ITEM 4. SHOW CAUSE HEARING
Tavern License
County Cork Bar & Lounge, Inc.
d/b/a County Cork Bar & Lounge
Mr. Kennebeck told the Authority a complaint was issued against this licensee
for a conduct of establishment violation that occurred on August 29, 2004. The
city and the licensee have reached a stipulation, but she would like to explain
in mitigation a few aspects of her purchase of the corporation.
Retta Marlene Allen, 11244 W. 18th Ave., appeared before the Authority and was
sworn in. Ms. Allen told the Authority she will stipulate to the violation occurring.
Mr. Wisneski moved to accept the stipulation between the Deputy City Attorney and County Cork Bar & Lounge, Inc., d/b/a County Cork Bar & Lounge. The motion was seconded, and with those present voting aye, THE MOTION TO ACCEPT THE STIPULATION CARRIED.
Ms. Allen testified she was purchasing the corporation and going through the approval process when this violation occurred. She was unaware of the violation until she was served the summons and complaint from the Liquor Inspector. Since taking over, she has installed a security system with cameras, replaced bartenders, and had closed early for the first six weeks to get rid of the riffraff. Ms. Allen said she had previously owned a bar in Montrose and never had a violation in that time. All the people involved in this incident are no longer involved with the bar or allowed into the bar.
The public hearing was closed.
The Authority members discussed the matter between themselves and agreed that since Ms. Allen was not in charge, nor in control of the establishment at the time of the violation, there would be no sanctions imposed upon the licensee.
Ms. Hansson moved that no suspension be imposed against County Cork Bar & Lounge, Inc., d/b/a County Cork Bar & Lounge located at 11810 W. Colfax Ave. The motion was seconded and with those present voting aye, THE MOTION TO IMPOSE NO SANCTION CARRIED.
ITEM 5. GENERAL BUSINESS
There was no general business to discuss.
ITEM 6. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Authority, Chairman Taake
adjourned the meeting at 7:30 p.m.
