Juan Gonzalez Garcia, agent for Juan the Handyman LLC, home improvement contractor's license application for Juan the Handyman LLC at 2534 South 78th Street.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Alright.

Who's Juan?

Me.

Okay.

Are you the attorney?

I'm I'm an attorney, but I'm really here more as his friend and ex-father-in-law, in fact.

Okay.

Okay.

If you're representing the individual, we won't have you swear.

Um I assume that you're properly barred in the state of Wisconsin and all that.

Um so acting as an attorney, we shouldn't have him swear.

Um, but if you do kind of change roles or at any point.

I don't have a problem swearing.

Okay, let's look.

Can we just have you both?

Okay, if you'll both raise your right hand, we'll get you both sworn in.

Is it true the whole truth and of him with the truth?

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right.

And um Juan, are you on receipt of notice of today's meeting with the possibility your application may be denied?

Yes.

Thank you.

And will you each state your name and address for the record?

Uh Juan Gonzalez Garcia.

I live in 2534 South 78th Street, West Allies, Wisconsin.

Code 53219.

Thank you.

And uh attorney, will you do the same?

Okay, my name's uh as I said before, Jim Fergal.

Uh I'm with Habish Havish and Road Tier Law Firm, but I'm uh I appeared before this committee about 45 years ago, but not since.

Uh one is somebody I met about eight years ago.

Uh he was dating my daughter, subsequently married her.

Uh they divorced.

Uh Juan, I was a sponsor uh for his citizenship, which he obtained this January.

He's here because of uh charges that were made uh this past March.

He got a citizenship in January.

It's past March by his current wife.

Uh okay, let's involve the domestic attorney.

Thank you for let's uh you're kind of jumping the you're getting ahead of the game here, which is very good for you, you know, good for you.

But let's let me just let me let's do this in order and then and then I can give you the floor.

Okay.

Um so Sergeant Gordon, is there a police report?

Yes, on 3 2 26 the applicant was charged with battery uh disorder conduct and criminal damage to property and intimidate a victim felony in Rock County Circuit Court.

Police sentencing is scheduled for 727-26 at 9 a.m.

And on 3 4 26, the applicant was charged with contact after domestic abuse arrest in Rock County Circuit Court.

All right, so these are open cases.

Um so as as we've done in the past in the committee, we can hold these items open.

Is that right?

Yeah, before discussion and before any kind of material determination as to the charges, the committee can uh determine to effectively kind of like put those in a bubble, resolve those at a later time.

Um most specifically probably during the next annual licensure, um, just because again, this is a charge, it's not uh conviction.

Um, but charges can be considered by this committee um as to the appropriateness of the license and the kind of nexus between the charges and the license that sought.

So taking that into consideration, obviously the committee should make a determination prior to its deliberation about um the criminal charges, um, and then after that happens, then kind of proceed with the normal licensing hearing.

So either put them in a bubble or uh release them and deal with them now.

All right.

Um thank you, attorney Gresham.

What is the committee's pleasure?

I think we might ask, can we ask the applicant if they want to address it or bubble it?

Um that's new.

That would be new, Alder Member Gellis.

He's usually the uh hard-nosed one.

Um what would the other committee members like to do?

I'm I feel like I would be comfortable holding them open, but um please, Vice Chair Pratt.

I was gonna ask uh city attorney.

So if we so when we asked you you want to speak to the police report, we would not ask that.

Yeah, I mean it'd be speak to the item.

They could by voluntarily kind of speaking to it, they could enter into evidence any sort of kind of um I guess evidence that they wanted to enter, um, because it's their hearing effectively.

Um as to the consideration, obviously, if it's if you put it in that bubble, you shouldn't pop that bubble just because you're curious about something that they said.

So even if they open the door as regards it, um, then again, just make sure that um, you know, your determination and deliberation is based solely on the record in front of you exempting those things that you've exempted if you choose to do that.

Okay, thank you.

May I be heard?

No, not yet, attorney.

Okay.

It may help with your consideration.

I just want to know, I I'd like to know how the committee would like to proceed.

Because we could hold these open these items open, then he would likely be approved, I would think.

Um, and then they but they would reemerge next year at his renewal.

Oh, it is a two-year license.

I mean, the court system could take any number of years to resolve this as well, so there might be a which we know happens.

Yeah, you might match up with them as well.

Yes, so we could also not hold them open and take this up now.

And Alder Member Gallis is on record saying let's let's give it to the applicant.

Well, if we go for it.

Well, the app the applicant I only said that because the applicant seemed uh eager to address the but perhaps they didn't understand our process.

We might have changed it in the last 45 years.

No, well, yes, very good.

Well said, Alder Member Gellis.

Well, I think I don't know.

We already heard about it.

All right.

Do you want to take this up right now?

Yeah, yes.

All right, and hold open move approval.

Okay.

Yeah, that's your mo you're making a motion.

We already we have a motion for approval holding open the items on the police report.

Do we want uh any discussion from the committee on um this motion to hold open and move up and approve?

No Alder Member Gellis?

No.

Okay.

Um no discussion on Alderman Jackson's motion to hold the item, hold the items on the police report open and move approval.

Any discussion?

I'm sure that's both items, two items.

Yes, hold the items open on the police report, and uh motion to approve by Alderman Jackson.

Any uh okay, I'm hearing no objection from the committee.

Any I'm sorry, I'm hearing no discussion.

Any objection from any committee members to Alderman Jackson's motion?

Motion is approval, holding open the items on the police report.

All right, hearing no objection, so ordered.

Is it a public hearing or not?

Oh, are you here as a neighbor, sir?

You wanted to testify?

Oh, they all are.

Oh, really?

Remember, remember it's the applicant's hearing, so public testimony shouldn't come in.

It's a new application for extended hours on food.

And food.

So they're not open currently.

Correct.

All right.

And then, Madam Chair, would it be appropriate to ask uh for a show of hands from neighbors who's here in support and who's here opposed?

Yes.

I do want to acknowledge Clifton Crump, uh, Alderman Benes' chief of staff is here in the room.

Good morning.

I'm Chairman Morning.

Um I know uh brief conversation with President Previs.

He did he also uh was curious uh about the uh the breakdown who's in support of who's here and against.

Okay.

And I also noted depending on how this goes, he would be willing to uh host a neighborhood meeting on the matter.

All right.

Um and licenses have you heard from the applicant?

Um I had a conversation with Mary Bell last week.

She had a conversation with the applicant that he stated he did not receive the notice.

I emailed a copy of the notice to the email that we have on file, which is H H taxis at something.

But I sent the copy of the notice to that email.

Okay, and then back to Alderman Bergales' inquiry.

Would um folks here in support please raise your hand so we can see who's here in support.

Anyone virtually here in support?

No.

Okay, raise your hand if you're here in opposition to the application.

Okay, two weeks.

So, okay.

All 11 neighbors here in opposition to the application.

So, sounds like either way, according to Alderman Bedez's office, there was going to be a neighborhood meeting then with so much opposition, right?

Yes, that would be his perfect.

So, um, it is best, although we thank the constituents for coming out to committee with the applicant not here, it wouldn't it would work against you to have you speak out against the application if the applicant isn't here for us to vote on.

Um Alderman Bergellis moves to hold this item to the call of the chair, and sounds like Alderman Betis' office will be in touch with the constituency to let them know um about a possible meeting.

Yes, as soon as uh he's available.

Absolutely, very good.

All right, well, thank you, neighbors, for your civic engagement.

Thank you.

I was not made to square out of that, so I apologize.

No, no, so sometimes yes.

Were there any neighbors present that wanted to testify on this item?

Okay.

And your experience?

He used to sell in the streets with no license, but now he wants to do it everything with regular licensed.

Okay.

Um, thank you.

Questions from committee members for for the applicant?

Questions from Alderwoman Dmitrievich's office for the applicant.

Yes, I wanted to um uh point out that this application, um, it's being held for occupancy, I heard.

My understanding is that they will need to go to Boza um to be able to do uh 20 to 30 light motor vehicle sales on the property.

Um so I just wanted to share that with you and uh, you know, defer to the committee with how you want to handle that, whether it's to hold it penning boza or hold it, you know, or continue today.

Um, question for last year.

Yes, go ahead.

Was this flag?

Is it Bosa hold?

No, there's no hold for Bozo.

There's just a hold for occupancy.

And so I'm not sure if he's applied for occupancy.

Right, okay, so there may be a deficiency as far as the application is concerned.

Sylvia, do you want to clarify the questioning that just occurred?

Um I asked licensing whether or not there was a hold for BOSA, as identified by the aide uh for the older person's office.

Then the response was that there may have not been an application for BOSA because of the amount or volume of the cars, this changes or could have an effect on zoning, and so that would need to go to B O Z A or Boza, the Board of Zoning Appeals.

Yeah, so and this is a I guess advice to the the committee, um, as they're my clients, not uh the folks on the other side.

Um Bose is to zoning.

So zoning is the use of the land, or um rather the fitness of that specific parcel of property for the kind of intended or actual use.

A license is the fitness of the operator to continue or perpetuate that kind of use.

So a determination by this body is as to the operator, a determination by BOSA is the fitness of the land or the property.

And so whether or not this committee decides, there's still a question of fitness as to the land.

So BOZA's land committee is licenses.

I hope that was clear.

Mm-hmm.

It's the board of zoning appeals.

So it's one board is only it's como in the eluso de sol autorizado para un cierto direct.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah, go ahead.

Yes, I just I have questions, so we gotta wrap this up.

But this way, I think, the ship.

It may have been a previous shop.

Wait, can you he's stating that it used to be a dealer shop uh dealership there?

And it it may have been, but because of a lapse.

Reaffirms itself.

So that means that the operator previously might have gotten a special use.

So they might have gotten an exception, but the underlying zoning may not be for use as a car dealership.

So what happens is if that dealer left for like a year or something like that.

That means that that special use for the property, which is not designated by that zone or the plan, is not perpetuated and it doesn't flow through the land.

So the zone may have been different.

And just because it was a dealership in the past, doesn't mean that it will forever always be a dealership.

We have bars that operate in residential zones through special use.

Because they've been perpetuated because of the stopping, because of the gap, that special use dissolves.

If it falls away.

Yes.

Um the applicant has not yet applied for occupancy for this use.

Once they do, it may be referred to Boza.

Um there so I just wanted to defer to you whether you would like to hold pending their occupancy um status.

Okay, we did just pass legislation, you have to start the occupancy application first.

Is that because it's not been signed?

The effective date is that I'm sure.

Yes, I'm sorry, five yellow, you were trying to get my attention.

No worries.

Um I did look in Asala, there is a application for occupancy.

It does look like it's being referred to Boza.

I guess I mean though I knew it was missed on the application, which is why we're only having the hold for occupancy.

So it is being referred to Boza.

Okay, and so Terry, you're just saying perhaps we don't want to take this up now because of that, or what is the Yeah, I wasn't sure if this was something that you would want to hold penning Boza or not.

Okay, okay, what do you suppose?

Um clearly Alderman Jackson does think we should do that because he has just made a motion to hold.

Okay, um so Alderman Jackson has just moved to hold this item to the call the chair.

Is there any discussion on that motion?

I did want to have a little discussion.

I know this has been going on longer, longer than I had hoped we would this morning.

Um, but I, yeah.

Either way we would have had to, this is being referred to BOSA, we would have it would not be prudent to take this up as at this time.

In general, and it's that the committee's discretion and the committee is kind of represented that through passing legisl legislation that they don't the committee and the governing body don't want to effectively be superseded by or judged upon by BOSA.

They want all fit determinations as to land use and as to other kind of administrative determinations to be made before the governing body makes its deliberation, chooses whether the land or the operator are fit for that use.

So you effectively you folks don't want to be overridden by another body, an unelected body, and that's that's why we've set the priority as such.

Alright, any further discussion on Alderman Jackson's motion to hold this item to the call of the chair.

I mean that we moved.

Okay.

Any objection?

All right.

So Alderman Just to, I'm sorry, just to explain to our license division staff and the applicant.

This items will be in held because you're you have to go through Boza first.

Okay.

So it's it's not failing.

It's we're holding it for now.

I got another one up, but I think that's a application.

All right.

So hearing no objection to Alderman Jackson's motion to hold this item to the call, the chair.

So ordered.

So for IDC on the way.

All right.

Suerte.

Thank you.

All right.

Um, we are going to move on now to our 915.

I don't chair.

Yes.

If we do have Clifton Crump, um, I believe that we do have an attorney or some representative of the agent.

Oh, previous.

Oh.

Um, so the previous district twelve.

Okay.

Great.

Yep.

Alderman Peter Bergelis moves to reconsider our 905 AM agenda item.

Francis D.

Strussel, agent for Multiverse, Class B Tavern Public Entertainment Premises and Food Dealer licenses, transfer application with change of agent, removing added stackholders and transfer of staff for Woody's at 1579 South 2nd Street.

Alright, good morning again.

Good morning.

Wait, and then Mr.

Strusel's.

Who's here now?

You have an attorney or he's here.

Okay.

I'm here, you can hear me.

Oh, great, great.

Wonderful.

Um, do you want to introduce yourself, attorney?

Attorney David Wowski.

All right.

Attorney David Olafsky is representing Woody's.

Let's go sworn back in.

Or no one relevant sworn back in, including Clifton, because people exited the room.

Sure.

Can we reswear you guys in if you'll raise your right hand?

Is it true that who do it and if you met the truth?

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you.

All right.

And attorney, are you in receipt of notice of today's meeting with the possibility your application may be denied?

I am now, yes.

Thank you.

Alright, an attorney has already um introduced himself.

Um Mr.

Strussel, will you introduce yourself?

My name is Jason Van Stratton.

Oh, I'm sorry, Jason.

And would you give your address?

Sure, 59 5978 South Kurtz Road in Hills Corners, Wisconsin.

Thank you very much.

And Clisten Crump is here from Alderman Betis' office.

Yes.

All right.

Um, okay, Ms.

Welpez, are there any holds?

No holds.

Sergeant Cornejo is there a police report?

No police reports.

All right.

Madam Chair, I can elucidate as to why this is in front of us as far as um standard practice being to administratively pass this.

Um our office, the mayor's office and the president of the common council received an intent to sue letter um from um a neighbor.

Um that neighbor um uh I guess identified or uh suspected that there was um a transfer that had occurred at this location um and that they hadn't received proper notice, so it would have been a violation of our opening meetings law and allegations um subsequent to that.

Um it was then found out that no application for transfer had ever been made.

Um so the uh complaining individual um was kind of ahead of the game, even before the business had applied for the transfer.

Um so um after the transfer was received, we kind of converted um or licenses rather um in their infinite wisdom kind of converted that intent to sue to a standard complaint which would trigger this hearing.

So that's why we're here today.

It's a uh neighborhood um uh neighborhood complaint.

Um again, you might see it styled in your record as an intent to sue, with notices again, including my office, the mayor's office, and the president's office.

Um, all of which again um, you know, you can read.

Um, but um, because of the style of it, we wanted to make sure to um opine that again we believe that there's no it has been no open meetings law violation.

There has been no other uh meritorious violation or um failure in process or procedure with regard to our office licenses, the president's office, the mayoral office, etc.

So in general, this has come in as normal, it has been processed as normal.

Normal notices have been given out uh within our 20 250 foot radius, and then specific notice was given to the complaining individual as per.

Okay, thank you for that context, Attorney Gresham.

Um I did ask earlier if we had any neighbors present who wish to testify on this item, Woody's.

I'll ask again.

Are there are there any neighbors or witnesses present that wish to testify to this item today?

Woody's bar 1579 South 2nd Street.

Either virtually or in person, is anybody here on this item today?

Alright, um, just as I said, uh as was earlier, there's I am showing that there are there's nobody present here today on Woody's.

Um so with that, so with that, are there any questions from committee members at this time or Alderman Betas' office?

You support the application, very good.

I do have a message from uh Alderman Bedas as well, indicating support support.

He was one wanted to see if there's anybody any neighbors here, and there aren't any.

Okay, with that.

This is a new application as a transfer.

Uh no, no transfer.

Transfer, got it.

Okay, thank you.

Um did you want to make a motion, Alderman Burgell?

I'll move approval.

All right, Alderman Peter Bergelis moves for approval.

Any discussion on that motion?

Any objection?

Hearing none, so ordered.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, attorney.

Thank you, Deku.

Thank you.

Okay.

We will now move on to our 9-15 a.m.

agenda item.

Sharish Patel, agent for Bucks Grocery LLC, food door license renewal application for Milwaukee Food Market at 2903 West Clyborne Street.

Hey.

All right, just a moment here.

We're just waiting for Alder Woman Moore to get into the room.

Yes.

Thank you.

Yes.

All right.

He said yes, right.

Okay.

Very good.

Thank you.

Um, and then Sharish, are you in receipt of notice of today's meeting with the possibility your application may be denied?

Yes, I am.

All right, and if you'll state your name and address for the record, sure.

So tell three, five eight, Patel 3858 Dwight Court, Mobile, Alabama.

366 19.

Thank you.

All right, Ms.

Lopez, are there any holds?

No holds.

Okay, Sergeant Cornejo, is there a police report?

There are no police reports.

All right.

Are we here on an objection?

Is that why we're here?

I see we have somebody from neighborhood Services.

Yes.

Would you introduce yourself?

Hi.

Thank you.

Alright.

So DNS has an objection.

I was just here to give an update on the current status of the property.

Alright.

Alder Woman Moore, do you want to give us any context?

So just really quick.

One of the reasons why there's not a lot on the report, like a police report and other items because this space has been now closed.

I think we're probably running into a year that hit that the space has been closed.

It had significant foundational damage as well as a significant rodent issue that had gone on for I'm sure probably years until the foundation started to crumble, and then there were complaints of rodent issues in the space.

And the owner uh did not proactively maintain his uh property and left and it resulted in the health department coming in, DNS coming in.

There were a lot of violations that uh that occurred.

So we're now at this point where we're talking about um potentially reopening the space if it meets um all the necessary qualifications.

I've had several neighborhood meetings with residents in regards to um, you know, uh safety.

Uh a lot of drug dealers hung outside um of the of the store.

Like we have a um a pocket park um that's right across the street um from the space, and it just it the owners just weren't proactive about making sure that the drug dealers weren't hanging out, they weren't in the store, they just weren't, in my opinion, weren't running a good establishment.

So I'll let um DNS sort of share their their findings.

Um I'm really I'm I'm not sure if the health department is here uh because they were supposed to sign off before I gave any approval or um recommendation to open back up.

I needed to make sure the two entities provided enough feedback so that we know that it was safe for residents to um patronize their establishment.

Madam Chair.

Alright, thank you, Alder Woman.

Yes, Fabiola.

In regards to the health department, I was in communication with them.

They did a walkthrough last week and said everything was good, that they've been working with them um proactively, that the space is clean, they have said that they weren't gonna be present, um, that they had no issues with them, and that they would be working with them to get the processing and like the deli section back open when they were ready, but they're still working with them on that.

Okay, and madam chair, yes.

Uh, believe that the elder um may have opened yourself up to cross, so we'll throw it to the applicant to cross-examine some of that test of testimony.

Yes, it came in.

All right.

Um, any well, let me take any questions from committee members for Alder Woman Moore at this time.

All right, any questions from Mr.

Patel for Alder Woman Moore?

At this time.

Only questions, please.

Yes, please.

Um, uh the women were uh you stated that uh there were uh individual drug dealers hanging out, things like that of nature.

Um can you can you tell me where did you see any?

Uh exactly, was it outside the store, inside the store, of course at the park?

Because we've been closed for a year as far as I remember, uh, I think you just joined this.

So can you help me understand?

Uh a little bit more details.

Yes, Mr.

Patel.

Um, Merrill Park is my neighborhood.

I take that street every day to and from work, and um, I'm regularly in the neighborhood.

Prior to the um store closing, um, I would see um um said drug dealers, um, not only you know that I've witnessed, but also testimony from residents that were in front of the store as well as across the street, um, where the uh where the pocket park is.

Um, there were numerous numerous um um just feedback from residents that live across the street.

Uh, you know, that they're they just they're not told to leave.

And you know, it it's been a regular thing.

I've been there for um in that neighborhood for over eight years, and when the store um was open, I always saw them outside.

All right, just a follow-up question, please.

If I may, so was this prior to uh the beer license removal or after?

Now you still saw people hanging out because both okay, okay.

And are there anyone now hanging out?

So the store has been closed, sir.

The store has been closed for almost a year.

So you don't see anybody at all outside hanging out?

It took some it took some time to wean them off, but um, but but that so when the store closed, yes, they were still they still lingered around, yes.

Um now we don't we do not see them as much.

Um there are residents that are you know thankful um that they feel a little bit more um more safe in the neighborhood.

Anything further, Mr.

Patel?

No, ma'am, thank you.

All right, thank you.

Um, are there any neighbors present that wish to testify on this item today?

If you'll raise your hand, okay.

I have one neighbor here in person on this item.

Is there anybody on virtually?

Please unmute and let me know if you're here on this item today.

I'm sure.

It may be useful to have DNS applying first.

Oh yes.

Um, all right.

I will um I'll let DNS testify first, sir, and then we'll bring you up and you can offer some testimony as well.

Go ahead, DNS.

All right.

So there was an order by the condemnation section back in June of 2025 that actually uh they were ordered to vacate the occupancy, the retail occupancy in the basement until the orders were in compliance.

There were uh violations for structural plumbing and electrical issues.

However, those orders or that order was abated, and the permit was closed on January 13th of 2026.

Then there was also an order issued by a commercial inspector for some um garbage trash issues, the dumpster issues.

Um that order was also abated uh just this past couple weeks, June 11th, 2026.

Um at the same time that order was abated, the fire inspection was conducted uh and that passed without any fire violations being noted.

Um I did stop out there yesterday to observe the property as it is now, just the exterior.

There's a couple of minor violations, missing siding, defective siding, uh, a missing downspout, and um some soffit panels were hanging down as well.

Um, but I I don't believe the owner of the property owns the retail occupancy or has anything to do with the retail occupancy.

To my recollection, and that was one of the clarification, Madam Chair, um Mr.

Patel.

Um I was under the impression because this is what was confusing the last time, he owns the entire building as well as the retail occupancy and hires another individual to manage it.

That's the clarification that I would like today from the committee from Mr.

from Mr.

Patel, like who owned me like he owns the build, so there's um residential.

Um I want to say three or four units up top, and so I just I I need to understand he's the owner of the from what I know, he's the owner of the building and the retail and just and hire somebody to work for him.

Okay, I just you we need to go through the do you have any questions for the DNS inspector?

Alderman Moore?

Um, and then I'll go to your question, but we should just go.

No, yeah, so the question is.

This is cross now for DNS.

So the only question that I have um for DNS is just based on um do those minor things preclude him from today's decision to open back up.

I don't believe so.

Okay, thank you.

All right, any questions for DNS from committee members?

Any questions for the DNS inspector from um Mr.

Patel?

I don't have a any question.

I'm just trying to figure out why you have this only questions for the DNS inspector.

So no questions for him, Mr.

Patel?

No, no, not at all.

Okay, and then would you like to answer Alderwoman uh Morris question around?

Do you own the entirety of the property?

Yes, I will absolutely do so.

So I apologize.

I'm not uh completely aware of the Milwaukee laws uh when it comes to zoning, uh permitting, but just letting you guys know I am only a leezy.

I have nothing to do with anything outside of that structure.

Uh as soon as I open my door, unlock it in the morning.

Me, my employees, my manager, anybody that goes in.

We are only responsible for the inner walls, which we operate under, and that is it's I I there's nothing we can do about the dumpster.

Uh I know DNS uh has seen it.

We have complained multiple times.

We asked the police department multiple times to put our cameras and they can monitor our storage within our store as well.

Mr.

Patel.

I'm sorry, I just want to get an answer on so you don't own the property.

No, no, no.

Let me finish the question.

Mr.

Patel, let me finish the question.

Do you own this property?

No, no, not at all.

Okay, so here I just use the store inside.

Easily see.

Okay.

Okay.

Very good.

Thank you.

Okay, thank you for answering that question.

Um, we do have a neighbor.

Before we go to neighbors, go ahead.

Um thank you, Madam Chair.

Um, Mr.

Patel, are you aware of a Google map image documenting loitering and an active drug deal from October 2019 of your property?

I took over that uh business back in 2022, I believe, or three.

Okay, so that was that was the previous operator.

Okay.

Uh so your your testimony today is that you do you have an ownership interest in an LLC or the body that owns the building?

Nothing at all with the building.

So who owns the building?

Um Fala 7 investments.

I'm sorry?

Fala 7, F-A-L-A-7 investments.

I believe I yeah, emailed all the details to uh all the men more in the past.

Okay, uh and you have no ownership interest in that LLC?

Not not at all.

Not at all.

So no, okay.

Um, does your lease specify where the dumpster may be placed?

No, not at all.

So you so as the owner of the business, it's still your responsibility for trash and to maintain the property outside, correct?

Not to maintain the property, only to just make sure that I put my trash in the dumpster.

That is it, and we pay for our trash removal ourselves.

So there's an expectation in the city of Milwaukee that business owners maintain their property.

You own the business inside of this these walls.

Uh you are a member of the community.

If you're licensed by the city of Milwaukee, you have a responsibility to maintain the property in the neighborhood.

Okay.

Just want to be clear.

Yes, that's fine.

I understand.

So if if your customers or if trash blows in from across the street and it's in front of your front door, it's your responsibility to help keep the neighborhood clean.

If you own the business inside, or if you have zero ownership and interest in the structure itself.

And we certainly don't want that to happen to you in the future.

No, and this too.

Thank you.

All right, we have one neighbor present.

If you'll come up, sir, if you want to testify, if you'll come up to the standing mic.

Oh, you have to tell me that.

Oh, okay.

I think we got we do have transitions.

Oh, yes, okay.

But and in the future, in the futuro, si puedes um interpreter mas temprano, but it would have been a key.

Um, yeah, will you see that?

Okay.

Please raise your right hand and we'll get you sworn in.

Do you saw me here from the defense of the subverdue of the state of Wisconsin that the testimony about to give is it true the whole truth and a film with the truth?

Yes, thank you.

Alright, if you'll state your name and address for the record, you vivo in 527 North May 9th Street, Rivoque, Wisconsin.

87 North 29th Street.

His name is Maurizio Rodriguez and the address is 527 North 29th Street.

Okay, you have two and a half minutes to give your testimony.

Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out how I'm gonna do that.

Can you let him go all the way through or you're gonna need him to pause?

There is gonna be some pause, yeah.

Alright, I'll try, I'll try.

Yeah.

Okay.

Alright, so for an established uh violencia, you have a tiroteos, they've been living in his uh property about four years uh now, and they live half a block from the street from the store, and uh they have been going on uh shootings, uh, in violence, okay.

A lot of trash, a lot of noise.

Can you guys let it can you let them finish a little bit more before you pause them?

Okay, it's just hard for me to like this is like okay, please.

Uh, you must have that one the insecurities that uh he goes through when the stores open.

Since the store has been closed, the violence uh has been has gone down, he doesn't have any proof, but he's more surely that they all there's also drug related things going on.

And he's not saying it because of the owner of the store, but because of the people that gets uh together around the store.

And that's everything.

Okay.

Alright, thank you.

If you'll stay there for questions.

Are there any questions from committee members for this neighbor?

Are there any questions from Alder Woman more for this neighbor?

Are there any questions from Mr.

Patel?

Only questions for this neighbor.

Yeah, yes, go ahead.

So uh I'm sorry, I forgot the gentleman's name, but uh so did this situation uh start occurring after, or it was there prior to the building of the park across the store.

To the building of the park, the pocket park.

There's a park right across the street.

Yeah, so we'll apply this voice or understand.

And and después, after he said afterwards, anything else, Mr.

Patel?

No, thank you.

Alright, thank you.

Thank you for your testimony.

Okay, I can go to the same.

Yes, yes.

Alright, that concludes our neighbor testimony.

We are in the 10th Aldermanic District, Alderman Moore.

Um, thank you so much, uh, Madam Chair, committee members.

Um, again, I at the end of the day, um, I want our business owners to be responsible.

And so, if you are going to live in a whole different community outside the state, um, and not have protocols in place to be able to oversee appropriately your business, that's what my challenge has been.

And so neighbors, you know.

Um, there are residents that that that has also come to me and would love um for the store to be open because it was something that was in walking distance, you know, from them.

Um, but one of the things that I won't tolerate is a business owner that um doesn't have high standards for the community that they serve.

And so um uh I am not necessarily opposed um to this location um being reopened.

Uh I know that um we would love for um their cameras to be connected um to uh our MPD uh because we have to get we we cannot have the drug dealers um back.

Um there needs to be a protocol for cleanup um daily uh so that that trash that is you know directly in front of um their store or even just across the street, they need to have a plan to make sure that they're keeping the area um clean.

It is their responsibility um to do that.

I just want responsible business owners.

Well, I'm sure.

Um, okay, and we do have to give them closing remarks too.

But do you have questions for Alderman and more?

Well, these are amendments.

I was gonna ask me to say, amenable to amendments.

Go ahead, Mr.

Patel.

Um, did you hear Order Woman Moore?

Yes, absolutely.

Absolutely.

Are you amenable to a cleanup plan and um the future system with the police department?

Yes, yes, we already started.

Uh my uh my manager has spoken to the police department to put installed cameras and uh signs within the store.

I think that that was never an issue, guys.

The cameras, uh the cleanup now I understand what they're saying.

It's a little different than what my perception was.

Typically, in a city area, you're cleaning inside, not worrying about outside now, because that the end or takes care of it.

I understand now, and I I know we'll put in the protocol process.

Um that's not a problem, but we did mention to the police department multiple times about cameras, even outside or whatever they need, we are fully, fully available.

We can give them access to all our cameras, or they can put one or two whatever they like.

So I'm not even a post to anything of that nature.

So what about the cleanup plan?

Yeah, that's that should be simple, guys.

I mean uh it's just to be four times a day.

They go outside.

Maybe um uh so patterns change in convenience stores.

Um, especially if you if you've been closed for a year.

So you never know when your busier time is, so we'll put a protocol where right after the busier time they go outside and clean up.

That's not that's not that difficult to handle.

We'll take care of that.

So unfortunately, the commitment, that is.

I mean he stated four times a day, but um, I'm just I'm just giving you an example, guys.

Uh that would quote you and it could be 20 times a day, but busy.

We just gotta figure out these numbers.

Hey, you're seeing a lot more, uh I mean, I'm not trying to discriminate one versus another, but if you're seeing elderly, you know they're not gonna uh loiter.

Young kids, they're gonna uh they're gonna litter it a little bit here and there.

So you know at that point, hey, go outside guys and clean up.

That's it.

Okay, I'm not hearing any direct amendments.

Uh Alderman Jackson, are you?

So direct amendment is to um to update the application for the future system of the police department and three times a day a cleanup plan.

Is that what you want, Mr.

Patel?

I mean, he has to be the one that wants to initiate these amendments.

Oh, we we can uh we can set the timeline or or whatever you like three times or four times as easy, but he said four times.

You want to you want to do the four?

You want to amend the your application to reflect cleaning daily in and around the property four times?

Yes.

Yes.

Alright.

Is that the amount of Alderman Jackson moves to amend the application at the best of the applicant to reflect cleaning in and around the property four times a day?

I was gonna put it on a separate amendment.

That's fine.

Okay.

Alderman Jackson moves to amend the application at the applicant's behest to reflect participate.

Is it participation in the fuchsia system?

Future system with MPD?

And hearing no objection to that motion, so ordered.

All right.

Does that sound good, Aldo Woman Moore?

Yes, madam chair.

All right.

Did you wanna did you need something, Fabio?

No, I got it.

I'm sure.

Yes.

Uh just put me in the queue after Alderman Jackson.

I think he's done.

Um we do want to we do have to let Mr.

Patel give closing remarks, but go ahead.

Oh, before closing remarks, I wanted to ask licensing.

I was looking for the application, but this is the only application before us is a renewal that expired last year.

That's correct.

So the renewal is more than a year old.

I don't know how wouldn't that trigger a new application as opposed to a renewal?

No, because this was scheduled for committee in November of 2025 and has been held, so it's been in limbo.

Understood.

Thank you very much for that.

Uh can you give us the hours of operation that are in the original license?

I just don't I can't see in the file.

The hours are 8 a.m.

until 9 p.m.

every day of the week.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Uh Mr.

Patel, I wanted to give you an opportunity to give closing remarks before we head into committee and make a motion.

Yeah, guys.

I'm sorry about uh certain issues that uh we were not aware of about the cleaning is part.

Um also the dumpster, uh there's always an issue uh because of the tenants that are out there.

We're working on it with the landlord uh constantly.

And uh we are ready.

Uh we'll be in able to assist the police department making sure that either they get informed or uh full access to our cameras uh as soon as they're ready.

Uh we we'd rather have them have it done before we even open.

Uh I am I'm willing to work on that part as well.

There's certain things that are under our control, but there are certain things just out of our control.

Uh everything that perspired at the building was not part of our wrongdoing.

Um I can't say it's anyone's wrongdoing.

There's probably a situation with the foundation, uh, the rodents, the whole thing.

Yes, we noticed it when it became too late, but uh I'm glad that uh fixing the foundation did fix anything.

And uh I'm sure DNS and health department can update you guys and all that stuff, but uh it seems like we are fully uh ready to be operational uh with your permission, guys.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Patel.

Madam Chair.

Yes.

I I just had a quick question um for the health department.

Um is this would would this be on a regular inspection monthly?

Um or what what is the timeline for the health department?

The health department is not here, it's not here.

Okay.

I can speak this.

So it wouldn't be on, it would be on a uh normal health timeline.

It wouldn't be on a specific one.

Are you thinking about the cleanings being monitored by them?

So the business plan is not monitored by the health department.

The health department has a sanitary rule, so like any food preparation or food delivery will be checked at a normal pace, but it won't be the you know, every day they're checking whether or not.

No, no, no.

What about expired food?

Yes, how does that work?

The health department.

That'll be the yeah, so they'll either they might or might not look through packaged food, but as far as you know, prepare food or something like that, they will check that.

They'll temp it, they'll do all sorts of stuff like that when they do an inspection.

So I don't know when that occurs.

Um, there's a it's an irregular um I guess pace because they don't want people to have forewarning.

So if a resident sees expired food being sold, does that trigger then the health department coming in?

It can, but it can also trigger the MPD to respond to that.

So the MPD will come through and then oftentimes, you know, uh identify to the business owner that there's expired food for sale um and then watches that food is destroyed or um uh yeah, okay.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, madam chair.

All right, well, with that, we can head into committee.

Madam Chair.

Alder Member Ellis.

I have reservations.

Um, on this renewal application.

Uh this out of state property owner has told us many times that uh there are things in our uh not in our control was the quote I just heard four minutes ago.

Not in our control.

Uh everything is in your control.

If you're a business owner in the city of Milwaukee, your business is your responsibility.

And I uh refuse to sit on the licensing committee and hear business owners skirt their responsibility to being a good neighbor.

Period.

If you want to operate in the city of Milwaukee, you're going to be a good neighbor, and if not, we'll be back before this committee.

And you and your license will not be renewed.

And you also don't get to interrupt.

No, that's not him.

It's another applicant.

He's accidentally unmuted.

Savannah Brooks is with near Westside Partners.

Okay.

Oh there we go.

Um, testimony.

No, no, no.

I'm sorry, we already heard neighbor testimony.

We're we're in committee now.

I'm sorry, Ms.

Brooks.

We already took neighbor testimony, but uh Alder Woman Moore certainly acknowledged you.

So, madam chair, I am very hesitant to support an applicant who says this is not in our control.

Uh, the trash, I can't do anything about the problems in the neighborhood aren't my responsibility.

So uh I'm I'm hesitant, hesitant for the renewal.

Uh what I'm looking for, should this uh application renewal be approved?

Uh we're recommending for approval from this committee.

Uh I will be uh waiting for that renewal that will be before us in November, or would it be a full year?

It would be a full year.

A full year.

So that renewal will come back.

Uh what I'll be looking for is a uh business owner who's active in the community, who's a part of the neighborhood, who supports uh neighborhood engagement and youth activities in that pocket park right across the street.

Uh and if there are any neighborhood complaints, uh for me personally, as a member of this committee, if I'm still on that committee next year, will be of utmost concern for another renewal.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Alderman Gallis.

Yeah, I do have the same concerns about some of the um responses that the applicant um gave to us and to the elder woman.

Um committee members, Alderman Bergellis did not make a motion, I'll make a motion.

Uh Alderman Jackson.

Move approval as a minute with a warning letter.

Alderman uh DeAndre Jackson moves for approval as amended with a warning letter.

Are there any objections to that motion?

I would like my objection noted.

Any further objection?

I'll abstain.

Um Alderman Berg Ellis abstains.

Should we do a roll call at this point?

I think we have to.

Uh Alder Bauer, yeah.

I think he's still on the board.

Okay, yes, is Alderman Brower.

Yes, he is still on.

All right, Alderman Brower, we're gonna have to take a roll call on this.

So if you'll unmute all right, he may have stepped away.

So we may have to abstend.

That's all right.

Oh no, he wouldn't be an abstention, he's just excuse.

Excuse.

Yeah, all right.

Let's do a roll call vote.

Okay, on the motion approval is amended with a warning letter.

Um Alderman Jackson.

Uh Alderman Brower, excuse.

Alder Member Galles.

I'll abstain.

It was pitched as a banquet hall.

This is the old terminal property um just south of the airport spur freeway.

Um it says banquet hall, tavern and nightclub.

Nightclub, I I didn't think was one of the items that was indicated they're not interested in a nightclub.

Sergeant Cornejo is there a police report.

Uh 8925 at 6 30 p.m.

Walking police were dispatched to a theft at 5848 South 27th Street.

Investigation revealed the subject was test driving a vehicle.

I never brought it back.

Does the committee have any questions about the police report?

Otterman uh Spiker, do you have any questions about the police report?

No.

Thanks.

Looking at you calling.

Uh, um are there any neighbors present who wish to testify?

Let the record reflect that there are no neighbors present and wish to testify.

This is in the 13th automatic district.

Other than Spiker.

Uh thank you, Madam Chair.

So uh this uh while back uh had a committee where there was a neighborhood objection, so we held a neighborhood meeting quite some time ago, um, sorted things out, had the police department there had the owner their owner's son, um, took care of that issue.

A couple of things came up um from the neighbors.

There was a request uh to make sure not to park tall vehicles on the northwest corner of the lot at the corner of 27th and gold crest, and also when they unload cars to do it east of their driveway on Gold Crest so as not to um create a blockage when cars are turning from northbound 27th onto Gold Crest.

So I had spoken with Mohammed, I believe, after the last license hearing, and there was an understanding that those amendments were going to be made to the plan of operations, so I guess I would ask um the license division if those have been put in, and if not, um to go from there.

We have not received anything recently.

Okay.

Then for Mr.

Assad uh and his son if he's on the line, um, I guess the question is uh would you be willing to amend your application in light of the neighborhood meeting as we discussed?

I know at the meeting you said that would be no problem, but just wanted to make it a matter of record.

Um so again, no parking of any tall vehicles on that northwest corner, which can create a site obstruction, and to unload the cars east of your driveway on Gold Crest.

Yes.

I'm sorry, could you say that again?

Had a little trouble here.

Yes.

Okay.

Madam Chair, before we make that motion, uh tall vehicles should be explicit.

So I would say I guess I don't know the average height of a vehicle, but um if we could be explicit, that would be best.

So I don't know if it's a box truck situation or seven feet.

Yeah, seven feet sounds good.

Yeah, box trucks are or larger vehicles.

Um we could we could even just say um a car.

Yeah, so no higher than a standard mid-size or something.

Well, mid-sizes vague, too.

Um, let's look at a seven six feet.

Or seven feet.

Does eight work or seven is seven best?

Seven's fine.

Peter knows it.

What was this?

Um question for the for the alder, what why is the the why was there a request for tele vehicles?

Is it blocking traffic or blocking sunset visuals or something?

Uh it's a site uh it's uh site issue, so vehicles will come westbound and gold crest, look to the left, and if there's a tall vehicle there, they have to edge out into 27th Street to see.

So um, yeah, so I mean seven feet is is fine.

Could we would it be possible to apply a vision triangle just like a fence on an alley?

Yeah, we could go the DPW route and make them do it, but since the folks were amenable to the requests of the neighbors, uh I figured we wouldn't uh because I don't know if DPW will say it's actually you know a safety hazard or not.

It was just a request from the neighbors, and since the business was amenable to it, they have a million cars.

They can just park a shorter one there.

Would five feet be preferable, especially if someone is in a seated position at that corner, five feet is probably gonna be even better than seven.

I mean.

Sure.

If there's a car that's only five feet, that's fine by me.

Okay.

What's the motion?

Well, I mean, we make sure that they're amenable to it, and if they don't have vehicles that that are that short, I guess.

Mr.

Asad, would you be uh able to just park you know a mid-sized car there?

And is that in your understanding your knowledge of the fields no taller than five feet, six feet, something like that?

Yes, I know uh that's what we've been doing for since uh that meeting just said we've been like uh see the see them cars, no like uh uh big trap or uh sounds good.

So it's five feet okay for you then, sir?

That's fine with me.

Okay.

Okay.

What's your motion?

So the request was which I thought I heard Mr.

Sadd essentially, no parking of vehicles over five feet on the northwest corner of Latit, the corner of 27th and Goldcrest, and to unload cars east of their driveway on Gold Crest as opposed to West.

Oh, camera's at the locate nice, nice good.

So the motion by Otterman Jackson is that the business will not park cars over five feet on the northwest corner of gold crest, and they also will not park east of the driveway on Goldcrest.

They will unload cars only.

They will not unload cars east of the driveway.

No, they will only unload gold.

They were only unload cars east of the driveway on Goldcrest.

Sorry, if you don't have a visual, it's kind of tricky.

Are there any objections to the motion?

Hearing is thinking that's so ordered.

Thank you.

Alright.

And with that, I have no other check.

Well approval as amended.

Okay.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Thank you.

You are doing, yes.

Next up on our 9 55 a.m.

That was a scheduled for 9 25, but we haven't heard that one.

That one was withdrawn.

They withdrew their application.

They withdrew the request uh that they submitted and they are disqualified from reapplying for six months.

So as of right now, they are not able to sell.

The new operators.

Okay, will we get information on that in the mail or in touch with the altar's office?

Rocha?

Yes, it is.

Yeah, the applicant reached out to us last week and indicated he's not.

He's no longer going to go through with um purchasing this business.

Okay.

So we have to stay on the current.

It's gonna say under the current owner.

That's my understanding.

Yes.

I did try to reach out to the applicant to ask what happened, but he never got back to us.

So I'm yeah, I'm sorry, we don't um we don't have a way of notifying neighbors when that happens.

License division.

Uh they withdrew too short of a period before committee for us to send out notices, so no.

Yes, so apologies.

And then I'm accompanied by Jigger Charlie here, the agent.

Yeah, you'll have to raise your right hand to be sworn in.

Do you tell me if I'm on the defensive?

I don't see.

He's the one in the striped shirt on this.

That's right.

The Asonian feminine defensive penalties have buried you have the study of Wisconsin that the dash you're about to give.

Is it true to hold good and if you look at truth?

I do.

Thank you.

And can you please give your name and address?

Okay.

Alright, you can continue with the um to speak to the items on the police report.

Um, we called police uh on the occasions.

We could due to customer issues amongst themselves, and uh there were a couple of them due to the mental conditions of the customers where we could not uh remove them uh as mentioned in the report.

Uh either they had mental issues or they were roaming uh inappropriately in the lobby, and they had internal domestic issues.

So hence we had to call the police.

Uh but we also had one incident where a guest made an uh reservation for every day and ended up staying for almost 90 days and then stopped paying.

And that particular guest had created a lot of issues and police had advised us to follow through the eviction process, which took about two to three months.

So finally on April 10th, we got the court order, and uh we did remove that one guest who had created several issues in the hotel.

So I think uh this number of complaints should go down uh significantly because that guest has already left the hotel and has been evicted.

Thank you.

Okay.

Does the committee have any questions about the police report?

Audience Michael, any questions about the police report?

Uh yeah, a couple.

Thank you.

Um with respect to the item 55, the fight between the group of 20 guests.

Um when I looked at the PA 33, it looked like it was quite a large family and friends.

Um that was kind of an outlier incident.

Can you say anything more about what happened there?

Um, generally we do not uh entertain uh large uh guests.

Uh I mean I would say family reunions are always welcome and businesses are always welcome.

But uh anybody with uh more than uh four guests per room, we would not entertain.

And this is something an anomaly which happened, which we did not know that uh there would be a domestic violence issue between them, and it has nothing to do with uh I would say an ivory or anything, but it was more like a domestic issue.

Yeah, that's what the PA 33 seemed to substantiate as well.

Um, so there were, you know, at this hotel, there's typically been, you know, single-digit calls for service.

Uh last year it bumped up a bit, um, and this year it was at 24.

Um by my count, about 15 of them involved a request for a guest to be removed.

Um, with respect to that, um, one concern is uh whether you need security on site if the number of problem cases you have is is ticking up over the years.

Um, I guess one question I have is do you have any security on site?

Have you thought about it?

I looked for a pattern of like late night removals, but there were quite a few afternoon ones as well.

So just wondering um one, whether you have security on site, and if not, whether you have any sort of um de-escalation training for your staff so that they can try to handle the circumstances where there isn't danger, um, but just you know, a hot guest needs to be talked down.

Uh sure, all the respecter, uh, valid concern.

What we have done is since then on busy nights, like on a Friday and a Saturday, we have ended up having uh two employees uh at the front desk instead of one.

So that would help uh de uh DSM solve the issues before they come up.

And uh we are trying to have the general manager be available up till like seven, eight o'clock in the evening.

So some most of these issues happen around uh afternoon time and the early evening times, so that would help the GM is around and the front desk, which you can de-escalate and not call the police.

So we are working we have uh probably for last I would say two months we have put that in place, and we are working through a process where we can before it escalates and we have to call the police, we would knock on the door and try to remove those guests.

Okay.

And then I don't think we've had it at this hotel.

I know um you have other hotels in the district, but um, would you be amenable to meeting with the community liaison officers and going over um some of the standards for when you should call police when you shouldn't?

Of course, any time there's there's danger, you want to make sure um you cut you're calling the police, but also um whether you could put in steps like the ones it sounds like you're proactively putting in.

Um so that kind of conversation, um, if we haven't had it with the CLOs might be worth having.

Is that something you'd be willing to partake in?

The general manager and and um any staff that needs to be involved as well.

Uh sure, we would uh have the general manager set up a meeting with the CLO and work with them as to the process, and if need be, we can have uh a couple uh front desk agents also available at that time for the training.

Okay, um, and uh please email my office and we'll make sure to um help facilitate that meeting.

Um, we can involve the bid director if if he wants to attend as well.

Um, but uh yeah, I I know have other hotels in the district, you you run a tight ship in general.

I just want to make sure that we're not um using MPD as security if if security turns out to be needed, so um, thank you.

Sure, thank you.

I'm listening to really it will be joked to be haram.

Thank you.

Are there any neighbors present who wish to testify?

Let the record reflect that there are no neighbors present wish to testify.

Again, this is in the 13th automatic district, Ottoman Spyker.

Um, again, have experience with these hotel owners.

I know um they're they're generally very proactive with the commitment for the meeting with the CLOs.

Um, I guess I take a wait and see approach with uh the calls for service to see whether the recent steps and steps recommended by the CLOs can help um tick these down.

I don't want to encourage businesses for a second not to call to the police, but when you have this many reports um in an uptick, it it just uh was a cause of concern.

So um I'd be uh amenable to given those circumstances approval with a warning letter.

Okay, thank you.

We are in committee, so they have to go with a warning letter.

Motion Bargellas is approval with the warning letter.

Is there an amendment?

No, no.

No, no amendment.

Uh hearing seeing no objections, so ordered.

Okay, do you want to keep up?

Okay, do you like the call?

I should say, finish up the 13th.

Okay, I'll finish up 13.

Okay.

Alright, and next up on our 10 05 a.m.

Yes, so I'd like to say that at our business we always had a zero tolerance policy towards uh drug use or prostitution, human trafficking or any other illegal activity.

We would rather live with the lower level of business than taking any guests who engage in any kind of uh illegal activity.

Um, we also um all our managers are required to take human uh trafficking classes once a year.

In addition to that on our own, we also make our uh uh all our employees take the human trafficking class as part of their employee orientation um we we also have an open door policy with the Milwaukee police policy department to come in and access our camera systems any um this particular time that they said that um the cameras weren't working was that cameras were working is just that the people who were there at the time don't have access um to really to play the the footage back only the managers have access so I just want to clarify that and with that I turn it over to Pavino who who will address uh the individual um items thank you um so first of all like Patrick Prabhu mentioned uh travel outs Milwaukee we have a zero tolerance policy for prostitution or any kind of human trafficking as myself we are a manager and the gym and then we are required to take a human trafficking class every single year as well as our employees of front us and security staff has to take the human trafficking class as a part of the orientation and I would like to briefly explain what happened in um line one fourteen on line one fourteen the room was actually registered under Antonio Amos and Junior Amos had he had been on and off casting our property I haven't spoken to him a few times and he mentioned that he works in some factory.

And then sometimes he would say I'll pay for a room after I got up from the work.

So we were under the impression that he's just a regular working guy.

And then you and he was not involved in any kind of activity.

So when we CCAP him we do C Cap every single guest if they are local and then when we CAP him it did not indicate that he was involved in any kind of activities of this nature and how every and he does need room service when the housekeeper goes inside the room we don't see any woman inside his room besides himself and then also to our knowledge that he never checked in with any other woman either and also we were paid cash on a daily basis um we do Google their phone numbers if we find any like you know them in escort space or if anything illegal activities we didn't find him anything and if we if you do find somebody like that we ask them to leave immediately and if I may add he's been placed and they do not yes and also he arrived on July 17 we found out that he was in the situation and we asked him to leave right away and he was placed in a DNR which means do not rent list.

He's out durant rent list forever has that information been conveyed to MPD they probably have a specific unit devoted to that um I mean connecting the individual who is apparently renting rooms for that service would be probably helpful in that so if you could kind of reach out independently to MPD to convey whatever information you have with regard to the individual the credit card number all the kind of surrounding information that only you possess um so conveying that to either a special um assigned unit in the district or uh a broader MPD um unit would be helpful thank you.

Okay.

May I may I add a few words.

Yes excuse me um obviously we we take all calls seriously um we recognize the number of calls um but in reviewing um a majority the calls and as we kind of went through them it's probably um 20 or 75% or so of the calls um were you know either um baseless found to be baseless um person that found when they arrived um calls placed by the hotel staff for assistance um there were a few um that we did want to address um and that was um item one fourteen um I also wanted to make note of um 109 um which was an overdose um the um occupants had narcan so unfortunately it was not something that the hotel staff had detected um but one to note um that they do have a no drug policy um that they do just for safety purposes have Narchan at the front desk um the managers are trained to use it um but again, everybody's run through CCAP, phone numbers checked um to try to prevent those instances um another item was one fifteen um and that was an individual um whose um purse um car key cell phone um was removed from the hotel room.

She failed to lock the patio door.

And unfortunately, someone gained access through that door.

And another um was uh 132, which was a theft complaint, and the theft did not actually occur at the hotel.

Um they did meet at the hotel, but um the um the the criminal, if you will took um the victim to a gas station, and and that is where um it appears um that the theft occurred.

So wanted to just note also that um a security is on staff as is on site.

Um generally um 7 p.m.

until 4 a.m.

Um they are looking at possibly extending um security um for a couple hours in the morning.

Um but after things slow down around 3 a.m.

security does walk through the entire hotel um to determine you know if there are any disturbances or anything that might need to be addressed, okay.

Thank you.

Um does the committee have any questions about the police report on number electrons?

Thank you, madam chair.

Um item one fourteen, your testimony, ma'am, conflicts with what's written in the police report.

So I'm looking at page 38 of the attachment.

Video was observed at the time of the report, but due to technical difficulties, only the lobby camera was able to be viewed and could not be recovered.

Uh the manager of the location identified as Robert James stated that he would review camera footage when the system was fixed and contact me at a later time.

Yeah, so we did review the cameras and we did not.

So the testimony that you provided was there was no manager available at the time the police were there.

At the time when this happened, but they since I live there, they notify me.

Um and then I can get up and go on to the uh secure location and observe the camera.

So why weren't police given the footage when they asked for it?

Well, they come into the office with me and look at the footage.

What was observed was just the lobby camera, nothing else worked.

No, all the cameras should work, all the uh hallway cameras were.

Would you like to look at page 38?

Look at the police report.

So do you know specifically that was page two of three um report for case number ending in 911027?

Yeah.

Um, you know, the cameras worked, they didn't work.

Right, and the police report tells us, tells me that the cameras didn't work.

You told me that only managers have access and uh the manager would provide access later.

The police department reported in their report that the cameras were not working and they could not see anything other than the front lobby lobby camera.

That's a concern.

Yeah.

One, it's a concern that your cameras weren't working, and two that you told the committee that they were.

Okay, I'm sorry, could you please confirm you said which case number ending 911027?

Right.

Um, bottom of page two.

That is a maybe we're talking about different items.

Were you talking about one fourteen?

I think it's one fifteen, isn't it?

That's the item on September 11th, 2025.

115, okay.

15.

115.

Okay.

I just want to make sure we're consistent.

There's a lot in that police report.

Yeah, we have to hear that.

Is it because we have two monitors?

We have two monitors, one in the one in the lobby by the front desk, and and we also have uh another monitor by the system inside the office.

So sometimes we have uh difficulty with all the cameras displaying in the in the monitor that is at the front desk, but that is um not the can not the monitor where we we will view the playback and when we go into the back office with the so given the number of calls for service to the police department, do you think it's important that your camera system works?

Do you think that it's important to repair your camera system so that you don't have delays when the police department is asking for footage?

We we restrict the access to the play back system is functioning.

Is it important to you that your that your business's camera function works?

Yes, all the time.

So you so it is very important.

What is the last time that you've repaired your camera system so that it does work?

You have hundreds of calls for service, and cameras that don't work.

So when have you taken the initiative to make sure your security system works?

Because MPD can't do anything with their own cameras that work.

I agree.

Um our camera system that we have is an analog camera system, and we we understand that it is outdated, and we are currently updating it to a uh internet protocol camera system, and we we're just we just ordered the camera system, so we are in the process of updating it, and it'll be updated within within the next 30 days or so.

How many cameras did you order?

Thirty-two cameras, thirty-two cameras, and they'll be in place when on what date?

It'll be it'll be arriving within 30 days, and within 60 days, I'll make a commitment.

It'll be working.

I personally don't feel comfortable having you in operation until your cameras work.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you.

Any other questions from committee about the police report?

Uh Ottoman Spiker, any questions about the police report?

Um, yeah, with regard to the security on site, is that part of the plan of operation that there's security there from 7 pm to 4 a.m.?

Nothing specific.

There's mention of security, but nothing else.

Okay, um, do you have enough um surety that there's that need that you'd be willing to put hours for security on the plan of operation so that we have something pinned down?

So we have no objection to that.

Okay, yeah.

So current currently it is um 7 pm to 4 a.m.

I would also like to note throughout the year, um, there are 25 calls noted, only one of which indicated they could not find camera or that there was one camera that was not working.

There are multiple cameras, the lobby was working, um, as you can see in many of the others.

They say they check secure security footage and please indicate that the employees were cooperative in doing so.

One of 32 cameras were working, uh I I don't think that's what it said.

I guess this report says that only the lobby camera was working.

Or is that is that I don't know if that's only the lobby as far as what needed to be viewed in a certain area because having you know viewing parking lot maybe wasn't useful.

So I guess I would want further information from the police department on that.

I hear you and I recognize what you're saying, but I do think that they have security footage.

They have been cooperative of all of the calls.

One indicated it wasn't working, that not all cameras were working at that time.

They've taken action to improve that.

Well, they've they've ordered something that there's no action yet.

Ordering, I believe, is action.

They've purchased nothing's been installed, nothing's working, but they purchased it.

That is action.

It's a step towards action.

I think it's action, but I I we hear what you're saying.

Um but I think that the operation is that camera malfunction was 10 months ago, and now that now they're starting to take action.

I understand, but again, out of all of the calls, only one instance.

Autumn Specker, did you have any further questions about the police report?

Uh yeah, so back to my question about security.

So would you be willing to have that in the plan of operation that if security on site from at least 7 p.m.

to 4 a.m.

and with the understanding that you're thinking about expanding it more, but that would be at least what you would be committed to with that.

So you're willing to add that to a plan of operation.

Yeah, we have no problem.

Um adding that to the plan of operation.

Should we make the motion?

Okay, so motion by Armand Jackson is to amend the plan of operation to reflect that security is on site from 7 pm to 4 a.m.

daily.

Um thank you.

And I know there were a fair number of calls for service.

This hotel deals with a fairly economically challenged group of clientele.

Um this hotel had big issues years ago, um, before Mr.

Castorungian took it over.

Um they still have challenges.

Uh both Pabina and Robert have been long time um site managers.

Um I did uh I think it was focused on, but one fourteen stuck out to me.

We hadn't had issues um like that rising to um with potential sex trafficking, prostitution, um, so just want to make sure we had items in place to make sure to address that.

I believe the applicants spoke to that, though.

Um, but that was the item of of greatest concern to me.

Um given that there's on site security, um, the cash payment just to review you allow cash payment, but you require a deposit with that $100 cash deposit.

$100 deposit, okay.

So you can't just walk in, pay for that day and be done.

You have to at least have a deposit.

And staff is trained, um, general manager and and folks are trained with respect to human trafficking to know the signs to look out for there.

Do you have any um signage or anything in a bathroom within the hotel rooms indicating you know who to call if you are being sexually trafficked?

Is that anything that you've looked into in the past?

We do uh we don't have that sign.

We haven't.

Sorry, go ahead.

We we don't have that signage.

We we'd be happy to uh install signage that that says to contact uh how to get out if if they are in fact traffic.

Right.

I've seen that at hotels in various cities over time, and that might be a helpful thing to have.

Um that's all my questions for now.

Thank you, madam chair.

Thank you.

Are there any neighbors present who wish to testify?

Let the record reflect that there are no neighbors present and wish to testify against us in the 13th Automatic District Honor and Spiker.

Uh thank you, Madam Chair.

Yeah, uh a bunch, even though there were quite a few calls on the police report, as the attorney mentioned, attorney would mention there were quite a number that were found to be baseless.

It doesn't seem like they're using the police as their security service they have on site security and again are dealing with the challenged population.

Um, but the the sex trafficking or prostitution was very disturbing to me.

Um, but I think that's been um spoken to, so I have no objection to renewal with a warning letter given the testimony that was provided to me.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Um, I recorded Arguments.

Question for licensing.

What's the previous disciplinary record?

They got a warning letter.

When uh 2025 and 2024 and 2023, how far back do you want to go?

Uh since I was Alderman, I think there was one year that so I became alderman in 2019.

I can't remember if it was 20 or 21.

There was a suspension that we ended up, I think rolling back after we had an on-site meeting and some pretty dramatic changes.

That's that's my recollection.

Yep, that's correct.

They've had uh so in 2027 they got a warning letter in 2020 they got a warning letter in 2021 it was a suspension, and then it was overturned to a warning letter on the council floor.

Uh in 2022, it was a warning letter, 2023 it was a warning letter, 2024 20 and 2025 a warning letter.

All right, thank you for that.

I'd like to go back and ask some follow-up questions given the history of disciplinary actions from the committee.

Um, you mentioned uh I think we heard three times that all staff managers are trained for sexual for sex trafficking.

Um what kind of best practices does your do your sta does your staff use to help identify that?

Uh we heard recent or we heard a couple moments ago that you don't have anything posted in restrooms, which is one of the basic sex trafficking best practices.

And you've you've had disciplinary action most out of the last five years.

What are you proactively doing to protect your customers?

Do you want to explain the annual training and the new employee training?

Well a training is one thing but what are you actually doing in your establishment?

I can I can answer that.

Um so we from to begin with we have a policy that anybody under the A team will not be allowed into the hotel unless they're accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

And that's uh that's number one and then we we look for signs of uh of anybody if if we we take the IDs of every adult who's staying in the room so if somebody is coming in and checking in with somebody we we both their IDs and we keep it on record for ourselves as well as the police department.

Um and then we also watch for uh traffic in the room so our housekeeping staff are trained so that if they see people going in and out of a room then right away we ask them to check out so these are uh some of the practices that we do in addition to that we also have Google phone numbers so you when we catch somebody usually I mean can you um tell tell the committee that how you do that sure so what happens when we don't Google the we ask their phone numbers we do Google their phone numbers.

When you Google it it pops up right if they are on escorts page or they can't you know I'm sorry on what?

If they're an escort page or anything like that.

It pops yeah it pops up right and we ask them to leave immediately.

And so and you you've caught it and we also see them I guess.

We call people like that.

I'm sorry how many in the last year.

Um at the committee's I guess large S.

We could waive that requirement, but for future reference, um, an in-state attorney with license in Wisconsin.

Um is required generally speaking.

Um I think by vote of this committee, we can take representation.

Um, understanding that a duly licensed attorney in any state likely has at least some of the same ethical obligations.

But because you are not barred by the state of Wisconsin, there is an open question as to your representation here.

Um again, the committee can vote to hear from this council.

Understood.

Um Aldi does have local counsel in Wisconsin.

They are not present today.

Um if needed, we can get them on a future meeting and understood that any future meetings would have council licensed in Wisconsin uh present.

All right, the body can vote as to take this um council's uh I guess waiving a certain requirement as to in-state licensure um appearance before this body again is appearance before a quasi judicial administrative body, so it is at I mean we're being loose, very loose with these rules, but they are your rules.

Okay, so uh I'll oppose it to the committee.

What is your will?

Do we um call it?

Yeah, I would phrase it as an affirmative or negative, so I'll make the motion to um with the expectation that this not happen in the future um with Aldi and and any other um applicants.

Thank you.

Would the applicant like to speak to the items on the police report?

Would I like to say something about them?

Um two of the complaints uh that were uh found to be baseless by the police officers were made by um young people uh I I would like to know if um there was follow-up from the police department to um because I feel like um um just calling false, making false um statements to police um should not be stood for.

Um, so that was two of the complaints.

Uh the police did acknowledge that that they were baseless, but I don't know if there was any penalty for this the behavior.

So that's all I have to say about two of them.

Um there was uh incident where a person passed away.

Um I don't know what to say about that.

Um they were in my establishment for 12 minutes and um, it's my understanding suffered from an acute uh respiratory incident uh and had a long-term acute asthma, and um I don't know if drug use was no drugs were consumed in my establishment.

Um, but um yeah, I Narcan was provided and I was there um within four minutes, but it was that was too late.

Okay.

Does the committee have any questions about the police report?

I'm sure.

Uh, number Dallas.

Um for the uh female who fell and looked unconscious.

Oh, she admitted to fall to overconsumption of alcohol.

Um that happened right at the end of the night at 2 03.

That's correct in the morning.

Um, how are your bartenders surf safety trained or uh do you serve people who are visually intoxicated?

My bartenders are certified um in in the yeah, responsible drinking.

Um I was also there for that incident.

Uh the person um had recently restarted taking their psychiatric medicine, and um um I believe mixing that with um large amounts of alcohol led to them um the reduced capacity.

Uh they ended up walking away after some time, water and um she vomited on me.

Um, but yeah, they are trained in that.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Uh our woman calls any questions about the police report.

What happened to the bartender that overserved her?

Um I did not uh punish the bartender that overserved her.

I honestly, in that particular incident with the young woman.

Um I don't I don't think they were overserved at my establishment, but I'm just being honest.

Um but yeah, I did not punish the bartender in that particular case.

Question for the police.

Is there anything in the report that indicates where the overserving likely occurred?

So negative, there's no indication on that.

Is there any indication that that particular patron had attended any other uh alcohol serving institution that even?

Uh no, too?

All right, um, also for the police, uh, for the patron that passed away.

Was it uh believed to be respiratory issues or overdose or what?

Do does the report say what police believed the patron ended up dying from it is that indicated and they did not follow up with them at Emmy's office to see what the cause of death was.

All right, thank you.

That's all I'm sure.

Thank you.

Um, are there any neighbors present who wish to testify?

Let the record collect there are no neighbors present who wish to testify.

Again, this is in the sixth automatic district, Auto Woman Cox.

Uh thank you.

Uh Madam Chair, you know, with no neighbors uh being present and uh a few of the items being um unfounded.

I would I do have some concern about the over serving, but um, but it's not a hundred a lot of the stuff is not a hundred percent clear.

So I would just ask that uh I have no objection to a renewal.

I would just ask that it'd be a renewal with a warning um letter.

And to the honor, I would just say I would truly train watch and make sure that your staff is not overserving folks.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Uh we are in committee.

Did you have something?

Okay.

Motion by author of persons and repa is approval with a warning letter.

Good morning, Council.

Attorney Samantha Baker appearing on behalf of the applicant.

Okay.

Are you a receipt of notice of today's meeting with the possibility that your application may be denied?

Yes.

Please state your name and address for the record.

Ms.

Lopez on any holds.

Sergeant Corneho, is there a police report?

There are no police reports.

Uh this is a new business, I believe.

Uh can you tell us about your planning and your experience for the business?

Yeah, absolutely.

Um, so this building uh was a vacant building for a while.

Um my client has purchased it and they are in the process of renovating it.

Um renovations are almost completed.

They're hoping that things will be wrapped up by the end of August, if not earlier, um, and hoping to get license approval and then move forward with occupancy once that happens.

Um, the uh applicant has uh extensive experience um in the city of Milwaukee operating similar establishments, gas stations, and convenience stores, um, particularly uh 35th Street, um, and then is also looking to open up a couple of other gas stations at at this time as well.

Okay.

Uh does the committee have any questions about the plan experience with business?

Otherwise, any questions?

No.

Okay.

Are there any neighbors present who wish to testify?

We have one.

Um, you can just come up to this standing mic, please.

Thank you.

You'll be given two and a half minutes to testify.

State your name and address first, and then you'll go right into your testimony.

Hi, uh, my name is Ian O'Connor.

Oh, sorry, I'm sorry.

I raise your right hand to be sworn in.

I'm sorry, into your testimony.

Is it true to hold good and if you want to truth, yes.

Thank you.

And you can say your name and address and then your testimony.

My name is Ian O'Connor.

I live at 3120 North Holton.

This is directly across the street from the gas station in question.

I have some safety and sanitation concerns regarding uh them being open 24 hours over the last year.

There's no gunshots in the alleyway, some other issues.

So I think operating a 24-hour business at this location is not a very smart idea.

Um I advise they potentially close at 9.

Okay.

Alright, just stay there for questions.

Are there any questions from committee for this witness?

I'm sure.

Oh Otterman Brower.

No, thank you so much.

So um the I would be curious about you could describe more of the issues that you have with cleanliness and if there's anything that the applicant could commit to today that you know that could ameliorate that given their proposal, um, or if that just um I guess because I you were saying have them close at nine rather than being open twenty four hours.

So what um where would can you go more in depth with the cleanless issues and then also like what if there if any steps they could take that could allow them to be open 24 hours and solve the cleanish issues.

Uh yeah, there's um a lot of litter that happens in the area.

Um there's a bus stop right uh in front of this gas station as well.

Um debris is constantly not cleaned up in the area, so um, if could there could be some uh actions taken on that front, I think it would really help uh the neighborhood at large.

Uh any other questions from committee for this witness?

Any questions from uh Ottawa McCoggs for this witness?

Not for the witness, but I do want to hear from the applicant what their cleaning plan is.

Okay, any questions from the applicant for this witness?

No, thank you.

Thank you.

All right.

All right.

And then if you can't say me like this question, I mean, all right.

So I'll let you um Ottawa McCox had a question about your cleaning plan and what's the.

Yes, absolutely.

Um, so um, just to also address the witnesses' concerns and then also regarding the alder woman's concerns, um, I do think that those are very valid concerns for um for a gas for any gas station.

Um, but at this point, you know, the building is still in construction, and once the building is completed, there will be security cameras outside, lighting and things of that nature.

Um, my client's other property that he does have on the North 35th Street.

Um, they uh you know neighbors around there also have very similar concerns, and they have done a really good job of making sure that there's lighting, you know, all around the building, cameras, um, of participating in fuses and things of that nature.

So, again, try to do everything that they can to make sure that the property is um maintained in a clean manner and maintained in a manner where it's not inviting, you know, suspicious behavior or criminal behavior.

Um as far as cleaning, um staff is going to be uh trained to make sure that they're walking the premises every two hours um during, you know, uh I would say, you know, um regular business hours uh from like 9 a.m.

to 8 p.m.

and then overnight they would be um you know um looking at the premises uh when they're leaving their shifts.

Okay, madam chair.

Ms.

Logan.

Uh Ottawa McCog's uh licensing was just chime in one second.

I'm sorry, go ahead.

I was checking um the solar system, they have an application on file for occupancy, and there's also uh BOSA appeal in process.

So there should be a bozo hold on this application, and there's not.

Thank you.

I do want to talk to License and offline about how I haven's having that scheduled things.

But we should be holding.

I would just I would just ask that you all hold this thing.

Okay.

Yeah.

Move to hold.

Motion by Otto President Rebe is to hold hearing and saying no objections, so ordered for the boat.

For the both of us for the boat.

For the neighbor that's there, um, I know that it might be other neighbors that had a 24-hour concern as well.

Um the applicant is willing to have a neighborhood meeting, and my office is currently trying to uh schedule one.

So we will be trying to um get a neighborhood meeting together before it comes back up um to hear from more neighbors, and so that you all can hear from the applicant um as well.

Thank you.

Okay, thank you, Otto McCoggs.

Thank you.

Next up on our 10 35 a.m.

Um and it's also interesting to note that all of these really except for the January uh one took place in the summertime.

Um I also would like to add that um if you look at your ebook um you'll notice that um his license has been renewed for the last five years without any issues.

We've been in touch with the old woman's office, which I always encourage my clients to do before hearing, and I'm not gonna you know put words into the other woman's mouth.

She can she can do that.

Um, but I I I think that we we would request that it be renewed.

Okay.

Does the committee have any questions about the police report?

Uh Ottawa McCoggs, any questions about the police report?

Yeah, uh for this is for the applicant um as the attorney stated there really hadn't been issues at this location before so I'm wondering like what what do you think was different last summer?

Um so Alderwoman I'm I'm looking at um the ebook when it says a license was granted with no issues in the past five years does that mean it wasn't before the committee the last five years not necessarily right so there could have been other issues in the past that were on the police report um but there were no issues caused by my my client I I get I guess I'm trying to understand is was they like new employees had he retrained them to call the police more so now stuff is showing up as PA 33 I'm just wondering or was something going on in the neighborhood you hear what I'm saying for those incidents to be here in the previous years that were not right like that nature.

I know that we've you know we train the employees the new ones as they come in we've always encouraged our employees to contact the police um you know a lot of a lot of license holders are reluctant to call the police because they know that it'll be a P 33 on their license um renewal um but I I don't know do you know have any reason what was going on in the neighborhood last summer that would have caused um the issues no we don't have any I can check with MPD and see if I can get you know if there are other issues in the neighborhood that have that occurred last summer Alderwoman.

Yeah as we as we uh enter this summer I'm just I was just wondering that because I would hope that it goes back to what it was the previous five years that you don't have as many um times that it's even a need to um engage the police but um that's all the question I have madam chair of the police report thank you okay go ahead uh alder woman I I do note that it's almost July first and there haven't been any issues this summer so far oh uh are there any neighbors present who wish to testify don't realize that I don't think so let the record reflect that there are no neighbors present who wish to testify um again this is in the sixth automatic district auto woman cogs thank you with no neighbors um here to testify I would um I would uh I have no objection to renewal we are in committee I'll wave my right to a closing yeah figure um we are in committees committee have a motion move approval motion by orderman jackson is approval did she say what a warning okay uh hearing and seeing no objection so ordered thank you very much I missed it this is the last one next up on our 1040 a.m agenda Rana F.
