She stated that the incident with the bottle being thrown looked like a patron who just threw the bottle and she doesn't know what provoked it. She added that normally she keeps track of patrons with the counter and the person who allowed the over capacity is no longer working at the premises. She added that incident #6 in the police report was an incident between ex-girlfriends. She stated that she has 2 staff members she is grooming to be in charge when she is gone. Appearing with the applicant: Atty. Jason Luczak stated that the response to the incident should be taken in to consideration and was appropriate. He added that the premises shut down immediately after the shooting to discuss changes that should be made with the staff and police. He added that the applicant should get credit for shutting down for 10 days, and the 25 employees are going to be affected by a suspension. Individual also present: Ald. Bauman stated there have been 3 incidents of violence inside the bar. He stated there is continuing disorder and he understands the reason the applicant wasn't around for the overcapacity and gunplay. He stated that there seems to be a consistent pattern of violence and disorder and he recommends a 30 day suspension. Individual present in opposition: Cpt. Rowe stated she is concerned about the November 4th incident with the 17 year old and 18 year old patrons, and being more than 150 persons over capacity. She added with the shots fired incident things could have been a lot worse. Individuals present in support: Lauren Bellen 2637 N Maryland Ave stated she is a bartender and has never felt unsafe. She added that the night of the shooting it was busier than normal. She stated that when the applicant is gone the former employees didn't follow the rules and those staff were fired after the November incident. She stated on that all IDs and bags are checked now and there are staff meetings every night. Yesenia Garcia 3218 W Greenfield Ave stated she is a waitress and the shooter was not a regular and he was agitating other guests. She stated that she told security and a fight broke out, then the shooting happened. She added that the applicant is at the door checking IDs and security asks if everything is ok. She stated that she feels safer now that there is new security. Robert Simonton 9011G N 95th St stated he works the door at the premises and has been in the business for 18 years. He stated he does security, but someone else does the patron count. He stated that he patted down the shooter. He added that security has meetings before and after the premises is open. He stated that the dress code is printed and posted and includes no baggy clothes, no baseball caps, and no athletic gear.
