Deputy City Attorney Paul Kennebeck explained to the Authority that this complaint was the result of alcohol service after hours. C.R.S. 12-47-901(5)(b)(I) allows alcohol service for a Tavern License between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. On December 1, 2003, at approximately 6:25 a.m. police agents discovered patrons in the bar and drinking alcohol. Mr. Kennebeck said he has talked to the owner about this matter, who will stipulate to the violation.
Tom Wilmering, PO Box 3096, El Dorado Springs, CO, appeared before the Authority and was sworn in. He said he would stipulate to the violation.
Mr. Wisneski moved that the stipulation between the City Attorney and JHTW, Inc., d/b/a Whiskey Bills be accepted for the Tavern License at 7290 W. Colfax Ave. The motion was seconded and with those present voting Aye, THE MOTION TO ACCEPT THE STIPULATION CARRIED.
Mr. Wilmering testified he had purchased the bar last year with a partner whose responsibility was the day-to-day management. He said he is currently trying to remove this partner and take a more proactive role in managing this business. Both the bartender and waitress involved in this incident have both terminated their employment with this license. Mr. Wilmering stated that all employees have now attended the City's Alcohol Awareness Training Program.
Public Testimony was closed.
Ms. Hansson moved the following penalty be imposed: a suspension of five days with four days held in abeyance for one year commencing February 27, 2004. The balance of the suspension to begin at 7:00 a.m. on February 27, 2004, and end at 7:00 a.m. February 28, 2004. The motion was seconded and with those present voting Aye, THE PENALTY MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Wilmering asked the Authority to allow him to pay a fine in lieu of the one-day suspension.
