2/25/2020)
The applicant stated the premises has been open since 2000 and she has explained
herself for every incident in the police report. She added that the fact that the alderman
was unaware the premises was open in unfortunate and speaks to poor
communication. She stated that they have 3 pool teams and 2 dart clubs, and they're
only open Thursday-Sunday. She stated that the 12 people in the premises after hours
were family members, people cleaning and the DJ, and their significant others; they
were not patrons. She added that she knows nothing about the incident with the

LICENSES COMMITTEE Meeting Minutes February 19, 2020
of the random public, not regulars, that come in and cause a problem for bar owners.
She added that they have security outside and inside and they abide by the law. She
stated that the shooting in 2008 was just her standing outside and someone was
randomly shooting who wasn't associated with the premises. She added that she
cannot be responsible for people outside just shooting, because she operates a good
business and works hard. She stated that she told MPD in November that she would
look into hiring professional security and installing cameras. She added that after the
shooting they closed for a week. She stated they don't make a lot of money and
security systems cost money. She stated that she doesn't know who Mr. Garner is.
She added that she doesn't have employees, just people contracted from the
neighborhood to DJ and do security, but she doesn't know their government names
and pays them cash. She stated that she doesn't know who was at the bar on the day
of the shooting. She added that she has a ma and pa bar and she knows all the
patrons because they are coworkers of hers or her children at their regular jobs. She
stated that she's not lax in her management and that the shooting has affected the
reputation her bar. She added that she's never been cited, ticketed, or suspended
because they've only had issues periodically. She stated that they wand people, pat
them down, talk to them, and don't overserve their patrons.
Individual also present:
Dameon Ellzey - 15th District Legislative Assistant stated in 2008 the applicant was
shot, there was 4 years of inactivity, and in 2013 there were several battery incidents.
He added that he was shocked to see the premises open last year because they
thought it was closed and residents have complained. He stated that there are cars
and people outside with red cups when the premises is open. He added that for the last
13 years these types of incidents have been occurring. He stated that things haven't
improved and the premises doesn't have cameras, even after the shootings. He stated
Ald. Stamper recommends nonrenewal. He added that the atmosphere is fostering this
type of disruptive activity.
Ald. Kovac stated an employee killing an employee on the sidewalk is bad enough. He
added that the applicant not knowing anyone's name, not having employees, and just
paying people cash has left a deep impression on him.
Ald. Coggs stated that she recognizes that things happen, and asked what the plan of
abatement was to prevent the issues from occurring further. She added that the belief
in the applicant to properly manage the premises safely in concerning and her
responses are troubling. She stated that to not know the names of the contractors or
employees that business is done with, or were present on very specific days that major
incidents occurred, makes it difficult to have confidence in the management of the
premises. She added that
Ald. Lewis asked why it has taken so long to implement the recommendations from
MPD. She stated that it is concerning and problematic because another incident could
have occurred since November. She added that not having any plans or things in place
shows that the applicant isn't being proactive.
Ald. Spiker stated this shooting may have been self-defense, but with no professional
security service or knowing who is being hired, there's no confidence that something
like this won't happen again in the future.
Ald. Spiker moved nonrenewal based on the police report, and applicant and
aldermanic testimony. (Prevailed 5-0)
