:37:13

That it makes sense now.

1:37:15

The expiration date stays the expiration date, even if we continue it and it gets delayed.

1:37:20

Got it.

1:37:20

Okay, it makes sense now.

1:37:23

One last thing I would just suggest is that if they were to get a violation between now and their automatic renewal year next year, they would be scheduled for the local board.

1:37:34

So it's really just skipping the local board schedule for the purpose of a remonstrance, not actually.

1:37:42

I mean, you would still be called before a local board for your renewal if you were.

1:37:45

Well, you're supposed to be.

1:37:47

It doesn't always get caught.

1:37:50

Ricardo's pretty good.

1:37:51

Uh I'd like to hear from the older.

1:37:55

Oh, sorry, what was that?

1:37:56

I'd like to hear from you.

1:37:58

Uh about what is we we have we've uh since our our renewal in September, uh, we haven't had a single violation.

1:38:06

We've kept to all the rules.

1:38:08

We we've had excise officers come on site as well to make sure everything's good.

1:38:12

We've allowed them into the back and everything, no hindering or anything like that.

1:38:16

We just want to work with the ATC and the card and everybody still.

1:38:20

Huh?

1:38:20

Or your card and the folks that need the card.

1:38:22

Anybody under the age of 40, yes.

1:38:30

Well, for me, we don't have any violations to review at this point.

1:38:38

And I do understand the conversations that you've had with people in your community um and appreciate you being here, but we don't have like an overwhelming voice coming from community um like as far as documentation is concerned.

1:38:53

So for me, I don't feel like the renewal should be denied.

1:39:00

I would agree with you if we had given them a one year in March.

1:39:05

Yeah, but because we did it in September that's true.

1:39:08

They haven't had that full probationary year.

1:39:12

Yeah.

1:39:13

Um, and with the hindering report, the fact that it was bad enough that we initially denied them.

1:39:22

Yeah.

1:39:22

I would prefer to do another one year just to keep a closer eye on them.

1:39:28

Yeah, yeah.

1:39:29

I feel comfortable with that.

1:39:30

And if you if you do nothing wrong, if you're making sure your employees check the IDs, if you're enforcing all the ownership policies that you've put in place, we won't have any problems.

1:39:39

I I feel uh in line with you.

1:39:41

And also with good faith, we would like to join uh Nesco the near he's a neighborhood uh association that he's that would be fantastic.

1:39:48

We'd be welcome.

1:39:50

And you know, to show that we want to be community partners with everybody.

1:39:53

We think that's a great idea as well.

1:39:55

All right.

1:39:55

Well, this took care of itself then.

1:39:57

Um thank you for the representation you give to these side.

1:40:00

Thank you for communicating professionally and meeting them in the middle.

1:40:03

Uh this sucker's taken care of.

1:40:05

So I'll make a motion for a one-year renewal.

1:40:08

Second.

1:40:08

Second.

1:40:08

All those in favor say aye.

1:40:10

1:40:10

It was around noon in April last year, I believe.

1:47:11

1:47:12

I mean, if you just tell the board a bit about the policy for checking IDs and then what happened to the the employee who served and training and so forth.

1:47:32

Um, so I can assure you that that employee is no longer with us.

1:47:35

Uh we do have a policy regarding responsible alcohol service that's in our handbook, and all employees uh over the last 10 months have signed off on that electronically twice since then.

Calling R R 493-4685, more cheers, LLC, doing business as teeny, address 717 Messages Avenue.

1:48:31

It's the patio.

1:48:33

Is that still for we've never heard that violation?

1:48:36

That has never come back up.

1:48:37

No, I can address it.

1:48:39

Go ahead.

1:48:40

Okay.

1:48:41

I didn't realize we were on the on the agenda for that.

1:48:45

So Alex Intermill attorney for more cheers, DBA teeny, Officer Sunier and I from the uh comments there.

1:48:52

There was an issue with um floor plan change or alleged floor plan change.

1:48:58

It goes it, they've got a an outdoor seating area that's kind of been a parking spot on Massav.

1:49:04

Uh it's been there for quite some time, but we could not find a signed approval of that floor plan.

1:49:14

We thought that we had it.

1:49:16

XIS didn't like what we had off in Prosecutor Wignall, issued the violation, stuck with it.

1:49:23

We paid it, and then since then the law has changed right to allow the patio as it exists.

1:49:31

So long story short, or I'm kind of rambling on here, the violation was paid, the floor plan was updated.

1:49:39

We were addressing the entrance to the patio before the law changed so that it would be compliant to allow patrons from inside to take a ver to be served outside, and then how does that that work?

1:49:54

But like I mentioned, the law has changed to simplify things, and so we're compliant, and I apologize.

1:50:00

And I apologize, I didn't realize that we hadn't heard that violation.

1:50:03

It was so long ago.

1:50:04

We had lots and lots of conversations over this patio, which is why I chuckled a little bit.

1:50:09

But um so prior to me taking over this position.

1:50:14

Um this patio had existed, they were under the assumption or they were under the assumption that it had been approved.

1:50:23

I couldn't find any documents anywhere that it had been approved.

1:50:26

When at the time when I came out to inspect it, it did not qualify, which is was my suspect.

1:50:33

I suspect that's why it had never been approved.

1:50:36

Um they may have had somebody out there that said you're gonna have to change it, whatever the issue was, it had never been approved and added to their floor plan.

1:50:44

Um as Alex said, since then the law has changed, so and a patio doesn't have to connect directly to the premise anymore.

1:50:54

It can have a distance of a hundred feet.

1:50:59

Yeah, yeah.

1:51:00

Um so as it sits now, it would be approved.

1:51:05

Okay.

1:51:06

It's almost like grandfather day.

1:51:08

Yeah.

1:51:08

All right.

1:51:13

I'll make a motion to approve.

I'm so sorry, I don't know the exact date.

1:52:11

Okay.

1:52:12

I can tell you the date.

1:52:14

You know what the violation was?

1:52:16

Trying to pull it up.

1:52:17

Yes.

1:52:17

Um, so we actually only have four people that are allowed to serve her, myself, and two of our waitresses.

1:52:25

We actually closed that day, so both of us left.

1:52:29

Waitresses were not there, they weren't working.

1:52:31

Her boyfriend stayed, um, they were doing maintenance, they were painting outside and inside.

1:52:36

He was whose boyfriend?

1:52:37

Her boyfriend.

1:52:38

Okay.

1:52:39

He did not have an employee license, so he was not allowed to serve.

1:52:43

And he did serve one of his friends came in and he served the friend.

1:52:47

Um so he like rang up the transaction and everything.

1:52:50

And he was not supposed to.

1:52:52

He does have um an employee license now.

1:52:55

He's still not supposed to serve, but he he does have the license now.

1:52:58

Okay.

1:52:59

This okay, this was this happened during Ascent detail where it's it's one of those details with exercise IMPD, fire marshal's office, health department, um, they go out together as basically like a task force.

1:53:15

Um, and that's why they were there that evening at midnight, quarter after 12.

1:53:22

At the time we also were renting um the kitchen, so we had a separate kitchen staff that was not ours.

1:53:29

Um, they were also there preparing for I think they had an event the next day.

1:53:34

They are no longer renting, they're no longer with us.

1:53:40

What about the smoking ban signs?

1:53:42

Have you guys put up the smoking ban signs and stuff?

1:53:45

Okay.

1:53:46

Everything, everything was taken care of.

1:53:48

Oh, there's an issue with the kitchen not being open.

1:53:54

The kitchen, I mean, the the place, the whole thing was was closed.

1:53:58

They were there preparing food for their event the next day.

1:54:01

I believe they had some issues with that as well.

1:54:03

The food was thrown away.

1:54:05

Um bar was not open, the kitchen was not open.

1:54:09

So the the but the door must have been on locked.

1:54:13

Yes, because one of his friends walked in, so yeah, the door was unlocked.

1:54:18

There were two patrons sitting at the bar, a couple, I believe.

1:54:23

Those are the friend or those different people.

1:54:25

No, the friend.

1:54:28

I don't know.

1:54:29

I can't remember if we eventually we drove back.

1:54:33

So I remember us walking in.

1:54:35

I don't know if there was anyone else um from like the kitchen staff that was there.

1:54:40

But I do remember because I know these people, I do remember the the couple that was at the bar.

1:54:44

What time do you close on Saturdays?

1:54:46

Uh we only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

1:54:49

We open at six, close at three.

1:54:51

Um I don't remember what day that it was a Saturday.

1:55:00

But it was during I don't know if I'm sure you guys are aware, there has been um some political climate that thanks to that.

1:55:05

A lot of people aren't really going out.

1:55:07

Um Saturdays for us, usually we have sixty to a hundred people.

1:55:10

That day there was no one, that's why we closed um for a Saturday.

1:55:15

It was very, very slow, it wasn't worth it for us to stay open and pay our employees.

1:55:20

Um that's we're starting to get better now, but at the time that's that's the reason we close.

1:55:26

Got it.

1:55:27

So this is their boyfriend.

1:55:29

Is he still employed with the business or is he still involved with the business?

1:55:34

He's involved, um not employed, not employed, but he's involved, he helps us with like maintenance when things need to be done.

1:55:42

Not employed though.

1:55:44

So what is the fix for because it sounds like he stepped out of line, the business was close, and he you know, judging from what's written here in the report and what you're sharing.

1:55:56

So what is the fix to make sure that this doesn't happen again if y'all have another slow day, he's not just doing his own thing.

1:56:05

So he did get his employee liquor license.

1:56:07

Um but we don't he doesn't stay.

1:56:10

We haven't closed um again, and he doesn't stay by himself.

1:56:13

He's he knows he shouldn't he shouldn't be serving.

1:56:17

We don't like I said, we don't really have it's only her and I at the bar, and then we have waitresses.

1:56:22

So everyone has their liquor license.

1:56:25

Everyone's trained.

1:56:26

He at the time was not trained, so there was no there was no reason for him to have served anyone, even if it's his friend.

1:56:33

Okay.

1:56:35

You understand that you have to keep records of the employee permits.

1:56:39

That was another issue.

1:56:40

Yes, and she she has copies.

1:56:42

Okay, and copies of the training certificates, all of that is on file in the office or somewhere where it can be reached when asked for.

1:56:50

All of your signs smoking signs have been posted.

1:56:52

Yes.

1:56:53

You understand that anytime you're open serving alcohol, your kitchen has to be open.

1:56:57

You have to look at food.

1:56:59

We've been in contact with the whole department as well.

1:57:03

Okay.

1:57:04

With that in your issue, I'm sorry.

1:57:06

And your issues with the health department are all correct.

1:57:08

Yes.

1:57:11

With that, I'll accept a motion.

1:58:09

Um you'd like to kind of talk about what the violation was and and what you guys have done since.

1:58:17

Sure.

1:58:18

Um, so this happened in October of 2024.

1:58:22

We just hired this um employee, and he was like a week only uh to be hired, and our manager stepped out of the court of the counter.

1:58:32

So he came the employee came and served um a minor.

1:58:37

And this employee hasn't had didn't have any license yet because he was hired a week before.

1:58:43

So after that we decide to um train every retrain again all of our employees just to make sure that nobody does the same thing anymore.

1:58:53

Yeah.

1:58:54

What about the policy around having your permit?

1:58:58

Do you have a new requirement for how that happens?

1:59:01

Correct, correct.

1:59:02

So we are making sure that no one that doesn't have a license stayed in the I mean that everybody has to have a license that they stay in the in the store.

1:59:12

If we hire someone that is new, they cannot be in front of the store.

1:59:17

1:59:34

Um at 10 Cuts Brazilian State High House.

1:59:37

Any violations on those?

1:59:39

Yes, we had a violation on uh the one on 82nd Street.

1:59:44

And that was because it was served they serve a minor.

1:59:48

The same thing.

1:59:48

Was it a compliance check as well?

1:59:50

Yes.

1:59:51

And that one it they are planning to close that location, but that would be up for renewal um uh this coming year.

1:59:57

So that one has not been addressed by the board.

2:00:00

So you have multiple license, but you have a uh right now you're in a bit of a routine where you're getting hit with uh serving a minor.

2:00:07

So you've talked about retraining.

2:00:10

Is there anything else you could be doing?

2:00:12

They they have to take the class.

2:00:14

Now we had actually asking them to take the class on on the computer so they know what they have to do.

2:00:20

And um, yeah, you you're right.

2:00:22

It happens there, but that is not the same.

2:00:26

The same location exactly.

2:00:28

It is the same owner.

2:00:29

Okay, you're right.

2:00:30

Um do you do any secret shoppers where you send someone in?

2:00:34

We are gonna start doing that actually, especially on the south side in Greenwood.

2:00:38

We're gonna start doing that because it's a uh steakhouse, so we need to make sure that okay.

2:00:44

2:02:43

Good morning.

2:02:44

Um members of the board, Mark Webb.

2:02:46

Uh, on behalf of Saraga North LLC.

2:02:50

This is the um uh big grocery store that's located on uh uh east 86th Street.

2:02:57

It's kind of just south from Costco.

2:03:00

Um wonderful international grocery store.

2:03:02

This license used to be at their big store on 38th.

2:03:11

Um so I have with me um Jun Sung, who is the son of the owner and who is working and we're transitioning him into taking over management of that store.

2:03:25

And I also have with me Brad Nam, who uh oversees both of the Saraga stores, and we're trying to get him a little help here.

2:03:33

Okay.

2:03:34

So what happened in March of last year?

2:03:37

We had a SAC violation.

2:03:40

Umfortunately, the woman involved did not card.

2:03:47

So what they did was they immediately took all their cashiers and sent them back through retraining.

2:03:54

Um problem was this one woman, Isabella, um, was having a hard time getting it.

2:04:04

And so they had to make a decision and let her go.

2:04:08

They have always had um interview policies in terms of what they do and what the rules are.

2:04:16

Those now since then have been reduced to writing.

2:04:20

So we have specific policies.

2:04:23

Um the goal obviously is that all we ever do is have our name read off in good behavior every two years.

2:04:32

Um this is a regrettable incident.

2:04:36

Um I've sat here a while and I don't remember any other violations.

2:04:41

No, they they they've been real, they run a really tight ship.

2:04:45

This one, and again the this this cashier, you know, maybe this just wasn't a job for her.

2:04:54

And she doesn't have it anymore.

2:04:56

We don't have her, we don't have to have let her had to let her go.

2:05:00

Didn't want to, it's hard to get people to work, but you know gotta follow the rules too.

2:05:04

Yeah, you do so um that's kind of where that's where things are.

2:05:09

We'd be happy to answer any questions from the board.

2:05:12

I'm interested.

2:05:13

Uh, what percentage of your sales is alcohol?

2:05:17

Um, honestly, it's very little.

2:05:19

I would say it's it's around five percent less than that.

2:05:22

Yeah, I would bet.

2:05:24

Um well, you've got a big opportunity.

2:05:27

You're gonna take over this business and run it for however long, but uh you need to understand that you know you have a responsibility to make sure your employees follow these laws and these policies, and if so, you can keep that license and continue on a great tradition.

2:05:41

You clear on the rules and responsibilities that come with having that license?

2:05:44

Absolutely, any further questions from the board?

2:05:49

I'll accept the motion, motion to approve.

2:05:51

Motion to approve, all second, all those in favor say aye.

Why are you here?

2:06:56

What was a violation?

2:06:58

What's that?

2:06:58

What was the violation?

2:07:00

Uh I think there were a couple of things on there.

2:07:04

Um there was a not having copies of the permits in my office.

2:07:11

Uh there was not having the rules on the pool tab machines.

2:07:18

I don't have all of the I didn't study up for this, I'm sorry.

2:07:23

Well, that'd be a lot to remember.

2:07:25

Uh, I no, I mean I took them all, I obviously took them all seriously.

2:07:29

I think the the main one was though um I I misinterpreted the the rule change or the law change with regards to uh alcohol leaving the building.

2:07:43

Um we were putting caps on the uh on on if people had a drink and and then they were leaving, we would allow them to put a gap on it and go.

2:07:56

I I didn't understand that that was only if we had a carry-out license.

2:08:01

So long have you been doing that?

2:08:06

I'm sorry.

2:08:07

How how long have you been allowing people to leave with drinks to have a cap on them?

2:08:13

Well, it was from I I I I think officially from when the law changed.

2:08:18

I wanted when was that Jan January of July of 24?

2:08:24

Maybe 25.

2:08:28

January of 25 until we were cited for it and we stopped immediately.

2:08:36

So this is my call again.

2:08:39

We've already heard the first violation, it's just the second one.

2:08:41

The one with the opening.

2:08:43

Okay, okay.

2:08:44

Oh, okay.

2:08:46

We weren't allowing people to come in and take stuff out.

2:08:48

It was only if they had already ordered a drink and they were trying to leave, we would allow them take it with if they put a cap if it was capped, and then you had some signs missing.

2:09:07

But gaming signs were were down missing.

2:09:10

Yes.

2:09:10

We were cited for that, but uh there was a sign on one of the machines.

2:09:16

Uh with the rules.

2:09:18

Looks like it was a warning.

2:09:20

Huh?

2:09:21

You were issued a warning for that?

2:09:23

Warning.

2:09:24

Warning, yes, yeah.

2:09:30

I don't know.

2:09:30

Ray has since he's sold the establishment as transfer on file, which maybe heard next month.

2:09:37

Oh god.

2:09:38

I think he's kind of realized there's a lot more to this is a lot of work.

2:09:42

Uh huh.

2:09:44

Well, and if it's not done, it becomes dangerous for the neighbors.

2:09:47

It's a lot of work, and in three years I hadn't been able to really find a bar manager that uh, you know, uh that that was reliable enough to be able to trust so it dedicated a lot of time, and I it was too much for me.

2:10:08

All right, so here's solved you've solved.

2:10:12

Yes, yeah.

2:10:13

Transfer's on file, and keys are on file.

2:10:16

That helps a bunch.

2:10:17

Yeah.

2:10:18

All right.

2:10:19

Well, with that information, do we have a motion?

2:10:22

Motion to approve motion to approve all second.

2:10:24

All those in favor say aye.

2:10:25

Aye.

2:10:26

Doing business State Street Pub address 243 North State Avenue.

2:10:52

Hello.

2:10:55

Were you were you sworn in at the beginning of the meeting?

2:10:57

I was, yeah.

2:10:59

And who are you, sir?

2:11:00

Uh, my name's Mark Tester.

2:11:01

I'm the owner of State Street Club.

2:11:03

Do you know why you're here, Mark?

2:11:05

Um assuming because of a violation I got last year.

2:11:08

Do you know what the violation was for?

2:11:10

I do.

2:11:10

What?

2:11:11

Um I had an employee who I mean, how in depth do I have to get?

2:11:16

Just tell me what happened.

2:11:18

Basically, we got like um violation because I had an employee who uh was working door and sold a controlled substance to an excise officer.

2:11:29

Okay.

2:11:30

Well, yes.

2:11:34

I was as I was very surprised.

2:11:37

So my first thought is you know, that's not the first time, right?

2:11:40

The very first time they've tried to sell, they get hit with an excise officer.

2:11:44

I'm gonna guess this has been going on for a while.

2:11:46

I can't confidently answer that.

2:11:49

I really don't know.

2:11:50

I was totally unaware of the situation.

2:11:53

They were there on a complaint.

2:11:55

It was they were doing the investigation because of a complaint.

2:12:00

And I know when you were here for your last violation, um, that report says that they initially were in there for the for the complaint for the sales of drug sales.

2:12:13

I was not aware of that, never heard that.

2:12:16

Um my last violation was as far as I was under the impression of and what I was charged for was because we had a patio door that we normally had open.

2:12:27

So basically, like right by our front door, there's a patio uh door to our patio, which for like the preceding eight years had always just been open.

2:12:37

Um, and then what we got a violation for was the excis came through and basically was like you can't have this door open because if people go out the front, uh they could just like leave instead of going into the patio, which would be like the you know, why we had it open, and then they basically were like you have to keep this shut and then route people through the bar, um which we then did.

2:13:01

But um, as far as why they were there initially, that was never brought up.

2:13:06

Um, and I was there.

2:13:07

Well, they wouldn't have brought it up that day because it was still an ongoing investigation.

2:13:12

Okay.

2:13:12

Um how long did this employee work for you?

2:13:16

Um about a year.

2:13:27

What happened when you had the conversation with the officers when they took when they issued the violation?

2:13:32

How did that conversation?

2:13:34

The most recent violation.

2:13:35

Yeah.

2:13:36

Um the officers came in with the detective.

2:13:40

Um they asked if the employee was there.

2:13:43

Uh I said no.

2:13:45

They took me outside uh into our back patio where we talked to them.

2:13:49

Um they didn't give me any details about what was going on.

2:13:53

Um I asked what was going on, and the detective basically told me you can fire this employee, or you can keep them on and you'll be considered complicit.

2:14:05

But they didn't give me any other information other than that.

2:14:08

Um I spoke with the employee the next morning, he told me what I did, and I fired him on the spot.

2:14:14

Um did you call the officers a liar when they first told you?

2:14:21

No.

2:14:22

You didn't?

2:14:22

No.

2:14:23

I what would I have called them a liar for it?

2:14:25

They didn't tell me what they didn't tell you that you're getting a violation for an employee selling drugs inside your bar.

2:14:31

No, they didn't tell me why I got the violation or why I was getting the violation.

2:14:36

I asked multiple times what it was about.

2:14:39

So they they called you, just helped me walk me through it.

2:14:42

They called you.

2:14:42

You answer your phone, it's a number you don't know.

2:14:44

They didn't call me.

2:14:45

Oh they just showed up.

2:14:46

Oh, they showed up.

2:14:47

Yeah, they showed up while I was working.

2:14:49

I was DJing at the time.

2:14:50

I wasn't working that night, I was there DJing, so I was in the sound booth.

2:14:54

Door guy came up, told me XIS was there.

2:14:56

I walked up and was kind of like we had people in the bar, so I was like, hey, can we have this conversation out of the back patio?

2:15:02

They took me out to the back patio and basically like stood in front of the back door while they told me all this stuff was going on, and I was like, I don't I don't know what's going on, what's he in trouble for?

2:15:14

They didn't tell me anything.

2:15:15

They refused to give me any details.

2:15:18

Um they then asked me when he was working next and what his phone number was.

2:15:22

I was like, I believe he's working this weekend.

2:15:25

I was like, I don't know his number off the top of my head, my phone's in the bar, and then they basically reprimanded me for not knowing my employee's phone number by honor.

2:15:34

Um so I mean I was cooperative.

2:15:36

I told him when I believed he was working next, but I would need to check the schedule.

2:15:42

Um, but throughout that entire conversation, no one ever told me what he was being accused of or anything.

2:15:47

The only thing was that they said it was something serious, and that if I didn't fire him, that I would be considered complicit.

2:15:53

So that was at the that was the day they came and talked to you at the bar.

2:15:58

Then several days later, or at some period later, they one of the officers called the bar and spoke or went to the bar, you were not there, an employee, they asked an employee to contact you.

2:16:14

Yes, I was contacted and spoke on the phone with an officer.

2:16:18

Yes, that was the day that they came in and tried to arrest a person who was not the person they were trying to arrest, which I also have on video.

2:16:25

And that and during that conversation, were you told what the violation was for?

2:16:31

Um I don't recall exactly.

2:16:33

I was on the phone, and this would have happened at like one in the morning.

2:16:35

I had just played a show in Iowa on the touring musician as well.

2:16:40

Um so I don't remember the exact details of that.

2:16:43

I did tell them that I had fired the employee um the day after that they came the first time and told me that he was in trouble and basically told me like if you fire him, you're good.

2:16:53

Um if you don't fire him, then we're gonna assume that you knew what was going on.

2:16:57

And I was literally like, what's going on?

2:16:59

Like, I was like, what am I being accused of?

2:17:01

Am I being accused of anything?

2:17:03

And they said no.

2:17:04

So and then the next time I talked to them on the phone, they were basically like, I don't understand how you couldn't know about this, which is pretty speculative.

2:17:14

So that this phone conversation happened at 7 30 in the evening, not late at night.

2:17:20

Uh 7 30 in the evening.

2:17:22

April 25th, 2025 at 7 30 p.m.

2:17:28

April 25th.

2:17:31

I don't recall that phone conversation.

2:17:33

I did get called on April 25th.

2:17:40

I don't know about that.

2:17:42

The only time I really remember talking to them on the phone when I wasn't there would have been a Friday night because it was one of our club nights.

2:17:51

Um I'm reading I'm just reading the report.

2:17:54

Yeah, totally.

2:17:55

The officer says I explained to the owner tester that the business was receiving a violation.

2:18:00

I explained to Tester what the violation was for, and the owner tester immediately called me a liar.

2:18:04

That's I explained to Tester that I would not be arguing with him about it over the phone and that the violation would be left at the premise.

2:18:11

Yeah, I that didn't happen.

2:18:14

I mean, I don't know what I would have called him a liar for.

2:18:17

I mean, is there any context to that?

2:18:19

Like if he's explaining the violation to you, he's explaining what the charges were, which would have been public.

2:18:24

Well, I wouldn't have sentenced for drugs.

2:18:26

Yeah, and I the employee told me what he did the next day, and I fired him for it.

2:18:29

So why would I be calling an officer a liar after I think why I'm asking you?

2:18:33

I don't have the answer for that because I don't recall doing that, and I don't feel like I would jeopardize myself in that way.

2:18:39

The only phone call I got from them, like I said, that I recall was while I was in Iowa.

2:18:44

I got a phone call from them.

2:18:46

They showed up to try to arrest this former employee.

2:18:49

They went in there and tried to cuff a customer of mine.

2:18:53

People were all around them, being like, This is not the guy.

2:18:56

They kind of like scrambled, panicked, and tried to leave.

2:19:00

My sound guy called me, put them on the phone with them.

2:19:03

That's the only phone call where I wasn't there that I remember having with them.

2:19:07

Outside of that, I believe I was there the other times that they showed up.

2:19:12

How were you made aware of the violation?

2:19:15

I was made aware of the violation because they showed up in person, right?

2:19:19

Like what I explained before when they came and said that my employee was like in a lot of trouble.

2:19:26

Um, they needed his contact information.

2:19:28

We went outside to talk.

2:19:30

I asked multiple times what he was in trouble for.

2:19:33

Um that day, they didn't tell me anything, but the next the next day I talked to my employee and was like, what's going on?

2:19:43

Met up.

2:19:43

He confessed to me what happened and what he's in trouble for.

2:19:46

I fired him on the spot.

2:19:48

How often are you in the bar?

2:19:50

Um, I'm in the bar almost every time we're open, either bartending or running sound.

2:20:00

Um according and according to this report, the the office the undercover officer said that this drug transaction happened at the bar on the bar top out in the open.

2:20:09

I don't know anything about that.

2:20:10

But you're there every day.

2:20:12

I'm not there every day.

2:20:13

I mean, I've been running this bar since like 2018.

2:20:18

But you just said you were there whenever it's open.

2:20:20

I said I'm there almost every time it's open.

2:20:23

I'm either bartending or running sound.

2:20:25

If I'm running sound, I'm like, I could be anywhere in the bar.

2:20:29

But I absolutely did not know that this was going on.

2:20:32

And I don't know anything about this happening on the bar or what.

2:20:35

Like But that maybe is part of the challenge I have.

2:20:39

You know, doorman with code to line up drugs for patrons.

2:20:46

If your point is I didn't know, well, there's a part of that, it makes sense, but um these are your employees, man.

2:20:54

They're not they're not worried about you.

2:20:55

I know that.

2:20:56

I fired him the next day.

2:20:57

I paid the fine on his behalf.

2:20:59

As far as I'm concerned, that dude owes me a thousand dollars.

2:21:02

And you and him.

2:21:03

Well, exactly.

2:21:04

But I'm saying, like, I didn't fire any of this.

2:21:07

Like, I asked for questions, I asked for information when they first showed up.

2:21:10

They gave me none.

2:21:11

So I had no idea what was going on.

2:21:13

I had to talk to that employee myself, and I did exactly what they told me that I would have to do.

2:21:19

So from there, like here's my problem with your version of the of what happened.

2:21:26

I have a couple issues with it.

2:21:28

I understand why when they first went in there looking for this employee, they didn't tell you exactly what was going on because they were looking for someone that was getting ready to be arrested for felony drug sales.

2:21:39

Yeah, I understand that.

2:21:40

The problem I have is when the report says they called and spoke to you on the phone and explained exactly what you were being charged with.

2:21:52

Like I we we've been doing this 20 years.

2:21:55

We all explained violations almost exactly the same way.

2:21:59

You would not have been issued a violation without being told what it was for.

2:22:03

Right.

2:22:03

I'm saying when if they would have talked to me on the phone, if I would have been like so, basically, conversations I had with them, there was a few conversations where they basically implied that I knew about this.

2:22:13

So I could only imagine that the only reason I would have been like, you're lying, is if they went hard on that.

2:22:19

Because there's just no way.

2:22:20

I care so much about this place.

2:22:22

I spent all my time over the pandemic keeping this bar open, giving grants what was under other ownership.

2:22:29

I mean, we provide like a community space for all kinds of different people, different subcultures.

2:22:34

Like I would never jeopardize that.

2:22:36

This place is like my livelihood.

2:22:38

How many other violations do you have?

2:22:40

Um, I believe just the one that I got uh before this, where it was for the uh the doorway uh to the patio not being.

2:22:47

How long have you had the license?

2:22:49

Uh I took over ownership two and a half years ago, so I guess it would be like two November ago.

2:22:56

So two years, two violations.

2:22:58

One of them with narconics involved.

2:23:03

I and I I gotta be honest to you, I have a hard time.

2:23:06

If you're if you're there as often as you say you are and you're as involved as of as much as you say you are, I have a hard time believing that you didn't know that this was going on.

2:23:15

If when it's done open openly on I'm not there every single time that we're open.

2:23:22

I mean, like, I don't there's no way, like well, even if let's say this, your your employees don't respect you enough to even worry about it.

2:23:29

That's why you got fired.

2:23:30

I had no idea this was happening.

2:23:32

This is like all speculative.

2:23:33

We're not gonna I mean I'm not gonna say that you did.

2:23:36

Uh you say you don't, and I can't prove that you did or don't.

2:23:39

Um we've got a report in front of us.

2:23:40

Those are the facts.

2:23:42

You've had your license for two years.

2:23:43

We have two violations, and one of them is pretty significant.

2:23:46

So for the board and uh sake of time, I'd say uh the furthest I could go on a limb is a one-year renewal.

2:23:56

I'm aligned with the one-year renewal.

2:23:59

I think that there does need to be some internal work done to tighten up procedures, hiring, all of that, so that we don't have to do this anymore.

2:24:10

Um drug use is a rampant issue in our community.

2:24:13

Um yeah, I just think that more due diligence from you as an owner needs to happen to ensure that this doesn't take place.

2:24:25

Um, and whatever you need to do to build a better relationship with law enforcement, um, so that there's not this contentiousness if you while we're having discussions about things that are going on, your employees, whatever else.

2:24:42

Um, but I feel aligned with uh you Tyler is like the furthest would be a one year.

2:24:50

I don't doubt that you love the place.

2:24:52

Um have questions whether you can manage it or not.

2:24:54

Does that make sense?

2:24:56

Uh yeah, I mean I understand what you're saying.

2:25:00

It's one thing to love something and have a passion for it, but it's another to have the ability to actually manage it and run it.

2:25:03

No totally and I understand that perspective.

2:25:05

I mean I don't hear full accountability so if somebody said they wanted to deny you I'd probably vote that way.

2:25:11

Yeah.

2:25:11

I did I did fire the employee and pay the fine.

2:25:14

Yeah but you also say what you didn't know.

2:25:16

I mean as the as the owner and you're also saying you're always there.

2:25:19

So I mean what I didn't say I'm always there.

2:25:21

I said I'm there most nice.

2:25:22

Yeah you make it seem like you're there and you you you uh you sh you're there enough where you should know what's going on.

2:25:28

And you look at your attitude now it just stinks.

2:25:31

I don't I will I if I could deny you by myself I would and this yeah and I remember this attitude from the last time we had you here for the other violation and there wasn't a whole lot of accountability taken then either.

2:25:44

Um and that was a floor plan issue so um I know exactly what was said when we did when I did the inspection and what you were told about the patio because I was there and I said it.

2:25:55

Um so I I'm I'm more aligned with Peter.

2:26:07

Somebody needs to make a motion I'll make a motion.

2:26:10

I'll make a motion for a one year renewal.

2:26:12

Thank you.

2:26:13

Is there a second?

2:26:14

Second now there's this motion and a second all those in favor say aye.

2:26:19

Aye.

2:26:20

So we're split those opposed all those opposed aye aye so we're split two to two here.

2:26:26

Rare.

2:26:27

I mean the board usually can put you know this is a unique case and you're not doing yourself any favors I'll give you that.

2:26:33

So what this means with a split vote is that it'll go to the commission.

2:26:37

The commission will review the testimony from today um they'll look at the exise reports as well and they will make a decision um they could do one of three things they could well actually it's a split vote.

2:26:49

So they could do a couple of things.

2:26:51

They could approve your renewal they could deny a renewal or they could remand it back to us and ask us to hear more information on it.

2:27:00

But whatever they decide you will be notified of their decision and if you don't like their decision you will have the opportunity to file for an appeal.

2:27:08

Okay.

2:27:08

Okay.

2:27:09

Enjoy the rest of your week Peter I need your reason oh there we go I got you think it's moral high left yeah the whatever those are work.

2:27:34

Yeah the applicant does not maintain high and fine reputation that's one number number one I'm going with high and fine and allowing criminal apps to take place on the license promise.

2:27:47

Actually add that to mine.

2:27:48

Okay.

2:27:52

What was that?

2:27:53

State street?

2:27:54

Yeah.

2:27:55

Uh okay calling RR4941143 Southern Brass Indianapolis LLC doing business as Terra Wild Chubb Brazilian Steakhouse address 8487 Union Chapel Road.

2:28:09

Yeah suite 120 20 morning again all right Al for the record Alex etermill and Ronaldo Piazza and this is uh a violation as you know this was an employee permit and failure to post there was uh according to the report an anonymous complaint made about um servers or employees not having their permits excis came out and did the investigation discovered that there were in fact I think two employees they weren't working that day but that did not have their server permit and Ronaldo I think you also did not have your server permit as the manager.

2:28:51

All of that has been fixed employee permits and training are uh on file at um terra gotcha.

2:29:01

Ronaldo can talk about how he checks and make sure that everyone has employee permits and the training that it's up to speed.

2:29:08

Importantly um also Ronaldo has his uh employee permit and although it doesn't show on the permit page for the ATC we have filed the manager's questionnaire for Ronaldo to list him as the manager.

2:29:22

The first form that we filed there was a problem with the signature that has been refiled so hopefully that will be updated online um soon as well but um Ronaldo if you could just explain to the board briefly about how you check employee permits to make sure that we don't have this issue yes uh we we got a ready to use these and then I know uh I was the one I don't have it but that was uh uh just moving to Indianapolis and then uh I gotta do this but the the first thing we we hire people and to make sure we uh uh uh get the liquor license and uh uh the check whatever sing one and they put them file in the issue we did not have in file these was I was that was the the the big mistake and then and we haven't file you have a single is the question they had it they didn't have it in the file they didn't have it at all.

2:30:00

um soon as well but um Ronaldo if you could just explain to the board briefly about how you check employee permits to make sure that we don't have this issue yes uh we we got it very serious these and then I know uh I was the one I don't have it but uh was uh I just moved into Indianapolis and then uh I got it is very serious but uh the first thing we we hire people and to make sure we uh uh uh get it the liquor license and uh uh the check whatever sing one and they put them file in this year we did not have in file these was I was the the the big mistake and then and we have your file every single is the question they had it they didn't have it in the file they didn't have it at all one didn't have it and the only didn't have the file and so and so now just to clarify some new hires before they take the floor and they're on Terra Gasha's gotta have that employee permit and the evidence in hand and then the file before and how are we checking expiration dates?

2:30:34

We haven't file we and then we we you you check every month uh we did or the manager yeah okay this is the easy stuff right this is the management the paperwork exactly the fact that you didn't have it doesn't help much no that sticks out to me I'm trying to understand how we come to be that a manager's running a restaurant doesn't have an employee permit.

2:30:55

Yeah I I interested it but then we just opened a restaurant and I got it for completely for God and it was little busy this was I responsibility I was big mistake yeah I did.

2:31:09

2:34:23

It was early in the morning though so but unfortunately he cost the company and uh so I had to let him go.

2:34:31

Yeah it reads in a report like he was just trying to get through the transaction.

2:34:35

Yeah um so with your other employees what kind of training are they going through because of course they go through the what's legally mandated but as far as their training with you as a manager we require you to check everyone ID regardless of 40, 50, 60, 70 but normally we do have a door guy um so and uh it is always an assisted there too so now uh there's someone at the door to check IDs now uh regardless of whatever time of the day it is when you come in there's someone there to check your ID uh even before you get to the bar.

2:35:01

So now uh there's someone at the door to check IDs now.

2:35:04

Uh regardless of whatever time of the day it is when you come in, there's someone there to check your ID, uh, even before you get to the bar.

2:35:13

And you know those door met guys have to have employed.

2:35:16

Yes, yes, so everyone has a permit.

2:35:18

2:35:29

Oh, yeah.

2:35:30

Oh no, I'm I stay up on the laws.

2:35:32

I watched this board meeting uh every time we come on.

2:35:36

Um I know exactly what goes on every time this board comes up, so I know what's going on.

2:35:42

Uh everyone has a uh a permit.

2:35:45

How uh how long you had your license?

2:35:47

Uh a couple years now.

2:35:48

But this one had happened literally like three, four months after I opened, so it was very, very new.

2:35:54

Uh we was very new, uh opening May of last year.

2:35:57

He was a new worker.

2:35:59

Okay, we're on the list, and you're right, they do come back.

2:36:02

So uh I want to see you successful.

2:36:05

So get your employees to check the IDs.

2:36:07

Oh, yeah, for sure.

2:36:08

2:36:10

2:36:11

Do we have a motion?

2:36:13

Most of motion to approve.

Aye.

2:36:17

Aye.

2:36:17

Good luck, sir.

2:36:18

Thank y'all.

2:36:20

Now start with ma'am.

2:36:23

You're right here in the front.

2:36:25

Why are you here?

2:36:27

Um violation on speedway.

2:36:29

Speedway.

2:36:30

Speedway, LLC 4120, East Southport Road.

2:36:35

Oh, speedway.

2:36:36

Speedway.

2:36:41

You know, that continued from is that continued?

2:36:45

So it was this was one that was continued three times and denied it.

2:36:50

T Slime Kenny was here.

2:36:52

We know someone in licensing, we they want to climb up the time.

2:36:57

Let them know that was first.

2:36:59

So it went to the commission, we filed a motion, asked for it to be remanded and set it for consideration today.

2:37:05

What was what's the permit number?

2:37:07

It is 4991005.

2:37:33

It showed on the permit page being separate today.

2:37:36

Yeah, it's on my list.

2:37:38

Okay.

2:37:42

I just did I didn't tag it as one of the violations.

2:37:46

Okay, I found it.

2:37:52

Sir, do you mind taking your hat off for me?

2:37:54

Sure.

2:37:54

Well, appreciate you.

2:37:59

So we've got a violation that we can talk to you about, second check, but also wanted to dip the board.

2:38:09

This well, okay.

2:38:11

I don't think I'll vote on this one.

2:38:13

Oh it's not speed was speedway.

2:38:19

Yeah, that's what threw me off.

2:38:20

But all right.

2:38:30

So for the record, Alex and Reno again, and with me.

2:38:34

I mean Drake Young, I'm the area leader over the speedway gas stations.

2:38:38

I'm Wade Smock, I'm the current manager at that speedway 4373.

2:38:45

So the first is the violation.

2:38:48

It was a survey of alcohol compliance assignment check.

2:38:52

Um then they have seven speedway, which is owned by 7-Eleven.

2:38:57

They have policies in place that they was checking by 40.

2:39:03

Um, and this employee did not do it.

2:39:06

We've heard that story many, many times.

2:39:08

Um trained and then don't do it.

2:39:11

The employees terminated.

2:39:13

Um, but then importantly, um, there was a way maybe you can explain what you did to achieve.

2:39:20

Uh you know, there's a register and the registers have to be set.

2:39:24

Okay.

2:39:25

What is allowable to be processed without ID and what is.

2:39:30

And speedway's policy is you you guard everybody.

2:39:33

We have the computer set to where you cannot bypass ID, but he had his computer set to where you could as I bypass ID.

2:39:42

And it's uh as soon as he was relieved and I come in, the first thing I did the very second I walked in the doors and went straight to the computer and I changed it to where it can no longer be used that way immediately.

2:39:52

And I was actually shocked that he had it that way.

2:39:54

Can he change it back?

2:39:55

It can be changed back, yes, but it has to be done by a manager.

2:39:58

It does.

2:40:00

It has to be done by a manager.

2:40:00

And there's some code or some yes, my sign in codes.

2:40:06

So it's just an oversight, his never got set the correct way.

2:40:09

Is that he either set it in?

2:40:12

Let me address this one.

2:40:13

Um a few months prior to that.

2:40:15

We changed our operating system from a blue cube system to a RIS system where Blue Cube, it was automatic that we had to set ID for alcohol with the new system, it gives the managers accessibility to maneuver that around a little bit.

2:40:32

So we did submit that into the corporate office, and they are working on a fix for that.

2:40:38

How long have you had your license here?

2:40:41

It's been there for quite a while.

2:40:43

I ran this location for 10 years prior to my so at least 12 years, and this is gonna be the first.

2:40:50

That's what I was gonna guess.

2:40:51

Yes, your first.

2:40:52

Yeah.

2:40:52

Whose responsibility is it to appear before this board when they're when there's a violation?

2:40:57

So that that's the next part in what I handed out to you.

2:41:01

Um ultimate the reason why there was a miscommunication and internal policy issue about getting the notice that it was served at the store to corporate in the compliance uh department.

2:41:15

What I handed you is a summary that has gone out to every store in Indiana.

2:41:22

Um it's now a corporate policy, I believe, for all of their stores nationwide.

2:41:26

Um, and you can see highlighted any notice, it goes, it gets filed to zip line, which is like an internal document management reporting um portal or system that they have that then gets to the compliance team so that the compliance team knows hey, we had a violation, or we need to show up at this local board hearing, and then they can coordinate with local council, and then managers, area managers to make sure that we are showing up when we're supposed to be there and not uh failing to appear.

2:42:01

Something that uh the speedway takes very seriously.

2:42:05

I apologize for this oversight, um, but it has been addressed.

2:42:09

Um, Commissioner McGinn, when we were asking um for relief to come back and be able to explain this to the she reacts specifically that we give you details about um what's been done, and that's that's the exhibit that I handed you.

2:42:24

So we don't anticipate that this will be an issue moving forward.

2:42:28

All right.

2:42:30

Uh any further questions from the board.

2:42:33

I feel comfortable.

2:42:34

All right, I'll accept the motion.

2:42:38

Motion to approve, all second.

2:42:39

All those in favor say aye.

2:42:40

Aye, aye.

2:42:41

Motion carries.

2:42:42

Good luck.

2:42:43

Thank you.

2:42:44

Thank you.

2:42:46

Thank you.

2:42:46

All right, sir.

2:42:49

And the toboggan.

2:42:50

Why are you here?

2:42:51

With uh for renewal for action enterprises in Indianapolis.

2:42:54

I wasn't sure if I needed to be here.

2:42:56

Yeah, but you don't have you on our list.

2:43:03

It was a renewal, you don't know you don't have any violations.

2:43:05

Are you aware?

2:43:06

I don't think so, no.

2:43:07

Yeah, so I bet you're part of the automatic so you can take a look real quick.

2:43:11

Okay, Action is the name of the company.

2:43:46

Uh Action Enterprises of Indianapolis.

2:43:50

1105 Crossback Street.

2:43:55

We have two permits last violation of 2017.

2:44:29

The Local Alcoholic Beverage Board of Marion County convened on March 2, 2026, at 2:30 PM to adjudicate a docket of new, transfer, and renewal applications, as well as cases involving violations and remonstrations (objections by the public). Board President Tyler Graves presided, with Excise Officer Amy Sony serving as secretary. The meeting featured testimony from numerous applicants, legal representatives, and public representatives regarding licensing compliance, operational policies, and community impact.

Consent Calendar

  • Several renewals were granted without violations or immediate discussion: Blue Lagoon (RR 4943192), Mama's House Korean Restaurant (RR 493138), DW Bar (DL 4931940), Payless Liquors (DL 4903421), Walgreens (DL 4926678), Walleye (RR 4939523), Buffalo Wild Wings (RR 4923978), Pit Stop Liquors (DL 491353), TPAT, LLC (RH 4930108), and Big Red Liquors #205 (DL 4931933).
  • Automatic renewals for Action Enterprises of Indianapolis (two permits) were noted as not requiring appearance due to a clean record since 2017.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Chris Staub, President of the Near East Side Community Organization, appeared to remonstrate against the renewal of Raj Suru Inc. (3801 East New York Street). He stated that while the neighborhood organization is not asking for license revocation, he expressed support for a one-year probationary renewal rather than a standard two-year term. He cited the location's history of violations, specifically sales to minors and hindering, and reported that neighbors observed a lack of ID checking ("not carding") and significant loitering issues.
  • Captain Wayne Cry of the Metropolitan Police Department briefly listed a remonstrance against Point 2.0 (3345 North Arlington Avenue), which was subsequently granted a continuance.

Discussion Items

  • Harem House (RR 4936592) and Maya Sol LLC (RR 4931124): Cases involving renewals with violations were listed, with Maya Sol requesting a continuance.
  • Downey Home Association (RC 4930047): Board members inquired about ID verification and guest day procedures for the Knights of Columbus Council 366. The Board expressed confidence in the organization's policies regarding ID checks for all members and guests.
  • Intra Copa Entertainment (RR 494324): Significant deliberation occurred regarding the classification of the establishment. Board members voiced concern that the applicant's description of the venue as a "family restaurant" conflicted with the proposed sports-bar concept and capacity. Applicant representative Esther Barber translated that the concept involved watching soccer with family, but Board Members expressed skepticism about this being a primarily family environment, noting the application listed a bar area. Approval was granted contingent on a final inspection to determine if a "limited separation" (bar area 21+) was required.
  • Takaria Danny LLC (RR 4943325) and Can Be Sushi (RR 4943323): New restaurant permits were discussed with a focus on capacity, window service policies, and ID checking. Board members emphasized the requirement that alcohol must be served at tables, not passed through windows.
  • Indy's Famous Pancake House (RR 494343): The owner addressed a past violation (failure to check ID) dating back over nine years. The owner expressed full acceptance of responsibility, stating he "set the standard" and has since implemented mandatory ID checks for all customers regardless of age perception.
  • Gangnam Castleton, LLC / Sushi Yama (RR 4943418): Discussion focused on the transfer of operations and past violations for expired permits. The representative pledged to pay closer attention to permit expiration dates.
  • Raj Suru Inc. (RR 4937130): A detailed discussion followed Chris Staub's testimony. The Board acknowledged the neighbor's concerns but noted the license was previously renewed for one year in September (not March) due to remand, meaning the probationary period had not fully expired. Board members expressed a preference for another one-year renewal to maintain closer oversight, prioritizing community concerns over a standard two-year term.
  • My Inc. (RR 4905850) and Buckeye Beverage Corp (RR 4904646): Both cases were continued due to pending violations that had recently been settled or were awaiting commission review.
  • Joe HN Inc. (Joe H. Time Out Lounge, RR 4917130): The owner, John Byer, apologized for a 2024 minor sales violation, attributing it to personal tragedy (mother's death) but taking full responsibility and confirming immediate termination of the employee. The Board accepted his explanation and expressed support for a renewal, citing his long history of compliance.
  • Buffalo Wings, Grill and Bar (RR 4919643): A district manager represented the chain regarding a failed SAC check. He affirmed the company's policy of immediate termination for any employee selling to a minor and confirmed the employee in question was fired.
  • More Cheers, LLC (TeenY, RR 4934685): Addressed a past violation regarding patio floor plan changes. The attorney explained that legal changes since the incident now allow the patio, and the violation has been paid. The Board accepted this as a resolved compliance issue.
  • La Casa de Los Moriscos (El Rincan de Susi, RR 4943290): The owner addressed a violation where an unlicensed employee (girlfriend's boyfriend) served alcohol during a closed shift. She acknowledged the error, confirmed the individual was no longer serving, and stated that all current staff are trained and licensed.The Board expressed satisfaction with the explanation and corrective actions.
  • Guachos Fire Express (RR 4937337): The owner discussed a minor sales violation by a new, unlicensed employee. She stated the employee was fired and the business is implementing stricter training, including mandatory retraining for all staff and secret shopper programs.
  • State Street Pub Indy LLC (RR 4941113): Owner Mark Tester addressed a violation involving an employee selling controlled substances (drugs). Tester expressed frustration, claiming he was not informed of the specific charge (drug sales) by Excise officers during the initial meeting and stated he acted immediately upon learning the truth. Board Members expressed significant concern regarding the owner's awareness and management, with one member stating they would vote to deny the renewal if they could alone.
  • Terra Wild Chubb (RR 4941143): Addressed a violation for missing employee permits. The owner acknowledged the administrative error as a "big mistake" due to being new to the area and pledged to file all permits immediately.
  • Shadow Lounge (RR 4936804): Addressed a minor sales violation involving a new employee. The manager stated the employee was fired on the spot and emphasized that a door person is now required to check IDs for everyone at entry.
  • Speedway, LLC (Speedway 4120 East Southport, RR 4991005): After three prior continuances and a denial, this case was reopened. An area manager for Speedway/7-Eleven explained that a manager had incorrectly bypassed ID checks on the register and apologized for the company's failure to appear at previous hearings. The Board expressed support for the corrective actions taken, including fixing register settings and corporate compliance protocols, and moved forward with approval.
