15 CLINCY, Terry D Class B Tavern and Public Entertainment Premises License
Renewal Applications for "Lorenzo's" at 1218 W Cherry St. (Expired 3/25/2020)
The applicant stated the police would come every weekend and the police report isn't
true. He added that he received tickets for overcapacity, but there was no way there
was 167 people in the premises. He stated that the police had not been to his bar for
2-3 years before last year. He added that now the police come to his bar every day. He
stated that 2 girls were fighting in the bar and they broke it up and closed the bar, but
then there was a shooting outside 10 minutes later. He added that they heard shots
but no one was outside when they went outside to look. He added that he has 3 armed
security guards. He stated that he has owned the premises for 14 years and never had
a problem. He added that all of the incidents happened in the last 3 months. He stated
that he doesn't understand the noise nuisance because there's no houses next to his
premises, and he's always had the same sound system. He added that the incidents
occurred in the area surrounding his premises. He stated that he drinks in the bar on
the weekends because the premises is not open during the week. He added that he's
probably just going to start closing at midnight and will not drink while his business is
open. He stated that he hasn't had any police contact since the meeting at the district.
He added that everybody needs a chance and that he can change.
Individuals also present:
Dameon Ellzey - 15th District Legislative Assistant stated Ald. Stamper is concerned
about the safety of the public. He added that the safety of the public is not being
considered when the applicant is intoxicated every time the police come to check. He
stated that the trajectory of the incidents taking place, including the shooting in March,
after all the police contacts leads Ald. Stamper to believe that there won't be a
change. He added that the management of the premises has gone down and doesn't
believe the safety of the public is a priority for the applicant. He stated that Ald.
Stamper requests nonrenewal.
Individual present in opposition:
Capt. Norman stated this premises has had overcapacity and noise nuisance issues.
He added that he instructed his officers to pay attention to the bar because of the
complaints about noise, loitering, and other nuisance behavior. He stated that every
time officers make contact with the applicant, he is intoxicated. He added that every
time his officers spoke with the applicant the contacts were always negative. He stated
that this behavior is unacceptable from a business owner. He added that there is a
concern that the applicant was unaware of what is going on at the premises because
he was intoxicated. He stated that it wasn't a matter of if, but when a serious incident
would occur; and then there was a triple shooting. He added that he believes the
applicant will not change his behavior and he requests nonrenewal. He stated that he
points out the problems, but does not tell applicants what to do or how to run their
premises. He added that tavern checks have occurred after the meeting at the district.
Ald. Lewis stated she is uncomfortable with the applicant's responses of the
conspiracy theory and it is rare for a captain to come forward and ask for nonrenewal.
She added that the applicant doesn't have a plan of abatement or any type of way to
improve operations. She stated there have been so many incidents and it doesn't
seem that the applicant is taking ownership of the problems.
Ald. Lewis moved nonrenewal based on the police report, and applicant, aldermanic,
and police testimony. (Prevailed 5-0)

Appearing on behalf of the applicant:
Atty. Josh Gimbel stated the premises has tried to cut down on the loitering activities.

turnover, and ability to keep a manager. He stated this is an important business for
the neighborhood and the premises is serving an important purpose in this COVID-19
times. He added that Ald. Bauman has a bias against this national chain and he is
giving this store a death sentence. He stated that now the neighbors won't have a

He stated that this is an essential business in the neighborhood. He added that the
managers will do everything in their power to immediately address the concerns and
bring them to the attention of corporate headquarters.
Harry Susman stated he's the district manager, he oversees 11 stores and is aware of
the past issues. He added that he has reached out to the Near West Side Partners via
email and meet with Ald. Bauman during a neighborhood walk. He stated that he has
reached out to corporate about the issues and is willing to have weekly meetings. He
added that they restriped the parking lot, installed new coolers and freezers, installed a
brick facade to abate loitering issues, and employ a full time armed security guard. He
stated that he has tried to hire residents but it has been be hard. He added that he
hears from the community how vital the premises is. He stated that he wants to get to
the root cause of the issues and find sustainable solutions. He added that there can
be daily maintenance and trash clean up of the parking lot 3-4 times a day. He stated
that with loitering security tries to get patrons to move along, but sometimes they
become combative. He added 8 months ago Ald. Bauman expressed to him his
frustrations with the premises.
Denelle Gordon stated she is the new regional manager and has been to the premises.
She added that this premises is a valuable location to the neighborhood and they just
added new coolers to the premises. She stated they will address the issues with the
building to the best of their ability because they do not own the premises, but they can
update the lighting and security services. She added that this location is the second
highest SNAP benefit store in the company, and residents need to purchase products
to service their home needs. She stated that she has been with the company for 7
years and she is here to stay. She added that she is at the premises a half day to full
day once every two weeks.
Mindy Yoho stated she was the previous manager at the 13th St & Oklahoma Ave.
She stated she ran a clean building and wants to bring her skills to this location, and
hire good quality people.
Individual also present:
Ald. Bauman stated the store manager should be present to address these issues. He
added that this corporation could care less about this store and they would never know
they lost this store. He stated there is fighting, shoplifting, loitering, littering, drug
dealing, and other nuisance activities. He added that his neighbors and his wife shop
at this premises. He stated that last year he heard the same excuses and there are
now other businesses can supply most of the same products. He added that the lack
of management leads to the issues in at the premises. He recommends nonrenewal for
the benefit of the community.
Individuals present in opposition:

neighborhood, however there have been constant issues with facade, landscaping,
litter, lighting, management, and security. He added that there are also broken
windows, graffiti, trash, and lack of maintenance of the parking lot and landscaping.

security response. He stated that he's objecting to this renewal because of the
management of the store. He added that there is no social distancing occurring at the
premises. He stated that this is the main area of loitering in the 900 block of 27th
Street.
Bobby McQuay - Near West Side Partners stated he has checked in on the premises
10-15 times in the last year to make purchases and check out the store. He added
that he has safety concerns for residents shopping at the premises because it doesn't
seem that management has a handle on activities at the premises. He stated that he
has asked employees to take out the trash and clean up the litter in the parking lot.
He added that he has been told by employees that they cannot clean up the parking
lot. He stated that he's not sure who the manager is from one month to the next. He
added that he is concerned about employees fighting patrons in the store. He stated
that he doesn't think the management cares about the safety of the people shopping
at the premises. He added that there are people hanging out in the parking lot and
security guards talking with patrons outside the store for long periods of time.
Capt. Norman stated there are issues relating to loitering and upkeep of the premises.
He added the premises became a nuisance property in August 2019. He stated there
are issues with consistency of the management of the premises. He added that a lot of
his resources are being used to intervene in fights, chronic loitering, and shoplifting
activities. He stated that he is in support of a heavy suspension or nonrenewal. He
added that communication with the district has been a challenge and the parking lot is
not being maintained. He stated that a big issue is that there's more cameras outside
than inside.
Ald. Lewis stated there is always the same type of issues at these locations and the
premises is beneficial to the company. She added that this should be a good, healthy,
and safe environment for customers, but there have only been changes in leadership.
Ald. Borkowski stated management is taking this store for granted, and they should
be having weekly meetings with Ald. Bauman, Capt. Norman, and Near West Side
Partners.
Ald. Kovac stated last year the Committee was told the landscaping, loitering, and
littering would improve, and nothing has changed. He added that these issues have
been effecting the neighborhood on a daily basis and there is a lack of accountability.

01 NELSON, Beverly M Class B Tavern and Public Entertainment Premises License
Renewal Applications for "The Cheetah Club" at 5048 N 35TH St. (Expired 4/12/2020)
Appearing with the applicant:
Atty. Jason Luczak stated he is working out the business arrangement between the
applicant and Mr. Ray. He added that there is an abatement plan and that the
premises has been closed since the March 8th shooting. He stated that night there
was a DJ that brought his own security that lead to issues with weapons getting in to
the premises. He added that they will no longer allow people to provide their own
security, be purchasing metal detectors, ID scanners, will be hiring a different security
company, will notify District 7 of any large events that are occurring, and will be
enforcing their no weapons policy. He stated that this has been a business that has
been running for a very long time and has only received a warning letter in 2016. He
added that they accept responsibility for the incident and want to improve going
forward. He stated that he would like a substantial suspension because the video is
disturbing. He added that the there is a reverse incentive for businesses to provide
video because it can be used against their license. He stated that the applicant and
Mr. Ray were cooperative and are willing to do anything to keep the premises open. He
added that the incident is egregious and the Committee should not impose the worst
penalty possible.
Michael Ray 4750 N Hopkins St stated he apologizes for the situation that happened,
but all he can do is ask for help. He added that he will give MPD access to his
cameras and he deserves another chance because he's never been involved in a
venue of this size before. He stated that he is willing to do whatever is necessary. He
added the agreement was supposed to change months ago but there have been
issues with the applicant's sole proprietorship. He stated that it's not fair to be
punished after the first incident because he doesn't have the chance to rectify the
situation.
Individual also present:
Andrea Pratt - 1st District Legislative Assistant stated Ald. Hamilton is not in support
of the renewal because of the March 8th incident on the video.
The meeting recessed at 4:21 PM
The meeting reconvened at 4:37 PM
Ald. Hamilton stated the video showed a dancer not properly dressed, an underage
person in the premises, and the number of people that were in possession of firearms
inside the premises. He added that he couldn't even count the number of people while
firearms and there was shooting inside the premises and outside. He stated that the
underage patron was a central player in the shooting, was over served, and needed
help leaving the premises. He added that he has been in contact with the applicant and
he has a long standing relationship with the premises. He stated that this single
shooting incident justifies nonrenewal, and he does not have the confidence that the
current management can fix these issues. He added that the plan of action is not
detailed enough to deal with the issues that occurred in the video. He stated that
people felt comfortable being in the premises with firearms and the dancer's clothing

violations were accepted. He added that there is a sense of lawlessness that spills
over in to the neighborhood.
Capt. Murphy stated he agrees with Ald. Hamilton and there seemed to be a collusive
agreement between the applicant and Mr. Ray. He stated the incident was egregious
and he's surprised that more people weren't shot.
Ald. Kovac stated he hasn't seen the video and this is less about the video and more
about the over served and underage patron being a central participant in the incident.
He added that this is likely to happen again under current management.
Ald. Kovac moved nonrenewal based on the police report, and aldermanic, police, and
applicant testimony. (Prevailed 5-0)
