We are in the 14th Aldermanic district.

Terry Williams from Alderwoman Dimitrievich's office.

Yeah, hi.

We appreciated the opportunity to discuss the application with the applicant.

This was uh um, I think it was Nick's Anvil Inn, which is like a long time, very quiet bar.

I think his concept is uh is promising, so we we uh have no objections and we wish them the best.

Yes.

Thank you.

I'm here.

Okay, great.

Okay, will you two raise your right hand and we'll get you sworn in?

Do you songly from the independent penalties of burger of the state of Wisconsin that the testimony about to give is it true, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right.

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

Yes.

Okay.

And you are Emanuel, about that?

Yes.

Okay, thank you.

Okay.

Will you each state your name and address for the record?

My name is Immanuel Flores.

My address is 2207 West Sombre Court, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53215.

Thank you.

My name is Carla Flores, and my address is 2207 West Sunbury Cold, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53215.

Thank you.

All right, Ms.

Lopez.

Are there any holds?

No holds.

Okay, Sergeant Cornejo, is there a police report?

No, no police reports.

Okay, thank you.

Um, yes, I believe this was scheduled for an objection.

Um, so didn't one uh Terry, do you want to jump in here?

I will need a refresher.

This is a district eight application.

That's are they operate?

Yeah, are they operating in our district?

That's correct.

Got it.

Hang on one moment.

Oh that was why it got scheduled.

We have objections in here.

I see emails from Marina or from the office anyway.

Yes, this is one I believe.

Um hang on a second.

It looks like actually the health department might have more on this objection.

But um they this is one that parks across the street from Zellman Park.

And I believe that we got an objection relating to all of the food trucks there and the noise, and Street Munchies was one of those.

So we were um interested to see what measures were being taken to reduce the noise and also the bright lights at that location.

Yeah, and and I don't think for the record, I do not believe health department has an objection.

It looks like it was parking enforcement.

Yes, they you got um you guys park on Kanikinik, correct?

Um and so yes, there are complaints, I believe, from constituents going into Alderwoman Dmitrievich's office um around parking there all day.

Is that correct, Terry?

Yes, that was the objection that we received.

That the truck was not moving and that it was supposed to be on the street and the trucks are supposed to move throughout the day.

Okay.

All right.

And uh it looks like you you guys have received citations around the parking violations?

No, no.

I see from parking enforcement we have issued eight time zone citations on Kinectonneck between June 1st and today.

You never received a citation for parking?

No, the way that that's phrased, it could be any number of trucks, but I know there's multiple trucks that park there.

A lot of cars parked there, so it's not necessarily be us.

I'll read all the emails, the people saying, and I don't understand, but they think we don't move, but we move less than two hours.

So I understand why they think, but it's not the right because if we was like a dim thing, we got a lot of citation or jump the car or the trucks or whatever.

Uh towings, you know, then it's not right.

Okay.

Let me just see.

Are there any neighbors present that wish to testify in this item today?

Street munchies, food truck.

Okay.

So let the ref record reflect there are no neighbors present to testify, but there are objections in the file.

Um you have not received any citations for parking over the two-hour limit, but you're aware that there have been some complaints, but you feel you're move you are moving.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You said you are moving.

Okay.

Um, all right.

Just want to give it back to Alderwoman Dmitrievich's office.

Terry, do you want to weigh in here?

It looks like this truck in particular did not uh apparently didn't receive any of the citations.

Maybe they went to another truck or truck.

Right.

I mean, I mean, people can make um complaints about things.

This was a blanket complaint.

If if the um if a nuisance wasn't verified, we have no objection.

Yeah.

Um, all right.

Yep, just one.

I just want to note we did have an individual reach out to us in objection, but as I have called for, I have called for neighbors.

Again, if anybody's here on this item, let us know.

Um, but with that, I'm gonna give it to Alderman Bergellis.

Um thank you, Madam Chair.

Do you have bright lights outside of your truck?

We use uh regular lights for is supposed to have for use uh on winner.

I didn't I didn't ask about the bright light, or about the regular lights.

Normal lights.

Normal lights.

Are there other food trucks that are in the same block that have very bright lights that can be disruptive to the neighborhood?

My opinion is uh normal light too, because uh the food truck needs to have light because night or winter after 4 p.m.

is night.

You know what I'm saying?

And it's not uh something disturbing or your okay the visibility are your lights um shining into the street or onto the sidewalk where you're gonna doing business?

No, no, it's uh on the sidewalk.

Just on the sidewalk.

Yeah, you don't have lights on the street.

Yes, but it's too um down to my truck.

Okay.

The logo is uh Okay.

Has has uh Mowaki have Milwaukee police has the Milwaukee police department stopped and said your lights are too bright for the street?

No.

They haven't stopped.

Okay.

Um have you uh do you have a generator on your food truck?

Yes.

Does your generator violate city ordinances for noise violations after 10 p.m.?

No.

Have you ever been cited for is enclosed on the books?

And have you ever been cited by the police department for noise violation?

No.

Okay.

All right, thank you, Madrid.

Okay.

Um I know you said you do move the truck every two hours.

Do you where do you move?

Do you move it still you stay on KK still?

You just move it up a little or something.

But we moved forward, the two cars, and after two hours, we'll move back again, more than 20%.

And they go, they go and take the time.

Yes, and we won't five uh fine parking because anybody have uh parking on the public street, and sometimes we wait more than three hours for half a parking.

So normally the people put uh some hour on the license, but we can't stay in this time because it's uh recurrence vehicles on the area.

It's a commercial area, and nobody have um uh secure uh space parking.

Right.

And I understand the people um make uh a claim because it's uh some people owners or the others uh business in the area in nobody have up private parking.

Is the first phrase reason they want we move to the area because they have a business to and it's not comfort to for them.

We stay in the area, and I don't understand, but we pay taxes, we pay license, same damn.

You know what I'm saying?

It's uh business conflict.

Yes.

All right.

Well, I know it is getting hectic over there on KK.

There's multiple food trucks, and there's a lot of restaurants.

Don't forget there's a 50-foot rule.

But um, with that, it sounds like the Alder Woman um the Alder Woman's office doesn't have any further objection as the none of the neighbors showed up.

Is that right, Terry?

Yes, that's correct.

We just pause these to allow neighbors who wish to speak on the issue to speak and also to if the if uh complaint was verified to discuss it.

However, this complaint was not verified, and I don't see any neighbors here.

Okay, very good.

Well, with that, does the committee have a motion?

Um Alderman DeAndre Jackson move for approval.

Any discussion on that motion?

Any objection?

Hearing unso ordered.

Very good.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good luck to you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right, we will move on now to our 910 a.m.

Good morning, Mr.

Van House.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I'll just let yes.

As soon as you're ready, Alderman Sticker, if the two of you will raise your right hand, we'll get you sworn in.

Do you sound like frame on the dependency penalties of purview of the state of Wisconsin that the testimony about to give is it true the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Yes.

Thank you.

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

Uh Timothy Van House, uh W 5352 Bow Lane, Fondal Act, Wisconsin.

Thank you.

All right, Miss Lopez, are there any holds?

No holds.

Sergeant Cornejo is there a police report?

On 3525 at 1032 a.m.

Milwaukee police conducted a follow-up to provide the business with the city ordinance and good practice and good business practices.

The officer later conducted a check of the risk prop and discovered 1646 logged items without photos of the item of the clients.

The agent stated they can they scanned the item and photo ID.

The officer explained all the transactions in the risk prop were uploaded.

However, no ID or photo was attached.

The agent stated they would reach out to tech support and find out why the IDs were not uploading.

Walkie police were dispatched to a property return.

The business call regarding a subject who was retrieving stolen property that was sold to the store by the subject's son.

On 416 at 1208 p.m.

Walkie police conducted follow-up regarding stolen property.

The business had purchased the business stated it uh it is standard practice to scan IDs upon purchase.

Very good.

Would you like to speak to the police report, sir?

Yeah.

Um so everything is is scanned.

Um we showed the officer when he came in.

We uh we scan everything.

I think it's on your RIS department's end because when we talked to the state risk department, they showed that they said everything was fine, everything's been uploaded, everything's good to go.

Um we do so our corporate is in new it's in uh North Carolina uh and and they're on top of this stuff.

You know, they contacted the RIS department and uh the state RIS department and had they had no issues with our items being uploaded.

We have three stores, and and we've never had an issue with photos not being uploaded.

Um not only that, but um uh I I think we've had between the three stores, West Dallas Brookfield and Milwaukee, uh we've had six police interactions in three three and a half almost four years now.

Um so um yeah, and and again, we can look into again.

Um we can communicate with the police tomorrow if they want to if they want to reach out to us um and and and and figure out where the laps is between them not seeing the photos, but the state seeing is seeing the photos, um, because you know we've done all we can on that.

Um we've we scan everything and and then um we show the officer the camera.

So there's a camera on each register, and and as soon as the item is purchased, a photo's taken and it's uploaded immediately.

Okay, thank you.

Questions from committee members on the police report?

I'm sure.

Alderman Bergellis.

So from the March 5th, 2025 incident, were those did those items have documentation attached or was that.

Yeah, absolutely.

So you you just were in weren't able to um uh pull them up right away, but tech support helped.

No, we can uh we've been very supportive of the police department.

As a matter of fact, we've been um uh not only do we provide them with the customer's name, address, we provide them with uh uh plenty of video footage.

We have cameras all over operating cameras.

I think he's asking about this specific yeah, the specific time there were sixteen hundred forty-six logged items without photos of the item or the client.

Yeah, we were able to pull up the photos anytime.

Anytime he wants to come in and see the photos, we can we we can provide the photos with them.

Right.

So the police report from March 2025 reads that there are sixteen hundred items that did not have photos.

Yeah, I'm saying that's inaccurate.

The state says they are photos there.

The the city is saying the photos aren't there, but the state is saying the photos are there.

We looked into it as soon as they came in and said that.

It's not the first time they've said that.

We've told them, listen, the state's telling us they are being uploaded.

I don't know why the city can't access them, but the state can the state has fully said that we complied and that the photos are being uploaded.

Um so I I don't know where the where the disconnect is there.

Um, but we certainly can work with the city and and then work with the state and see where the disconnect is.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, I just it's just an interesting it's not the city, it's MPD and MPD officer went out there and could not see that the physical photos.

Was it a technical issue?

Do you think?

Like a technology issue?

When he says he can't, when he says he I personally wasn't there.

So um when he says that he can't see the photos.

Um, I I don't think he's referring to coming in the store and looking at the photos in our system.

Oh, you think that you guys sent him a file and he can't?

No, I think I think that he's not seeing them on the RIS system.

Uh but that but the state is saying that they that there's been no issue with the photos in the uploaded.

Okay.

And our system shows that they've been uploaded.

So every every day we get a report.

Um and we and then and an officer can come in and we can we'll we'd be happy to show them that report.

It it actually gives us a report in our POS system if something hasn't been uploaded, and uh it basically a red alarm goes off in the system to saying, hey, this picture needs to be taken and uploaded.

Uh and we can show that to the police department any time they come in.

All right.

And I'd be happy to I I would be happy to be there if if if need be.

Okay.

That's good.

Thank you.

Sure.

Uh Alderman Spiker, do you have any questions on the police report?

Uh a couple.

Uh, I guess for the licensed investigation unit.

Um, I know Officer Felix is with that unit.

Has Officer Felix or anybody else been back to the property to make sure that things are uploading to the city system and to ensure there's no IT problem there?

Actually, Officer Felix is the one that I believe we've been working with the whole time, and he's and he said he's the one I believe that said there was no issue with the uploads.

Okay, let's let uh MPD weigh in.

Give me a second, we uh check with Officer Felix.

I know they're watching online.

Uh give me a minute I'll wait for a response on that.

Okay.

Okay.

Any follow-up questions, Alderman Spiker?

Yeah, so we we're talking about photos, but I think under the ordinance there's three types of photos that need to be taken.

So photo of the client's ID, photo of the item, and then we also need some sort of photographic evidence of the clients, him or herself.

Yes, we understand.

Yes, we do all that.

We have a photo ID scanner.

Um not not just uh customers that sell us an item.

We require every customer to provide a photo ID, whether we make a deal or not make a deal, and we scan it.

We have a scanner.

So it scans right into our system.

Client themselves, it says in the P33 that uh Mario, the manager, and a second employee stated they weren't taking photos of clients themselves.

Um so do you rely on the security footage to basically give you that photographic evidence?

And does that that isn't automatically upload a photo into the system though, does it?

No, it doesn't it doesn't automatically um up um upload a photo, but we were we were told that the video footage was w was compliant.

Is there any reason you don't take photos of the clients?

Is that difficult?

I mean I guess if I were coming in.

The the logistics of it would be it's it's it's uh we we we would have to do yeah, I'm not even sure how we would be able to do that.

Um and when we set this all up, we we asked them what you know was the video footage because we hold the video footage for 30 uh I think it's 32 days.

Um and and the the police and interaction that we have had we have given the police department actual access to our our uh our data.

Um and then a sign up or anything and we also provide to the clients that they are being photographed, that they are their video is being recorded.

Um I know the city ordinance is supposed to be posted.

Do you have anything that says basically smile you're on camera so folks know?

No, no, we don't, but we could be able to put something like that into your plan of operation that you'd have signed.

Yeah, we could put we could put signage up saying that um yeah you're being videotaped.

I you know I want to say corporate actually came out with something like that.

So we could put something up, sir.

Okay.

There's seven cameras just in the lobby.

Yeah, and I I know the April 10th incident where this wasn't the one where merchandise was stolen by the son from the parent.

This was the one with I think Mark Cat involved.

Um is that an amendment that you two want to make to the application?

Uh it's for the sign.

What's the signage gonna what is the signage again that you're talking about?

He he just wants us to put up a uh put up a sign that says you're being photographed.

Okay.

Basically something that would let me be happy to do that.

That they're being filmed so that um they'd be a little more reluctant to try anything funny.

Okay, that's fine.

Do you want to do an amendment at the table to add that to your plan of operation that you will mount signage to the other side?

Yeah, because we're yeah, because we're adding a sign anyways for no hoodies and uh and no face masks, so we can we can add that with that.

Okay.

So we'll we can make an amendment here at the table.

I don't have a problem with that.

Per your request.

Sure.

All right.

Um Alderman Pratt, will you make that motion?

Okay, I don't know.

Alderman Pratt moves to amend the applicant's plan of operation to reflect um he will make sure to post signage that indicates um folks are being recorded slash photographed.

Sure, we'd be happy to do that.

All right, and hearing no objection to that motion, so ordered.

All right.

Anything further?

Um, if we're having trouble getting Officer Felix on the line, we could do some of this offline as well.

But at least there.

I'll get him online.

Okay, you're still he's still working on that.

And we can actually connect Officer Felix with our our corporate um uh in and and and they can work together.

He's worked with them before.

Okay, let's see.

Um let me just keep moving along here.

Are there any neighbors present that wish to testify in this item today?

There's L I U.

He's there.

Oh, here's okay.

But just to finish up my question, are there any neighbors present that wish to testify on this item today?

Okay, let the record reflect there are no neighbors present to testify, and it looks like Officer Felix is here with us virtually.

Good morning, Officer Felix.

Good morning, ma'am.

Um, I think we're gonna have you weigh in on all oh, I'm sorry, can you raise your right hand, officer, and we'll get you sworn in?

Yes.

Do you son of an independent penalty of burger of the state of Wisconsin that the testimony about to give is it through the hot truth and nothing but the truth?

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And will you introduce yourself?

Officer Felix Milwaukee Police Department uh licensed investigation unit.

Thank you.

And then Alderman Spiker, do you want to repeat your question for Officer Felix?

Um I just wanted to verify.

So uh the applicant stated that the um three types of photos involved, or at least two of the three are recorded in the state system, but that there might be an issue with our um risk prop system.

Do you know if that's been resolved if it was the case?

I wasn't aware they were having an issue with their system.

There has been uh since trance for files from the transferred from new pers to risk prop.

There have been a few places that have had issues.

Sometimes we're unable to see what's been uploaded.

And they're able to see it.

So there could be some type of problem, but I was not aware that they were having that issue.

Could you uh do return visit and see that things are being uploaded into the system?

And if there isn't, could you alert me so we could push it up the chain of command so we can get this resolved in our system can see what the state does?

Yes, Alderman, we can do that.

Okay, thanks.

All right, thank you.

Okay, with that, we are in the 13th Aldermanic District.

Alderman Spiker.

Um I think everything's been explained.

So I'm satisfied.

Very good.

Well, with that, we'll remember there's no neighbors present, so we're gonna we're ready to make a motion if that's okay, Alderman Spiker.

the cadet entered the business and purchase an alcoholic beverage from the clerk who did not check ID.

The clerk was advised of the violation.

A citation for sale of alcohol to underage was issued to the agent on 1229 25.

They were convicted and fined for 151 dollars.

Thank you.

Would you like to speak to the police report?

Pardon?

Yeah, we we we took care of that.

We paid we paid it, I understand.

And it was the that was probably our second one in probably since we we've opened the store in 2000, which since we bought the store in 2014.

Can you speak to the microphone?

Okay, that was our second one since we've bought the store since 2014.

So we've only had two in about 12 years of owning the store.

Okay.

And then last year with the police report, we shut down that same day as soon as they said it, we shut down that date.

And then when our license expired this past last Tuesday.

Shut down the store.

We haven't been in the store yet.

Okay.

So questions from committee members on the police report.

Madam Chair.

Yes.

Um I guess for the committee's edification as well as the applicants.

You can apply for a provisional so that you don't have those lapses.

So our intent is not to have you lapse.

Right.

Our intent is to perpetuate the license.

We're not in the business of closing businesses generally.

So we can perpetuate that if application.

I did apply for one.

I did apply for one when I did the renewal of the license.

I did apply for all that.

Great, yeah.

All at the same time.

And again, you can do that earlier as well.

So that there is no period of closure at all.

We want consistent opening and and closing times.

So and again, we definitely don't want to be in the business of closing people and having them reopen.

And it just makes it a little bit awkward for us.

Thank you.

Alderman Speicher, do you have questions on the police report?

Uh yeah, I have no problem with them closing for a time because every year they submit their license.

Every year, I mean I think there's been one or two years they haven't.

So it's a tremendous amount of work for this committee.

It's a tremendous amount of work for the license division to just not ever submit anything on time.

So I am a little frustrated with that.

Um it does there is we have the LIU go out there and there is a sign in the window indicating that they'll be opening tomorrow, which they can't if they don't have a provisional.

So the full council I think meets on the 31st, so you wouldn't be granted a license till the 31st at the earliest.

So I guess if you said you understood last time that when you didn't have a provisional, you needed to remain closed.

Do you understand now that without a provisional you wouldn't need to remain closed through the 31st?

Okay, go ahead.

Yes, but I I today said it was a meeting, so I figured I just put in a date just date, but I didn't we were not gonna open if we don't get a license, obviously.

You know, we will be open on 7226 is what you're saying.

So this committee makes a recommendation to the full council, it takes no separate action.

So the full council won't make a decision.

If the committee recommends approval, that won't actually come to pass till the 31st.

So that would be the soonest you'd be able to be open.

So we'll have to be closed till the July 31st.

Without a provisional, because you let your license expire, you have to wait until this passes full council, which is on July 31st.

Okay.

Assuming it passes today and on council day.

I can take that sign down, that's fine.

You just gotta do things in a more timely fashion.

Right, right.

It's just me doing it.

My dad's a little bit, you know.

Well, so tons of businesses I have in my district, they go through the same, but it's the repetitive of this this, and I have contacted you years in the past about it, and I just have stopped now.

And um I did have one question on the police report.

It does seem like there was a sale to a minor for the license investigation unit.

Isn't a PA 33 written when there's an attempt to sale by say um involving a police aid and they get turned away.

Wouldn't that also generate a report?

It should.

Yes.

So the fact that there's only been two fails in 11 years means might mean there's only been two attempts, and you're oh for two.

Um so there are stores I'm not saying yours are one of them that are a little lax with respect to sales with minors.

What was done in this case, it sounded like it was just eaten as the cost of doing business.

There was a fine paid, was any sort of change put into place so that this wouldn't happen again.

Well, we we have uh for an ID, it looks like we I we asked for I've watched for a lot of IDs over the years.

And then we also have a software.

Well in fact when we had the first ticket, we the police would send in random people and I'd be checking IDs all the time.

I still check IDs all the time, and uh we just got a new system where it has uh we can check the ID by your license.

An ID scanner?

Yeah.

Okay.

Did you get the scanner?

Uh like a few months ago.

Okay.

Because it wasn't incorporated with the POS system, now it is incorporated with the PO system.

Okay, that's good.

So was any sort of training taken with the the person who didn't scan the ID.

I mean, it was not a kid, it was somebody in their late 50s.

That would be me.

That that so you were the one that didn't check the ID?

I didn't, yes.

That was me.

Is there any sort of self-reflection you've done since that time to make sure you're checking IDs?

I would think this would be one on one.

I mean, I I always check IDs.

If I don't know my regular customers, I usually I try to check all the D's, you know, but I made a mistake that day at that time.

Yep, and it's a safety cadet, so this isn't uh somebody like my age coming in your store.

This is a young person where I would think if there's the rule has to be if there's even a sliver of doubt, you check the ID.

In fact, risk um pleasing your customer by thinking they're that young.

That's just I mean, they do that everywhere.

So um, yeah, it's just just I know I know uh Barat that you you run things, so you have to be the example for everybody else in in terms of making sure that you're checking IDs without fail.

All right.

Anything further, Alderman Specker?

Alder Member Gallis has a question.

No, that's all I have.

Thank you.

All right.

So the the new system that requires your ID scan was implemented after your underage sale when you sold alcohol to children.

Not to ch not to children, but a minor minor is a child.

A minor is a child.

Um but the the new technology that you implemented, you implemented that after your ticket?

After the ticket, yeah.

For selling alcohol to an underage child.

Okay.

Um does that require an ID scan for every purchase, or are you able to override that for your regulars, like you said?

It doesn't require for every customer.

I like I said, if there's a sliver of hope, I just scan it just to make sure.

But if my regular customers, you know, I know obviously which my regular customers every day come in, you know, but if somebody knew on the weekend, then I'll go ahead and use that to scan.

Do you have other employees that you train on how to use how check for ID?

It's just me and my dad at the store.

Um no one else ever helps out in the store?

No.

My concern is that if you don't have a a point of sale that requires a scan for every transaction, there's an opportunity for a mistake to happen again.

You said you've only had two mistakes in the ten years that you've been or 11 years that you've been open.

Uh and we want to keep it that way and ensure that there aren't mistakes in sales to children in the future.

Right.

Having a second offense is a is a is a problem.

And I think you've already um had some some punitive uh weight from the from the city by not getting a provisional license and you've been closed uh because of the paperwork mix-up.

Um but it's it's very difficult for me to support the renewal of a license when there's a repeated problem and the technology that you've implemented does not require a scan for every single sale.

I mean, I probably can set it up in the system to scan for every single Would you would you be willing to amend your plan of operation to require an ID scan for every alcohol and tobacco purchase?

Yes.

All right, madam chair, I'll amend the move to amend the plan of operation to require an ID scan for every tobacco and alcohol purchase.

Um Alderman, you wanted to make that do you want to make that amendment?

Okay.

Sorry.

He's gonna Okay.

Alderman Peter Bergellis moves to amend the plan of operation to indicate that the agent will ensure that the ID scanner is used for every single alcohol and tobacco purchase.

Correct?

Yes.

Um any uh any discussion on that motion?

Any objection?

Hearing on so ordered.

All right, thank you.

Thank you.

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

All right.

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

We are in the 13th Aldermanic District.

Alderman Spiker.

Yep.

Uh I guess I have one question for the city attorney.

If um the recommendation is to renew or renew with warning letter or what have you action isn't taken until the 31st, what if LIU goes in there and finds they're open between now and the 31st?

They could be cited, um, and that citation would then uh result again in a PA 33 on the next license renewal cycle.

So it wouldn't have an effect on the determination or recommendation of this committee.

Obviously, at any point, any committee member or council member can pull from an agenda.

So if new information comes to light that there is operation beyond or without licensure, um that might be grounds for such a poll.

Um again, new information uh material to the determination of this committee um can be used for any number of purposes, one of them being to pull it from an agenda.

Um and by doing so, it would then go back to committee for recommendation.

The PA 33 would be re-read with the new information, specifically a citation or indication that they had been operating without licensure.

Um and then that would again probably affect the determination and recommendation by this committee that would then um go to the common council.

And uh to specifically note the timeline as well.

That would also um include an August recess, um, so it would perpetuate a closure um for an extended period of time as they had to would then have to re-enter the cycle.

Right.

Okay.

And I guess for Sergeant Villas, or sorry Cornell, um whether uh the LIU could do a check between now and council just to make sure things are closed.

Yes, I can I've been coordinating with um I can't pronounce what that's name from district six uh with Anna.

So I'll be I'll be uh chatting with her a lot more.

Um but yeah, we can also do our part.

Okay, thank you.

Then Madam Chair, given that they you know been shut down a week and would be shut down another waiting for counsel, I'd be fine with renewal with a warning letter.

Um assuming they passed that check.

Okay.

So moved.

Isn't that a little bit more than a little bit?

All right.

Um Alderman Alex Brower.

Can you make the motion, Alex?

I'm sorry, are we doing that?

Yeah, I move to uh uh uh renew with a warning letter as amended.

Okay.

Uh Alderman uh with a warning letter, is that right?

Yep, renew with a warning letter as amended.

Alderman Alex Brower moves um to approve as amended with a warning letter.

Any discussion on that motion?

Any objection?

Hearing none so ordered.

All right, good luck to you.

Remember, you have to wait till council day when it passes full counsel, God willing.

On July 31st.

On July 31st.

Yes.

Okay, so we'll we'll be closed until then.

Okay.

You would have to have the license in hand and posted.

Uh council usually concludes in the afternoon.

You can either send a request to send the license via email or you can stop by the office to pick it up.

On the 31st.

On the 31st.

Okay.

Like at noon, right?

Flaviolo?

Yeah.

Noon.

So if I call that one and then I can just have them just email me.

Yep.

Is it true to the whole truth and a few more the truth?

Thank you.

And um will you each well you already introduced yourself, attorney?

Will you will you state your name and address for the record?

Sure.

Sarah Sewart, 2392 Keras Court, Grafton, Wisconsin.

Thank you.

All right.

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

Yes, we received a general general notice, that's correct.

Thank you.

Um Ms.

Welpis, are there any holds?

No holds.

Sergeant Cornejo, is there a police report?

On 111625 at 715 a.m.

an officer was dispatched to a trouble subject complaint.

Manager reported a subject refusing to leave the business upon arrival upon the officer's arrival, the subject left without incident.

On 1146 at 124 p.m.

An officer was dispatched to a trouble subject complaint.

The manager requested a subject refusing to leave be removed.

The subject did leave without incident upon officer's request on 125-26 at 5 45 p.m.

officers were dispatched to a battery complaint.

Employees reported for Jovenel is that enter the business and cause a disturbance on 217 26 at 6.06 p.m.

And officer was dispatched to a trouble of the subject complaint.

An employee requested a subject in the business refusing to leave be removed.

The subject complied with the officer's request and left without incident.

All right.

And would you like to speak to the police report?

I would just mention briefly that in every instance the uh employees have been cooperative.

Uh and oftentimes it's been uh reports from the employees because of trouble uh patrons that have been causing trouble.

So they've had a very good working relationship with the police department.

We're very appreciative of that.

Thank you.

Questions from committee members or the local elder on the police report?

Uh thank you, madam chair.

Uh the reason we scheduled this is and I've been to the location a number of times to uh watch the employees and kind of observe I've observed some um uh difficult situations that the I'll say that the employees handled with skill and professionalism uh even when uh they really uh could have escalated uh and I kind of sat back and watched.

Uh but they did an excellent job.

Uh and uh kudos to them.

The reasons I scheduled this though is because one of the police reports indicates that the uh video footage uh that was requested by the police department was not available.

Uh can you speak to the process on how uh uh camera footage could be or why it wasn't available that day?

Yeah, I'll I'll jump in here.

Uh Alderman, I appreciate your concerns.

Uh and after uh receiving the notice, we had uh meeting with uh the national staff to uh get a better understanding of the pr the procedures that are in place.

Uh the and it is correct that um in one of the police reports the officer reported that an employee was not able to provide the footage at the time of the investigation uh at the site.

Um it is the policy of Starbucks that they do not allow employee access at the site to the video footage.

Um it's part of a larger corporate policy.

Part of that, there's very good foundations for that.

Part of it is to maintain chain of custody so that if there is a need for an investigation, they have procedures in place that they can ensure that the videos have not been tampered with.

They do have and have had a procedure in place for making video accessible to the police.

Uh and it requires that someone um contact uh one of the asset managers and they have a sign posted, um, and I can pass this out, but they have a sign posted in the back of house instructing the employees as to what procedures should be followed.

In response to your concern, um, we did have a conversation and have instituted a change in the policy.

Um there is an individual to contact, but we the sign has been revised so that if video is urgently needed, um, they have a specific person to contact in the event that that person is not available.

Uh they also have available the telephone contact information for Starbucks Global Security.

And if that person is on vacation, uh then he his text message, voicemail, and email have an out-of-office reply with one of the alternative uh regional manager, asset managers to contact.

So it is a um they have stepped up the procedures to ensure that uh if there is an urgent need for the video that they have assurance that they will have someone responsive.

And then as well, uh Sarah is always available if there's a uh as a district manager to respond and react, and then she can reach within the organization to make sure that the attention is being given to whatever the needs are.

Appreciate it.

There was an incident a few years back, a couple years back uh in the neighborhood uh of a shooting that took place across the street.

The footage was not available immediately from the uh business, and that resulted in law enforcement delays that impacted public safety.

So any time I hear that or any time I read that there is a uh inability of law law enforcement to receive video upon request.

Uh sometimes it often doesn't need to be right now, uh, but when it does need to be right now, it needs to be right now, and there's a reason for it.

So I appreciate the um uh modifications on your internal procedures and um madam chair, I have uh no objection to renewal uh with a warning letter.

Okay.

Are there any neighbors present that wish to testify on this item today?

All right, let the record reflect there are no neighbors present to testify.

Um was that a motion then, Alderman Brighten?

I'll move uh renewal with a warning letter.

Alderman Peterberg Ellis moves for renewal with a warning letter.

Any discussion?

Any objection?

Hearing not so ordered.

A former employee.

No, there's just neighbors, and I think uh employee asked for neighbors.

Mm-hmm.

Looks like former employee, I'm saying they are here in the file.

And so thus uh when there's any objection filed by constituents or neighbors and the like, it gets scheduled.

All right, well, why don't I go to neighbors?

Are there is there anybody here on this item?

Are there any neighbors present that would like to testify to this item today?

Checkers on Capitol Drive.

All right.

There are no neighbors here in person or virtually on checkers.

Um we should give it to the Alder, but thank you for your uh excitement.

I just um Madam Chair.

Yes, um you know, I think one of the things that I just want to say is that um, you know, for any businesses, you know, for individuals running um in our city, uh it can be very challenging because you have patrons um that you're that you're working with.

Uh um, as far as business owners, one of the requirements that I have, you know, of them is that uh they're running um a good business, that meaning that um, you know, the area is um is cleanly, um, you're providing a great atmosphere, you know, for patrons that are coming um and going.

There's some things that you know you just don't have any control over just because you're dealing with um dealing with people.

I'm glad to see that there are no police um records um on file um for this establishment.

I know that um you all have been there for multiple years.

Um, and you know, you know, I think they're a great asset um to district number 10.

Um we didn't so typically when there's something egregious, um, I would have reached out and you know, conducted some formal community meeting, held the file just so that we can address um a lot of the concerns we didn't get um any of that in office as far as hey, we need to have a conversation sort of thing.

Um so at this point I definitely don't mind um approval and then encourage uh any constituents um in the neighborhood um to reach out uh so that we can have a conversation um with the owners.

Um they don't come off to me as unreasonable um individuals.

Very good.

Thank you, Alderwoman.

But I do um I am in approval of um moving their license application forward.

Very good.

Okay, and Sergeant Cornejo, is there a police report?

On 11825 at 120 a.m.

Walkie police were dispatched to Walter Check.

The business call regarding an intoxicated subject who fell asleep at the bar.

The subject was transported to a local hospital on 4116 at 1146 p.m.

Walking police observed a call for service regarding a 20-year-old bark uh bartending.

This is a violation, and therefore the call was deemed baseless.

Sorry, you want to correct the record?

You said this is a violation.

Uh uh, this is not a violation, I'm sorry.

Therefore, the call is deemed baseless.

Okay, thank you.

Um, would you like to speak to the police report, sir?

Yes, um uh on the first item.

Um people are on medication, and sometimes um it's very difficult to tell when somebody comes in drinking with a medication.

So the subject had some kind of medication or some kind of drug in them before.

Um that that day.

So that was that on the second item of a 20 year old.

I don't even recall I was having a 20-year-old bartender.

So that could have been anybody making a false uh assumption or false call.

So and also an MPD did indicate it's uh it is not a violation, and and so they did deem it baseless.

But thank you for that, sir.

Okay, thank you.

Questions on the police report from committee members?

Oh, sure.

Alderman DeAndre Jackson.

Um it looks it looks like a significant drop in police calls.

What have you been doing different?

Um, we've uh installed um uh a very professional ID checking system of Veradox, most of the casinos use that system, and in that case when the patrons come in, they'd be an ID'd, and when they leave, it's deleted.

So if you have any problems, we literally tell them.

I mean, it's uh it's uh we're trying to make it a family uh grown-up environment.

So if you are inside, we try to make sure that people behave, but when they leave, uh, we delete the the uh via records on the ID system.

It's a very good system.

All right, good job.

Thank you.

Very good.

Alderman Westmoreland questions on the police report?

No.

Okay.

And are there any pr uh neighbors present that wish to testify to this item today for diamonds?

All right, we'll oh you know what?

We're gonna we'll take up your yeah.

So um Alderman Peter Bergelis moves to hold um file two six zero four six two to the call of the chair and hearing no objections so ordered.

Good, thank you.

All right, just for a moment, everyone, so we can take up um item number two on our agenda today.

File number two six zero two three seven, a substitute ordinance relating to the granting of a temporary change of plan permit, authored by Alderman Lamont Westmoreland.

And we also have Jim Cooney here from the licensed division.

Do you want me to start with Jim Cooney or would you like to Okay?

Jim Cooney, do you want to give us a synopsis of the legislation?

Uh sure.

Yeah.

Uh Jim Cooney, licensed division.

Good morning.

Um, this legislation uh clarifies uh late filing, uh five or fewer business days before an event as grounds for denial of a uh temporary change of plan permit.

Um and the idea here, um Alderman Westmoreland, please feel free to jump in.

But the idea here is to give uh local council person some time and a reason to deny should they need to look for objections to a permit.

Um this also removes a section of the code um that uh forces a permit application to the licenses committee if there's an objection.

I think the rationale behind that is that we frequently get these after the filing deadline, and in many cases where there's not time to consider it, so the application is essentially stuck, can't be approved, can't be denied by removing this section of the code, uh it delegates that to local council person.

Very good, thank you.

And to add, um, you know, I I get these uh a lot of the establishments in my district in my district uh close at 11 to 1230 p.m.

and sometimes they want to remain open until two and they apply for the temporary sometimes, for example, that could be an event on Saturday, but they send the application in to license division on Thursday.

So usually when I get these requests for uh temporary approval, I'll reach out to LIU to understand if there is any issues in the area.

Um any uptick in calls for service through MPD, um any any issues in the area, any issues from neighbors.

So uh it just gives the Alder uh time to do their own homework to better understand if remaining that establishment remaining open um is good for the area.

So um I would hate to approve something and learn that you know there is a major issue uh through MPD um a day or two prior.

Very good.

Thank you.

All right.

Well, any questions from committee members for the author or Jim Cooney at this time otherwise are anything final, Alderman Westmoreland.

Otherwise we can't do that.

No, I just I mean, obviously it's it started with me, and I I found this as a issue in my district, but you know, just looking to give all of my colleagues uh flexibility in um determining if you know an establishment you you know getting something temporarily approved um is a fit or not.

Yes, I like the sound of it as well because I know we've had very recently somebody asking last minute, and we would have had to convene the entire first the committee, then the entire council.

So I feel like this would help to rectify that.

Would you agree, Jim Cooney?

Yeah, correct measure.

All right.

Um if there's not anything further from committee members, uh undertain a motion.

I'll move approval.

I I'm happy to uh help close loopholes.

Very good.

Alderman Bergelis is happy to help close loopholes and he moves for approval.

Any uh discussion on that motion.

Any objection?

Is it passage?

Oh, I'm sorry, Alderman Bergellis moves for passage.

Um all right, hearing no discussion or objection, so ordered.

Very good.

Thank you, Alderman.

My name is Shwani Sherma, 5025 West College Avenue, Greendale, Wisconsin.

Thank you.

All right, Ms.

Lopez, are there any holds?

No holds.

Sergeant Cornejo, is there a police report?

92025, Milwaukee Police were conducting underage alcohol complaints checks at various retailers utilizing an underage safety cadet.

At approximately 155 p.m., the youth entered 4401 West Lisbon Avenue and purchased an alcoholic beverage from the clerk who did not ask for an ID.

The agent was cited for sale of alcohol to underage on 111825.

They were convicted and fined 451 dollars.

All right, would you like to speak to the police report?

Uh no, ma'am.

That was my employee's fault.

I know he didn't ask for the ID.

But mostly I want to assert to the committee that most of the time me and my wife, we both work at this uh uh location.

Because that day we were out of town, so we have uh one part-time employee, but he failed to do his duty as I trained him about asking the IDs, especially for like whosoever looks under 2021 or whatever.

So I already removed him from my uh business.

He's no longer employee with me.

But I I understand this is a serious violation, and it's my responsibility to take care of this.

So I take some uh preventive steps.

I installed a new PUS system that is from NRS, and it always asked for I put a check on it before any beer or tobacco sale.

It asked for the ID check.

So we are doing so.

So this is my first violation regarding alcohol or tobacco.

I was maintaining a very good record with this store.

And I I asked the committee to consider me for as my good record.

That's all I have to say.

All right, thank you, Mr.

Sharma.

Questions from committee members on the police report at this time.

Questions from Alderman Stamper at this time on the police report.

Um yes.

Uh how did you find out, Sharmy?

And was he was he a um that a f was that the family member guy?

Uh no, sir.

It was not my family member.

He's just uh my employee.

Okay, so who works there now?

Because uh it doesn't look like you've been have you been open?

Are you open?

We uh I opened on June 17th.

We had uh remodel the whole store and we changed the roof.

We was closed for a quite bit, like two and a half months.

Yeah.

Yeah, we did a lot of improvements in the store and these steps uh to prevent all these incidents in the future.

I'm working on it and I'm just taking more preventive steps.

So if I'm not you been there again, sorry, sir.

How long have you been there again?

Uh been at the store.

Yes.

I work, I I'd be there at like three, four hours, but my wife.

I know.

Like how many years?

How long how long have you owned it?

I'm on here since 2019, so September of 2019.

Okay.

All right.

Um, my recommendation is a warning rather.

I do like the new system.

Let me let me let me check with uh Audible Gillis.

Alderman Gills, is that that system we discussed last time?

Uh thank you for the question.

I I believe it's a good idea.

Well, I like that.

I believe it's it sounds similar.

Um, sir, does it does your system require an ID scan for every alcohol tobacco and THC sale?

Yes, sir.

It does.

Whenever we scan any beer item or any tobacco item, do you see it all do you sell THC?

No, we don't.

You don't, okay.

So thank you for implementing that.

Uh I think you you've uh read the council's and the committee's mind.

Uh that if you uh are if there is a failure to um protect children from alcohol and tobacco, that we uh we do like to see uh technology uh assist uh and prevent those kinds of unfortunate uh instances in the future thank you thank you, Alderman.

Uh I'm uh I'm appreciative of how we took measures on our uh he's been uh good operator over there for the last few years.

So uh I'm going to just support this license with a warning letter.

Thank you, Alderminister.

Thank you.

Shoreman, do you want to update your plan operation to reflect that you have a ID scanning system now?

Yes, sir.

I can I can do install that one too if you want me to so you have the system already right?

Yes, sir.

In the POS, I do have a system.

It gives you the option whenever somebody is there to buy the beer or alcohol.

I mean uh alcohol or tobacco.

When we scan, there is a message pops up on the screen of the POS.

You must check the IDR.

Is it is it the buyer is 21?

Then after confirming that, then we have to press OK, then only the sale can go through.

All right, and you okay today with updating your plan of operation?

Yes, sir.

All right, madam chair would like to update the plan of operation of this business to reflect to have ID scanner for the point of sales of alcohol and tobacco.

Okay, you would like to make that amendment to your application today, Mr.

Sharma?

Well, this was um must have been scheduled for uh and an objection, perhaps.

Alderman Stamper, do you want to weigh in here?

Uh I'm looking right now.

Madam Chair.

There was items previously on the um application, but with the change of agent, they are all now previous premise.

Okay, I see.

So we got I think there was also a question for the Alderman regarding security.

Yeah, security.

There's uh officers were dispatched on 8 24 25.

That was a concern.

Then March, there was another robbery complaint, and then I got some issues with um the operation of Wendy's.

Okay.

Yes.

Um can you speak to those items and we're talking about the two that were on the yeah, 824 25.

Yeah, I think we're talking about the two that were on the yeah, 824 25.

So uh we had real quick, explain to me why all this stuff on the police report isn't being discussed.

Why why why why why why didn't you say all the stuff on the police report?

Because of a change of it.

Can you repeat it for Alderman Spiker again?

There's a change of agent Alderman Stamper.

Sorry.

Um that's why the items on that were previously noticed are not noticed this time around.

It's all previous premise due to the change of agent.

Yeah, but how do but the the issues relate to the business, not the agent.

Correct, but that's how the reports have been written.

So you can change the agent and and remove all of the negative stuff that happened to the business by changing agents.

Please Alder, yeah.

Let's um we can reserve comment as to uh that's what no we that's what you're doing.

I I understand that I just don't want that to see to appear as a uh possible pathway.

They are and do appear on the previous premises.

Yeah, I understand that, but we're not gonna do that with my district.

Well, the applicant is certainly willing to discuss the items.

Yeah, well.

Okay.

And we we can continue.

Can we talk about it?

We can certainly continue the dialogue uh on it.

Alderman Stamper, maybe it's a piece of legislation he wants to pick up.

They're willing to discuss it, that's fine.

Yeah, I will.

Okay, absolutely.

But with that, we want to thank the applicant for being willing to still discuss the items.

Yeah, no problem.

Um I'll give it to Mr.

Thompson Alderman Stamper to really talking about the one that was on August 24th, 25.

Um, we had an employee uh that was confronted after close of business after they're punched out uh of the the POS and was was attacked by somebody that came up to the restaurant, something that happened outside of work.

Um he went back in the building, came back out, um, and there was a confrontation.

Uh the employee was assaulted uh and in self-defense, he had a pocket knife that helped kind of hold him down to the police got there.

Um Rolando, our district manager, uh, complied with the the police provided camera footage and the attacker was ended up being arrested.

So uh again, uh the employee was terminated for violation of our weapons and security policy, so we take this very seriously with a zero tolerance, even though he was attacked that night.

Um it is a violation of our policy, never worked for us again after that that evening.

So did the employee have a handgun?

No.

The police report says, and the subject armed with a handgun.

That was the uh the attacker.

So the attacker had a handgun.

Yep.

And your employee put out a knife.

He actually disarmed them.

He disarmed disarmed the guy with the gun, and then uh thread back in his car and kept holding them down, and then they fought again, and he held them at night point until the police got there.

What is your security system like at Wendy's?

So we have uh envision security system, um 16 cameras live streaming at all times of day.

Um again, really helps with any issues that we may have.

It's been an asset to us.

We've had it for about three years now.

And for situations like this, you know, Rolando's able to dial in quickly and get the footage over to the police department, and uh in this situation they were able to capture the attacker.

Okay.

What about the other incident?

Uh the other incident was uh there's two individuals in our parking lot conducting a Facebook transaction.

Um weren't even uh aware of it until the police contacted us about footage.

Rolando complied again, provide the footage.

Um, and I believe that case is closed as well.

Okay, I have a uh concern about this this change of agents.

I'm looking at this report, and this is another issue with another weapon complaint.

Uh yeah, I need to I need to I need to hold this.

I'm requesting a hold just to find out what's going on.

Okay, uh let's see.

I need some accountability.

It sounds like there's no accountability.

I need I need to I need to understand some things.

And Alderman, if I may provide a little inf information for you.

Just so you know the okay change of agent.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh can you I'm sorry, this is the attorney speaking, Alderman Stamper.

I apologize.

All right.

Okay, thank you.

Would you like to speak to the police report?

I mean if there's a problem, I'll be able to call the police and then thank you.

Questions from committee members on the police report?

Yes, ma'am chair.

Alderman DeAndre Jackson.

You had a significant drop in police calls.

What have you been doing different?

Um because uh it was 24 hours.

Now we are open till 10 p.m.

And I'm requesting to be open till 1159 if that's a possibility.

So currently for the last year you'll be on closing at 10 o'clock.

Yes.

And we have um disguiled in the evening.

Okay, thank you.

Anything further, Alderman Jackson?

No, no, that was good.

Okay.

Questions from on the police report.

Alderman Stamper.

Yeah, thank you.

And um looks like what you've been doing has been working.

I appreciate all the proactive calls.

Uh Mr.

Geary.

So uh let's let's continue this this the success in the neighborhood.

But so I would uh um no objections very good.

Um Madam Chair.

Yes, uh the the request to open later isn't noticed.

Um we missed that on our end.

He did request to close at midnight, but we missed that, so that is not in front of us today.

Okay, so the applicant would like to amend his application to be able to stay open until 11 59 p.m.

Yes, sir.

Uh Alderman Stamper.

No, we haven't discussed that.

Okay.

Madam Chair.

Uh yes.

Yeah, because it wasn't noticed.

Um, the committee sh probably shouldn't discuss it as it is a public concern specific uh to the Aldermanic district and then also just the broader community.

I believe though we will see him again in very short order, probably the next cycle with that 1159 request if you're gonna perpetuate that request.

So that'll come up on our next regularly scheduled meeting because it was a request that you made on your application, so we will have to hear it.

Um and it should come up expeditiously.

So moved on right now.

We're gonna deal with no, we don't have to.

We don't have to open it right now.

We're gonna deal with what's specifically in front of us, and then later we'll have to deal with that secondary uh request to extend the hours.

And obviously, that gives you some time with your local alder to discuss um what works within the district and what works for you.

Um, but because it was missed on our end, we do have to contend with both of the requests.

We have to individually identify and contend with what's on our notice agenda agenda, excuse me, and then what's separately requested by the applicant.

So we will have to take this up again, so we will see you again in short order, probably after the August recess.

Um I apologize for the inconsistency there.

All right, very good.

I'm sorry, madam chair.

Yes.

Um, so I'm I'm looking at the file that we have in front of us, and I see the supplemental application with a change of hours that was requested.

So just so that I can understand this correctly, the applicant rec made the correct request, but we never noticed the neighborhood about the request for a change of hours.

The specialist that processed the renewal didn't note the change of hours, so I when I discussed this with the alderman, there was nothing on the status sheet um informing me that there was a change.

So all of that was missed because and it wasn't noticed properly.

Was this business license um renewal plan of operation filed refiled with the change or like we just didn't read it?

It was an error.

Yeah, it was an error.

It was missed.

Okay.

Thank you.

So on yes, so we do sorry about that error, sir.

But um we can still take up the application, but without your request to change of hours, uh, Alderman Stamper clearly wants to speak with you and neighbors have to be noticed and the like.

Um all right.

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

North Av Petrolmart.

Okay.

Um let the record reflect there are no neighbors present to testify.

Is that LIU?

Do they want to speak on this?

Or did you no his hand has been up the year?

The establishment was open to a business and being operated by the previous owner.

9 a.m.

a.m.

police.

Okay.

Security cameras were functioning.

The new agent was advised of a standing complaint form to help deal with problems such as loitering.

And 5 28 25 at 11 a.m.

officers conducted a license premise check.

Upon officers entering the business, they were greeted by the manager who stated the business is still operating as the brass key, which is owned by the same person until the license licensing change takes place.

On eight nineteen twenty-five at twelve twenty pm and also conducted a license premise check.

A sign was posted on the exterior with the new business name.

Three handwritten written signs informing patrons alcohol is not being served at the location were posted.

Employees what cooperative during the investigation.

The establishment was confirmed to be open and operating.

Several signs were posted informing the public that alcoholic beverages were not being sold until the license was granted.

Bottles of alcohol were still on display, and the owner was advised until a license is granted those items should be removed.

A temporary no parking zone was implemented to help curve a street takeover.

Three individual companies found to be part in the zone.

Additional information was provided and all three owners complied with the request to move.

Signs were still posted advising the public alcohol beverages are not being served until a license is obtained.

The owners stated they did not get approved for a liquor license but have not received a physical copy and will not serve alcohol until they receive their license.

That's everything she wants to say.

Does Committee have any questions about the police report?

It's in the 11th Automaric District Out.

I mean Burgelexing questions about the police report.

So there was a period when uh there was still alcohol being displayed in the business when they were not allowed to serve it.

Uh MPD made multiple follow-ups and corrected that.

So um so this was this was scheduled because of that disconnect.

Uh there are additional items on the police report regarding food trucks which happen in other aldermatic districts.

But I did want to ask a question to licensing because I don't see a DNS complaint about bright lights.

I know we had communication with them, I don't think that was added to the file for regarding the food truck.

Okay, and the building no, not the food truck.

But the building, the signs, I know they went out and the building looks like the UFO landed.

Yeah, we did have communication with DNS to go get that checked out.

Okay.

Um but there's nothing in the file.

Should DNS should the DNS orders be submitted that would come up at renewal next year then?

Uh yes.

So uh my office has received complaints about bright flashing lights that persist uh 24 or persist all night long, even when the business is closed.

Oh de colores.

Yes, we put on lights, colored lights around.

Unless they turn it off.

I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.

She's saying that yes, that they added some lights around the food truck unless they turn it off.

The restaurant.

No, no, talking about the restaurant, not the food truck.

Oh, okay.

They did put lights around just like other businesses.

That's what they put.

Oh, yes, the only solution that she can find is to turn it off and not have it on.

Yes, I could, but other businesses have also lights around their businesses, but if that's what bothers the people, they she could turn it off.

I'm not sure.

Thank you.

I'm gonna interject here.

I just say that your um concern is that you receive calls from neighbors saying that the lights are on even when the business is closed.

Correct.

And she said that yes, that she's the lights on.

Oh, the husband put him on um automatically.

So the lights turn on automatically.

Right.

Uh I drove by last night.

The business was closed and the lights were still on and flashing.

Yes, the lights are on all night.

So my request is for you to stop flashing lights any time.

And turn the lights off when the business is closed.

The colored ones.

Yes.

Okay.

Parking lot lights are normal.

But the carnival, 24 hours a day is not.

Okay.

Marisela se refiero in todo el contorno del edificio.

Okay, porque.

Okay.

He just asked if he's able to keep on the lights without even flashing, just on with no flashing.

No advertising negotios.

But the flashing is a distraction to neighbors and motorists.

So I will ask if you'd like to uh amend your plan of operation.

To allow lights that don't flash when the business is open.

So lights that do not flash while the business is open, and you turn the lights off when the business is closed.

And turn the carnival lights off when the business is closed.

So uh will you agree to adding that to your plan of operation?

Yes, Madam Chair, I'll uh move to amend the plan of operation to restrict flashing lights or lights uh restrict flashing lights at all.

And to not allow lights while the business is closed.

And no lights after no colorful lights after dark, right?

No carnival lights after the business is closed.

Any objections to the motion hearing is saying nice I'll order it.

All right.

Thank you very much.

And I have I have no other objections to the business, so I'll there any are there any neighbors present who wish to testify or the record?

Oh, okay.

Um you can come up to the standing mic.

Raise your right hand to be sworn in.

Do you soundly affirm under the pains and penalties of perjury in the state of Wisconsin that the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Just state your name and address, and then you can you'll be given two and a half minutes for your testimony.

Can I just start I'm sorry, can I pause right here, madam chair?

I just want to make sure he's objecting to some to the food truck.

Is the food truck before us right now as well?

No.

Oh, you're vo objecting to the food dealer and food peddler.

Okay, I just wanted to make sure you were here for the right.

Yeah.

Very good.

Please.

So I'm here today.

I'm representing Burger King.

I'm the store manager from my Burr King address is 1841 South 14th Street.

I'm new to the location.

I took it over in April 20th.

Obviously, there's gonna have challenges for the store.

I knew one of my challenges was gonna be the amount of taco trucks that park in front of the business.

Stop a second, give her a chance to pause the timer.

Translate to the mic, not to her.

Okay.

Go ahead, Juan.

And then so one of the taco trucks would be their taco truck.

Um now they're parked there from I want to say seven to eight in the morning till four in the morning.

And um I know that I'm pretty sure there's different time zones for that.

Um de comida está stationado de las 7 a las 8 as to 4 a.m.

Ever since that I went up to the taco trucks, I expressed my concerns um about all the trash that they leave while the customer all the trash that the clients leave, they do have trash cans outside of the taco truck.

So prior to like we will have Saturday nights, Friday nights would be the busiest days where the whole my whole lot will be filled of cars.

Cars blocking the entrance, both entrance at times.

You know, some customers will come in motorcycles or bikes, reving their engines.

And I'll let them know if we can turn on the music.

Um they would, but then they would just turn it back up.

And then with all the partying, there's people uh drinking, there's people throwing their trash all over our lot, glass, bottles broken all over the lot.

Now there would be a time where once in a while they will clean it if I'm recording, um they will come out and clean it, but as far as them cleaning, I barely see anything, and I already expressed my concern about it.

And so since everything ever since I've been reporting it to Jose Jose Perez Alderman of the district and then his secretary also have been reporting it to her too.

Um if we can get the tacos truck to move somewhere else because I know they can't be 50 feet within our entrance, a business entrance.

Okay, but as far as that's fine.

Does the committee have any questions for this witness?

Um go ahead.

So you park and do you you park near this burger king then?

Is that correct?

Uh well no.

Oh, I'm sorry, these I'm sorry, I miss I did the process wrong.

These are questions just for the witness at this time.

Okay.

I'll wait.

I'll hold my question for the applicant.

And can I ask a question?

Thank you for your testimony.

Um did you say that are you certain that the food trucks are staying this food truck is staying open till 4 a.m.?

Yes.

How many how often mostly every day?

I say they're there seven days a week.

Um I know this because I check cameras every night.

And then top of that, I board thirdshift myself just to experience just to see if you know if they will clean or what time they actually do leave, and yes, they do leave at 4 a.m.

One time they did leave early and I'm only up to swim because they ran out of food, which was like around three going on four.

So they're open and serving at four a.m.

No, they're closed at four a.m.

They close so they they get there around seven to eight a.m.

and they can they will be there till four AM.

And this is during the week and on the weekend?

Yes.

We need translation.

I already told her what you said in amount, so I I just the last part I haven't translated what he said.

Yeah.

Uh Tamina dicho que la pregunta comida está, yeah.

Dice que si in the semana se las cuatro.

Okay.

Yes.

And you Burger King is open twenty-four hours of it.

It's open twenty four.

Okay, the drive-thru.

All right, thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Uh any other questions from committee.

Honor Gallis, any questions?

Yes.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Um where so your your uh restaurant is on a for the witness.

Oh, okay.

Um trapezoidal shaped lot.

Yeah.

Do they park on Burnham on 14th on Forest Home?

Where do they park?

The the food truck?

Yeah.

On forest home.

On forest home.

So across the big side of the parking lot.

Yes.

And then uh question for licensing of the order city ordinance is fifty feet from the entrance of a restaurant without a uh drive-thru, Burger King has a drive-thru.

What's the distance restriction for food trucks for restaurants within with a drive-thru?

With the drive-thru, I don't think there's any restriction.

So there's no restriction.

Oh my limit.

Yeah, the time limit.

Time limited.

Um when you and you've said you've asked the operator of the truck to clean up after their customers.

Yes.

And when I went up to them, um the person that was in the truck at the time told me that they switched switch, they switched shifts and that they can clean up after each changeover.

And ever since then I've haven't seen any cleanups.

I've had my opening manager send me videos and photos every morning going in and there's glass, all whole bunch of stuff.

Um, what time does your restaurant close?

We don't close, we're 24 hours.

The lobby closes at 9 p.m.

is 24 hours.

And it's a burden on your staff, you said to have to clean up after someone else's customers.

Exactly.

And then on top of, you know, some of my staff have vehicles, they can drive into the parking lot, get a flat tire because there's times we're just sharded glass sticking up into like just poking up.

You know, and then another reason is that we get our food inspection as early as six in the morning.

Um if they were to walk in, we would get dinged for that.

Excellent.

All right.

Thank you, madam chair.

Okay.

Um the applicant for this witness.

Yes.

Right now there's two car two food trucks that moved El Carboncito and the Mial Damor.

She doesn't know why.

She has a question.

Only questions.

Solamente preguntas.

No, no, no.

No, no questions for him.

Okay.

Um Ottoman Perez who represents the district is here.

Do you want to speak to this?

Did you have questions about this morning?

I do.

Thank you.

No, um I appreciate uh the testimony and um manager being here present.

We have gotten several complaints.

Um DPW, parking, the health department, MPD district two are all aware of the situation.

Um I expect that there'll be a significant amount of PA 33s for all of them that are registered in my district with food bases.

Um all the food trucks know that they can't be within fifty feet of another restaurant brick and mortar.

They're still parking at Forest Home in front of Burger King, wing stop is right there.

There's a palateria cross, which is a brick and mortar, which is another food dealer license.

And so um I expected to deal with I didn't realize they were up today because they're in a different uh the food base is another district, but uh what's going on on Forest Home is a problem, and I'm expecting other departments to really step in and help hold people accountable for that.

So what he's seeing is absolutely right.

The parking lots are being taken over.

Um I I have a question is um how often are you calling the police department about people in your parking lot?

I call every time when they're actually blocking our lot at the entrance because regardless if I call on a day that is not really busy, they'll just drive past or they would just drive in the lot and then drive off.

Okay, because we can't really know their customers to them.

So how does this look at the other?

Are you calling because people are parking in your parking lot and they shouldn't be?

Because if they're not your patrons, they have no business parking in your parking lot, correct?

Yes.

Okay, but are you calling for that?

Are you calling because people are parked in your parking lot or are you only calling when they block your entrance?

Both.

Because I mean even when they're blocking if they're not blocking the entrance, the whole lot can be filled.

And still playing music and all everything else.

That's in the works, but what I do is I call the city if I get a vehicle that needs to get told.

Okay.

So if I look up your address, we're gonna see numerous phone calls for parking violations from your location?

I'll say about two for overnight for vehicles that park there.

How often?

There's only two calls.

Uh but just in the in your open what what are your hours of operation?

24 hours.

Okay.

So in 24 hours, I've witnessed I got pictures of vehicles being parked in there that are patrons of the food trucks.

Is there a reason you're not calling for that?

Because if you don't call for that, then people are gonna think it's okay to park in your lot and get food from them and not you.

Well, if I do call a non-emergency won't show up on days that it's really not packed.

Because I even then when I do call, they always ask me how many cars are in there.

So if I were to say no, we got five cars, I feel like nobody will come.

Okay.

Thank you, madam chair.

Thank you.

Um did this.

Um, so this is in the 11th Automatic District, Ottoman Bergellis.

And thank you, you can have a seat.

Oh.

Oh, oh, Ottoman Perez?

No, no, from the from the applicant.

Oh, I asked them, they said they had no questions.

Yeah.

Okay.

No questions.

Um, I am very disappointed, thank you, Madam Chair.

I'm I'm disappointed to hear about the problem in uh a different part of town.

Um, are those claims from the restaurant manager valid?

Oh was Burger King three atrás.

No, pero el Estado.

Yes.

What have you done to improve the situation?

What they do is they try to clean up all the trash, but there's a lot of trash, even the Burger King's trash.

And those two bags get filled up.

All type of trash.

There's all kinds of trash, bottles, burger kings trash trash, their trash, even preserved preservatives.

I knew that it's going to be a issue.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm no longer gonna park there, I'm gonna park where I usually park.

During the day I don't park there.

I park uh at the other side and she only parks there at night.

Um the food truck, I'm reading the food truck uh supplemental renewal application.

And it does not identify any location where you operate.

Because they were used to be on burnam and they got moved.

No, the food trucks.

Page forty page 43 is blank.

So it's the last page of the package.

Oh the food trucks have no incinerary.

This is for the renewal, correct?

So yes.

So my question for licensing.

So la pregunta para el Departamento Licencias.

Okay.

Should these should these applications not identify the locations?

Yes, they should.

Should these applications should this application not identify a location where they're going to operate?

Where would the food truck be legally permitted to operate?

The itinerary should list where the trucks are operating.

So if the application is blank, where can the trucks operate?

Is it nowhere?

I mean they they cannot operate anywhere, but the itinerary is used to identify where they are to make it easier for the health department to identify where they are so that they can go rand and do random inspections.

Okay.

So uh if I uh if we hold the all of the food truck applic renewal applications, is a provisional automatic?

Or is that subject to the provisional would be automatic because the licenses are expiring the 21st of August?

So we would have to give them a provisional for the trucks.

How can we give a provisional to a blank application?

We can't really operate.

Um Madam Chair, I'd like to move rejection of the applications.

I don't know, this is unusual, but they're incomplete.

Uh we have problems from the neighbor we have established problems from the neighborhoods where this operator operates.

I wanted I want to give you some time to translate.

But we have established that this operator has some problems where they're operating.

Based on the location where they're operating.

So madam chair, I will move to how the food pedaler license.

Yeah, I'm very concerned to hear test sworn testimony from the witness around staying open till 4 a.m.

Um that's very concerning as you know during the week, food trucks can stay open in the city of Milwaukee until 3 a.m.

and on the weekend until 3 30 a.m.

de comida stalasquatro a m, pero legalmente las camiones de comida no pueden nada más.

Um with that, I'm not understanding what all the member gallets is looking to do.

I I there's nothing.

I think you mean a hold.

Don't you mean a hold?

And you can't do it.

How many food trucks do you have?

Or lose lugar.

They have four, and the only one they have issues one is on the one that was in the burnum.

They have five food trucks.

No, nothing.

Okay.

Five, you said?

Uh they have five, so they have four food trucks that are licensed and then one application for a new food truck that does not have a license.

Okay, and I guess I'm not understanding what Alderman Briells' motion is.

Well, I I don't think that the application should have been before so they're incomplete.

So I don't think so.

So I think we will need to hold all of the food truck applications until we can consider a complete application.

And that may end up being a special before uh our next council meeting.

However, this is that also triggers an automatic uh provisional license that allows them to operate through August to until our next regular cycle.

Is that correct?

If we hold the food trucks, yes.

So the four would have provisionals, the application would not be before anyone.

Um so we've spent more than enough time on this today.

Um Madam Chair, I'll move to hold all the food truck applications.

Uh approval of the renewal and then the new for the food dealer license.

Um food dealer renewal as amended.

As amended.

Well, is this only for is this only for the food trucks today?

No, it's food dealer and food pedaler, right?

So you want to approve the food dealer and food peddler licenses.

So food dealer renewal as amended with a warning letter, food peddlers hold.

With a warning letter, and to hold the food peddler license.

Um to hold the food pedaler license.

Hearing and scene on so order.

Okay.

She also wanted her speak.

Oh, yeah, she should get the speaker.

That's fine.

Okay, go ahead.

She already has seven years with this business and she's been renewing every year.

Three weeks ago the inspection, the inspector when they're on for his home.

That was one of the issues when they were on parked near El Rey.

They told them to move and they did move.

And where they moved to the new spot.

They've been selling there for almost two months.

Okay, look yourself.

And she but you think of Trabajadores.

She believes even the fairly negotiation.

She she believed this is not fair just because of the renewals.

And she has about 20 employees that depend on that work for her on the food trucks.

What she could do is move forward or move from Burger King.

Do we want to identify that there will be a provision in place?

Can you explain that to license?

I just want to call Madam Chair.

Yes.

And additionally, you need to reach out to both Alderman Burgellis and Alderman Perez.

He probably should reach out to Burger King as well.

She's not gonna park there anymore.

Okay.

Because both of the other food trucks are already moved from there too.

She will no longer be there.

I am in the back where she usually sells during throughout the day.

So we're good.

All right, thank you.

And I do want to go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I want to go back to our last agenda item was Freemos, and I see the the family of Tremay and Montgomery.

We still have quite a few people on the board.

Um I was just letting you know that that item, the owner did not show up, so the I the item was held, so we did not hear anything about it today.

Um we don't know if if he'll be reapplying or renewing, but you will be notified when he is.

Tina, I see you unmuted.

Yes, did you have a question?

Yes, I did.

I'm I'm wondering why we didn't have a chance to be acknowledged when the item was on the agenda and the all the time.

Madam Chair.

Yeah, automatic.

Oh, sorry, good.

I can speak to it.

Um the reason Can you let her know who you are so she understands?

Uh Assistant City Attorney Travis Gresham.

The reason that we don't open to public testimony when the applicant isn't here is because these hearings are as to the individual license, and that licensee, the applicant has the ability to cross-examine witnesses testifying or um just giving evidence that they are not here, kind of disallows that process.

So if we open it up to public testimony, none of that public testimony can be considered by the committee because the individual applicant isn't here.

So what we what we're doing is reserving your testimony so that when the applicant appears in front of the body, then we can consider all of what you have to say.

So by making sure that they're here to rebut or question or whatever it might be, um, that again preserves your testimony and make sure that it's it's uh allowed to be heard by the body.

If we were to open it up, all of that testimony would have to be kind of stricken from the record.

Okay, so can you tell me?

So if an item is held, does that mean that they're going to have another hearing regarding that?

They might be notified when that hearing takes place.

Yes, ma'am, you will be notified if there is a further hearing.

Um some individuals choose not to apply again, understanding that there might be uh public pushback.

So the individual here didn't appear.

Um, and again, it's within their ability to withdraw that application, but if they continue to pursue the application, um you will be notified of that upcoming hearing.

How many opportunities does he get to not show up and it's generally in the discretion of the committee?

Um but non-appearances, um unscheduled or unnoticed, non-appearances.

There are generally two, um, but that's not a strict rule by the committee.

Um this one was a noticed non-appearance.

Uh the alder was made aware by the individual that um they were not going to appear.

Um, and that was apparently a very late notice uh that was given to the alder.

The elder did make a statement um that will be on the record.

So if you want to go back and review um that the video should be up um probably in about a day or so.

Okay, I just have one more question.

So he suppose he doesn't, he chooses not to reapply, but another license for that location magically appears a year from now or two years from now.

Are we made aware of that?

How do how do we if you're within the the 200?

There's a a certain distance um that you're generally made aware of, and if you have a standing complaint as to that specific location, the license division will reach out to you individually.

So what you can do is file a standing complaint with the license division as to that location, and then you will again get specific individual notice as to any license that occurs or is applied for at that location.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, it's called a standing um you also could sign up for e notify for the fifth district, and you'd be notified of every license second second second district.

I mean that comes up um when that license comes back up, you'd be notified via email as well.

I I got it, T.

I got it.

Okay.

All right.

Uh thank you, Montgomery family, and our condolences.

Thank you for doing this.

Thank you.

Are you in receipt of notice of today's meeting?

The possibility that your application may be denied.

Yes.

Please state your name and address for the record.

Zachary Maxwell, S78 W 14958, Bell Chase Parkway, Musquegou, Wisconsin.

Miss Lopez, are there any holds?

No holds.

Sergeant Cornejo is there, police report.

On 428-25 at 447 p.m.

officers are dispatched to a battery complaint.

Employees call regarding an unknown subject physically attacking a customer inside of the business.

Both subjects left prior to officers' arrival.

Security camera was available of the incident.

On 7 1125 at 1126 a.m.

also dispatched to a threat complaint.

Upon arrival, the assault the subject was no longer on scene.

Employees were cooperative and no violations were observed.

So your security camera was available of the incident.

Security camera video was available of the incident.

On 1128, 25 at 414 p.m.

officers were dispatched to a theft complaint.

Security guy reported unknown subjects that attempted to steal merchandise.

We're back inside of the business.

Security requested the subjects be removed.

On 1126 at 6 05 p.m., officers were dispatched to a threat complaint.

The caller was not able to be contacted, and employees reported an upset customer yelling at them prior to leaving.

On 21626 at 3 22 p.m., officers were dispatched to a theft complaint.

Security reported two subjects that drove off with merchandise.

Security video was available of the incident.

That's it.

Okay, sorry.

Uh would the applicant like to speak to the items on the police report.

Um nothing in specific in terms of those police items.

We we do a great job.

We feel like we're partnering with the Milwaukee Police Department and trying to uh monitor their time and only call them out when necessary.

Uh we felt like in most of these cases it was necessary to call them out, and um they have told us that we've been very cooperative, whatever we do call them out and try to help them wherever we can with the investigations.

Does the committee have any questions about the police report?

Uh auto McCoggs, any questions about the police report?

Yes, I do.

For item 22.

Um, it appears that the uh the subjects that were stealing were folks that were known to security.

Does RDs ever do restraining orders against folks?

Uh we um we have done kind of trespassing orders against people that have come in a repeat offenders.

Did that happen in this case?

Did do you all have trespassing orders against the individuals um in vibe with number 22?

Uh I couldn't speak to that directly to know if those individuals do have specific uh kind of a trespassing order on them.

If I if I may, I I believe that uh the suspects in this case were unknown and are unknown.

They were unknown.

Correct.

I guess I'm not understanding because it states that they were back inside and they were known to have attempted to steal merchandise.

Maybe police um if the police department could clarify one second, ma'am.

I'll meet it real quick.

Item 22, correct?

Yes.

While he's looking at that, just so you know, part of the reason I'm even asking that is because I just want to make sure that you all and your security are taking every measure, every step that is legally available to you to help to um attempt to lessen some of the necessity um for police.

I know people don't always observe the trespassing um stuff, but the more things you can do to make it um difficult for them to keep coming back, um, the better.

And I just want to make sure that you all are doing that when possible.

Agreed.

Yes, and we do do take advantage of that when possible.

Um I I don't have the police report in front of me, but my understanding in that situation, just based off of the summary there would be that we recognized or the people in the building recognized these people from previous infraction that earlier that day or prior the previous day, something along those lines.

Not necessarily that we're known people.

Um, like we had an affiliation with them or knew their um, but it says that they were they were asked to be removed, which makes me believe that when police came, they were still there.

So even if you did not have their names or know who they were previously, it is at that time that you could try to do the trespassing for the future.

So I'm just trying to see if you all did that.

Yeah, gotcha.

Okay, yeah, I said I see that it says security requests of the subjects to be removed.

So madam chance to I'm sorry.

Uh it's a known shop for but not known by name were they present when the police came one second.

What and we can and we can uh proceed.

I don't want to hold up too much time on it, but again, I'm just trying to make sure that when possible, you all are exercising everything you can do to help to prevent the necessity of the police department.

Um in this case, in my mind, if you physically had a people there and the police are there, you should be able to get the information necessary to do a trespassing um for the future.

But madam chair, he can still look for that, but I don't want to hold up anymore because I don't want to be there.

Are there any neighbors present who wish to testify?

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

Um again, send the sixth automatic district.

I do have one question before I give any uh rest of my comments.

Um for the attorney and uh um Zach, are you a manager?

What's your position?

Uh one of the operations directors.

Okay.

What security firm do y'all use?

Uh we actually just switched recently.

Uh I think within two weeks ago.

Um we switched to ProSeger is our new company.

Um how many officers do you have on at a given time?

Security officers do you have on at a given time?

Uh we have we have one all day.

Is that person stationed somewhere in the store?

Typically stationed towards the front where we see the most activity, uh, but they will do kind of periodic walks throughout the building.

Um kind of just making sure there's touch points on kind of exit every exit within the building as well.

Why did you shift companies?

Wait till break.

Uh it's kind of a national upput to be able to shift um and just consolidate companies that we have across the country.

Yeah.

All right.

Um this is the audience closest to my house.

I frequented it.

I've been there to watch security chase, somebody who's dealing.

Um, out of there.

Um, when I was there, the security was not at the front.

Um I would be in 30 years.

I recognize how vital grocery stores are to our community.

Um, but what I would encourage the operations guy, I would encourage y'all to monitor how the security operates.

Um, because I happen to believe that um this is preventable.

It may not be you all's fault per se, but I think when you have good security, um thieves know that.

Um, and they might be less intrigued to steal from your location.

Um, so I would just encourage all to monitor security, make sure they don't get too comfortable and that they they are truly securing um the location.

With that, um, you know, they seem to work well with the police department um when incidents do occur.

I would encourage you all to to continue to do trespassing or whatever you need to do against folks who are perpetual um thieves.

Um, and with that, um, I would just uh hope that you all would do a um approval of the food license with um yeah, approval of the food license.

Oh, sure.

Okay, honor Jackson.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Um, are you amenable to update your plan of operation to include security?

Is it not on there?

It's not on there.

It's not on there.

Thank you.

Attorney.

Mr.

Maxwell, you're muted.

I'm sorry.

Um, we updated it during uh the council meeting last year, so it should have that on there.

If not, we are more than willing to update it now.

All right, I would like to update the plan of operation for all these to include a security guard all day open and close.

Is it questioning?

9 30 to 8 30 is the official times.

There is a note saying uh for their abatement plan, it's called police, other security manager approaches customers, and then operational hours are not conducive to noise problems.

That was it.

So there's no security, it just it's state security, but that doesn't state how many or the time frame.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay.

So the motion by Otterman Jackson says to amend the plan of operation to reflect security from open to close.

Uh any objections to that motion.

Madam Chair, I just want uh acknowledgement from the applicant that they would like to make that amendment.

Uh John and Zach, you are are you okay with making that adding that to the plan of operation?

Yeah, the official times just for guard services would be 9 30 to 8 30.

Okay.

Um just if that helps.

Okay.

So the plan of operation is amended to a M PM.

AM 9 30.

9 30 a.m.

to 8 30 p.m.

correct.

Okay.

Yes, so I make the motion to include.

So the motion timing exactly the motion by Otterman Jackson is to amend the plan of operation to reflect security from 9 30 a.m.

to 8 30 p.m.

every day.

Um objections to a motion, hearing seeing none.

So order.

And I think we're in committee.

It's committee have a motion.

Approval.

Motion Otterman Jackson is approval as amended.

Hearing saying no objections, so order.

Thank you.

All right.

Okay, I'll take the gavel back from Madam Vice Chair.

We'll move on to our 1050 a.m.

agenda item.

My name uh is Danny O'Pinya.

My address is 3343 Arthur Avenue, Rookfield, Illinois.

60513.

Thank you.

Rudy, Rudy Kwayan, 4415 Highway 6 South.

Sugarland, Texas, 77479.

Thank you.

All right, Ms.

Lopez, are there any holds?

No holds.

Sergeant Cornejo, is there a police report?

Uh 7325 at 814 p.m.

Walking police were dispatched to a total subject.

The business call regarding the subject causing a disturbance.

However, the subject was gone on police arrival on 1020 25 at 845 p.m.

Walking police were dispatched to welfare check.

The business call regarding a subject undressing and refusing to leave.

The subject left prior to police arrival on 6146 at 748 p.m.

Walkie police were dispatched to a theft.

The business call regarding an employee who was stealing money.

The manager did not have all the pertinent information and stated they would file a report at a later date.

Thank you.

Would you like to speak to the police report?

Yeah, I'll speak to that briefly.

So we are appreciative of the police's responses to our employees' concerns, and glad that employees do contact the police when customers are either in need of help or to ensure that the store is safe and secure for both staff and employees.

As for the last item on the report, uh cash shortage is what kind of triggered that call into the police.

Um and we have high standards for cash management.

So the manager on duty who is responsible for um making sure the cash count was correct, was terminated for failure to uphold that's high standard that we hold.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Questions from committee members on the police report?

Questions from Elder Woman Cogs on the police report?

Yeah, I do.

I do have a question about um item 10.

Um, what is the protocol within the company for if an employee uh was stealing money?

Like how is that supposed to be handled?

Yes, the fall, as far as the policy is concerned, um, they're obviously going to do an investigation to determine if that is um in fact true.

Um, and here a cash shortage is clear that there had been some theft that occurred, and it is the responsibility of the manager to uphold that.
