2a. Consider/approve Directing Clerk to begin the “Class B” License Revocation Process for Magna
LLC (The Dugout):
Coenen stated during the annual licensing renewal process Council requested staff monitor the “Class B”
operations for Magna, LLC dba The Dugout located at 965 Cannongate Road due to concerns the business
was not open. The Police Department conducted almost daily tavern checks in July, August, September
and part of October and found The Dugout not open for business during any of the checks. Our Municipal
Code states that suspension or cessation of business for a period of 90 consecutive days or more
constitutes cause for revocation. Coenen said if the Committee wants to proceed with the revocation
process, she would draft a complaint outlining the ordinance violation, prepare a Summons and Notice of
Hearing to be delivered to the licensee to appear before Council. The hearing could occur as soon as
November 5, 2019 or anytime thereafter.
Motion by Spiegelberg to direct the Clerk to start the revocation process for Magna, LLC, dba The Dugout
located at 965 Cannongate Road and set the hearing date for November 19, 2019; second by Rogers.
Motion carried 3-0.

BACKGROUND
During the annual alcohol licensing renewal process in June 2019, Council requested that staff monitor the “Class
B” licensed establishment for Magna, LLC, dba The Dugout, located at 965 Cannongate Road to determine if the
business is operational. The Police Department conducted daily tavern checks during the months of July, August
and September 2019 and found The Dugout was not open for business at any time. Our Municipal Code, Section
12.04(l) states that suspension or cessation of business for a period of 90 consecutive days or more constitutes
cause for revocation.
If the Protection and Welfare Committee wants to proceed with the revocation process, the Clerk would draft a
Complaint outlining the ordinance violation, prepare a Notice of Hearing which sets the time/date a hearing will
be held before Council and prepare the Summons to be delivered to the licensee to appear before Council. The
hearing could occur as soon as November 5, 2019 or anytime thereafter.
