08 CURIEL, Juan C Class B Tavern and Public Entertainment Premises License
Renewal Applications for "EL TORO BRAVO" at 2039 W NATIONAL Av. (Expires
4/8/2016)
Appearing with the applicant:
Atty. Michael Chernin stated the applicant allowed another operator to continue to run
his bar which created problems, and that operator and security guard have since
been terminated. He added that the applicant and his family will solely operate the
premises. He stated there was an attempted lease agreement for the premises
between the applicant and another individual, but the deal fell through. The business
and licenses were not being rented. He requested a 60 day suspension instead of
nonrenewal.
The applicant stated when he ran the business there were no problems and that is
what he is doing now.
Individual also present:
Ald. Donovan stated he has serious concerns and does not support renewal for this
operator because it is not in the best interest of the neighborhood or the district. He
added the applicant rents the business out for other people to run and it probably is
not legal. He stated he had met with another applicant who had signed a lease with
this applicant to rent the premises and obtain his own licenses, but the deal fell
through because someone else offered more money to lease the business. The
police report is also concerning with the prostitution and underage drinking. He stated
this is a problem in the city where people rent their licenses out for other people to
City of Milwaukee Page 10
LICENSES COMMITTEE Meeting Minutes March 15, 2016
run their business.
Individuals present in support:
Andrea Curiel 2039 W National Ave stated every time there is a problem with the bar
she has called the police and she supports her father.
Juan Carlos Curiel 2039 W National Ave stated his father's bar has never had
problems until he started having different renters at his business. He added that he is
not really involved in his father's business and he believed the manager who was
terminated was renting the business. But clarified that he meant the manager runs
the business, not rents the business.
Three additional individuals were present in support.
Ald. Stamper moved approval with a 60 day suspension based on police report and
applicant testimony. (Failed 2-2, Alds. Kovac and Puente voting no) Ald. Kovac stated
the police report is not enough to warrant a 60 day suspension because the case for
progressive discipline isn't there, however the allegations of a collusive arrangement,
the applicant's inability to speak English half way through his testimony, his son's
testimony regarding the manager or tenant, and the request for a 60 day suspension
is troubling as to whether the applicant can be trusted.
Ald. Kovac moved nonrenewal based on the police report and applicant's son,
applicant, and aldermanic testimony. (Prevailed 3-1, Ald. Puente voting no)
A motion was made by ALD. KOVAC that this Motion be AMENDED. This
