(expires 10/22/2013) Atty. Andrew Arena Scott Dutton - 4565 S. Whitnall Ave. - Digital Forensic Specialist Mr. Fischer - investigator Captain Juticky Jackson - 7th District Assistant City Attorney Nick DeSiato Items 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30 and 31 are being contested in court, so any committee action will not be based upon these items. Asst. City Attorney DeSiato objects as officers are present to testify, so this matter was left open and the committee will hear that testimony. On item #22 in the police report, refers to Marcus Nuell, the licensee's son, not the licensee. The committee so stipulates. Ald. Kovac moves to make the binder provided by Atty. Arena part of the record. Prevailed. 5-0 (Exhibit 1) Ald. Wade at the table - he is not in support of lowering the age limit. Captain Jackson said that All Stars continues to be a problem with a number of violent crimes and continues to use a lot ofpolice resources. He feels that because of bad management individuals with weapons are able to enter the tavern and there are numerous incidents of overcapacity - once 98 individuals and once 81 individuals, and that leads to more fights and escalating violence. His other concern is loitering outside the establishment. He does not support lowering the age requirement at this establishment. Atty. Arena noted that no guns have been fired inside the establishment and that individuals with guns are removed from the establishment. Item #33 in the police report actually occurred across the street and All Stars management was unaware of any problems occurring across the street. Sgt. Tom Lieske - 7th district - testified that he has gone to the establishment nearly City of Milwaukee Page 10 LICENSES COMMITTEE Meeting Minutes October 1, 2013 every weekend for over a year. He has seen, on numerous occassions, overcapacity, a metal detector that isn't used, nor do they wand individuals and they miss weapns on pat-downs, which are later found. They have let individuals under 25 into the establishment and have traffic issues after closing. Overcapacity causes public safety concerns, the possibility that security staff may be overwhelmed, and overall congestion at closing. He was present when 5 incidents of overcapacity were ticketed; he feels they were all valid tickets. There were no cases in which it was suspected they were overcapacity and a full-blown count was done and they weren't overcapacity. His other concern is letting in individuals in who are under the age of 25. Atty. Arena noted that a full-blown count isn't verified by a second officer counting as well. He is concerned that the video surveillance from the bar does not show that counting procedures were being performed in the manner in which police said they were being performed. Ms. Nuell says that she has 12 cameras and all of them are operational. For those 5 nights in which the bar was cited for overcapacity, the investigator calculated capacity from the video (when available - one night was not available), and the establishment, per his calculations, was always undercapacity. The commtttee watched various videos from the establishment'svideo. Ald. Kovac moved to make the pictures provided by Atty. Arena from the police department part of the record. Prevailed. 5-0 (Exhibit 2) Police Officer Brian LaRoque - District 7 - deals with All Stars on a weekly basis. The establishment does have a parking lot, but customers also park on the street. He has responded to a shots-fired call after a patron was denied access, an altercation across the street, and another shots-fired report on three separate occasions. Security at the establishment did not call police for the last incident,which involved a patron leaving the establishment. On mutiple occasions, the security guards at the door didn't know what the patron count was, or what the capacity of the establishment was. Ms. Nuelll said that that was the first night those security guards were working. Supporters: Marcus Nuell - 8135 W. Mariel Place - oversees All Stars or DJs if needed, and assists security. They got new security right after shooting by the individual in the red car and the security force is now more diligent in all respects. Mr. Nuell was present during all 5 counts in question and never saw the police perform a full count in the manner in which they said they did. Jason Beverly - 4900 N. 58th St. - works security at All Stars. He has observed the counting, but said the sergeant stands by the front door and the side door and alley are blocked off. The police start at the front of the bar. He can't expain how a patron got through with a gun. Trinaga Smart - 3286 N.40th St. - she goes to the establishment approximately twice a month. She doesn't really see any problems or hear any noise. She doesn't see exiting patrons loitering, except for maybe 10 minutes, but there are also patrons from Gene's. She has never observed officers at the establishment. City of Milwaukee Page 11 LICENSES COMMITTEE Meeting Minutes October 1, 2013 Ms. Nuell said that they are upgarding the camera system, added security personnel, and the police department did a security survey. They also use cones and staff to block off streets to deal with indiividuals who cruise the area. The police said she could not use the cones. Asst. City Attorney DeSiiato noted that the licensee does have felony and municipal violatons which were not listed on her alcohol application. Per Sgt. Raden, Ms. Nuell was cited for not being truthful on her notarized application for the establishment off Highway 100 (which was a new application).
