He has management experience in other states. He was working security during many of the incidents listed on the police report. When a woman was shot on December 5, 2014, he was aware that shots were fired, but unaware that anyone had been struck. The victim drove herself to the hospital and most of the staff had left the premises by the time that the police officers arrived. Individuals appearing: Assistant City Attorney Nick Desiato Officer Lisa Saffold - She states she has been the Community Liaison Officer in the area for 5 years. There were no problems at the establishment for the first three to four years, but there have been several violent crimes in the last year and a half. O fficer Bryan Larock - He responded to the responded to the shooting on December 5. The victim had driven herself to hospital, so the Police Department responded to the hospital first and then went to the establishment. Shells were recovered in the church parking lot next door.

There has been a lot of litter and he is concerned about further damage from the establishment. Kera Williams - 4726 W Villard Ave - Her niece was shot in December. She had to drive herself to the hospital and no one in the establishment helped. Her 14 year old daughter was walking a dog when the outdoor shooting occurred. Litter from the establishment has been a problem. Laquanda Johnson - 4825 W Villard Ave - Noise and police sirens have been waking up her children. There is also litter in her yard from the establishment. Henry Davis - He is the block watch captain and has lived in the area for 32 years. He has not experienced issues with the establishment until recently. There has been litter and noise. Jeanette Carson Davis - There have been changes in the establishment over the years. It was previously a quieter establishment with an older patronage. Now there is noise and there have been shots fired. She is especially concerned with violence because of the amount of children who live in the area. Mercedes Blackman - She lives across the street from the establishment. She has lived there for four years. The establishment used to have an older, quiet crowd, but lately there have been problems with noise and litter. Individuals appearing in support: James Howell - 4923 W Villard Ave - He believes the new applicant will be able to prevent some of the issues mentioned by previous speakers. Ricky Ferguson - 1322 Milwaukee Ave - He has patronized the establishment frequently. He states the problems are not unique to the establishment, but increased security will help prevent further issues. Terrance Houser - 3424 W Ripton - Incidents happen everywhere. He helps at the establishment and thinks the new ownership can improve the situation. City of Milwaukee Page 17 LICENSES COMMITTEE Meeting Minutes March 17, 2015 Ald. Hamilton - Neighbors are concerned for their personal safety. The operation of the establishment for the last year has changed the entire dynamics of the neighborhood.
