He will come to neighborhood meetings Appearing with the applicant: Javon Terry - 3041 W North Ave - He states MPD statements are always incorrect. His nickname is Chris and he is the individual referred to in item #3 of the police report. His brother owns the establishment. He's not affiliated with the business so was not aware of closing times. He didn't count the people in the establishment, so he was not sure how many were inside. He asked the police officers how to comply. Shannon Smith - 6646 W Charles Ct, Franklin - Operations Manager - He joined the City of Milwaukee Page 15 LICENSES COMMITTEE Meeting Minutes January 27, 2015 business recently. The night of the police incident he greeted officers with respect and was looking to follow their orders. He wasn't aware that they were supposed to close at 1 AM. He didn't count patrons so can neither agree nor disagree with the count, but it seemed high. They are looking to change hours so they can comply. He and security staff walk patrons out to cars and they want to work with police. Also appearing: Officer Scott Lesniewski - Milwaukee Police Department Captain Jason Smith - Milwaukee Police Department - Officers always try to identify the agent or person in charge when entering an establishment. Javon "Chris" Terry stepped forward to facilitate the conversation. As district commander he is supposed to foster and sustain businesses. Part of that is building relationships with licensees and building a safe environment for residents. MPD works with neighborhood associations to mitigate illegal activity in the area and states neighbors would like to see the establishment involved. He wants active lines of communication between the applicant and the police department. Individuals appearing in support: Antonio Felder - 2245 N 31st St - He has been in the neighborhood for about 10 years and he has seen improvement. Previous concerns have been eliminated. Arlene McLoren - 136 W Meineke - She states she was in the establishment 11/15/14 and 11/17/14 and she believes there were not 100 people in the establishment. Ben Cooper - 6712 N 84th St - He has been working for Mr. Terry and is now the second manager of the club. He states he has experience with many establishments and this is the best establishment in the city. People feel safe in the establishment. Ald.
