AUTERI: Back on the record at 7:13. 8 Mr. Gonzalez, the floor is yours. 9 MR. GONZALEZ: For the record, Ramon 10 Gonzalez, ABC prosecutor. 11 Good evening, Mayor and Commissioners, 12 there's two matters on today. The first one is 13 Griffin Concepts. As a result of a conflict I 14 have with this particular applicant, I've asked 15 the municipal prosecutor T.J. Legg to fill in for 16 me. They are represented by Christina Vergara. 17 This is actually an application that's 18 being made to take out one of the conditions that 19 was originally placed in and that was 12:00, we 20 said it would be revisited. But I think 21 Lieutenant Dunlay and Mr. Legg can represent to 22 the board. 23 MR. LEGG: Good evening Mayor and 24 Council, it's a pleasure to appear before you. 25 That's correct, this was approximately over a year  21 1 ago when the conditions were first placed. The 2 Lieutenant will speak to whether there's been any 3 violations on the property. And I defer to the 4 Board as to whether to continue with those 5 conditions or approve the application for removal 6 of the conditions. 7 LIEUTENANT DUNLAY: On behalf of the 8 police department, we do not have an objection. 9 We don't have any objection to removing the 10 special condition. Actually, Mr. McBride and Ms. 11 Griffin have been actually models in running their 12 business, where it's actually become a location 13 where a lot of people in the local area and from 14 surrounding areas actually frequent the place a 15 lot. And we've had zero incidents where we had no 16 calls for service, no quality of life issues. So 17 on behalf of the police department, we don't think 18 that the restrictions are required at this time. 19 It wouldn't be something we wouldn't 20 mind revisiting later on in the event something 21 does happen. But as of right now, there's been no 22 issues. 23 MS. VERGARA: If I may, Mayor? Good 24 evening, Board and Mayor. I just want to clarify 25 that there were four restrictions we're seeking  22 1 specifically three of them and they do relate to 2 the service at 12:00 a.m. 3 One is about music. They're just 4 looking to play some background music. There's a 5 restrictions of no music and we have a local 6 artist, come in play the guitar. Nothing crazy, 7 they don't want it to be a club. And then just 8 the other one is they're now restricted to eight 9 individuals at the bar, they can fit -- I'm sorry, 10 I misspoke they're allowed nine, they can fit ten. 11 So they're just asking to allow the tenth person 12 to be able to be seated at the bar. 13 MR. AUTERI: Can we have your appearance 14 for the record? 15 MS. VERGARA: Yes, Christina, Vergara, 16 V-E-R-G-A-R-A, on behalf of Griffin Concepts, Fork 17 Hill Kitchen, owned by Ed McBride and Brenda 18 McBride, who are present. 19 MAYOR STACK: I know in the time that 20 the McBrides have owned the establishment, there's 21 been no issues at the establishment. I pass there 22 many times, I know there's no problems whatsoever. 23 Any Commissioners have any questions? 24 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: I'm nervous 25 about the music because that can go down a  23 1 slippery slope quickly, where you have a guitarist 2 come in and he's acoustic, then someone comes in 3 and they're electric and wants to be amplified, 4 then you add a drummer, before you know it, you 5 have a five piece band playing at the corner. 6 That's my only concern. 7 MS. VERGARA: I acknowledge your 8 concern. I do believe my client does acknowledge 9 that as well. When I say a guitarist, I mean a 10 simple -- we can limit it as well. But they 11 really just want to be able to play background 12 music mostly. That secondary part there was to 13 try to engage with more local artists, but they 14 don't want a twelve piece band. You know, they 15 want one individual or maybe potentially two tops, 16 that would come in on -- 17 MAYOR STACK: Just make sure when they 18 do that that the door is closed, any windows are 19 closed, so it doesn't disturb the neighborhood. 20 You have the building across the street, 1620. 21 You have couple buildings in the area, just to 22 be -- you know, to recognize that you are in the 23 neighborhood, and tight in the neighborhood. 24 MS. VERGARA: Of course, Mayor. 25 MAYOR STACK: Anything further?  24 1 COMMISSIONER MARTINETTI: I just want to 2 commend Fork Hill because during COVID, when we 3 had the plan going, they had fed us. And it was 4 so good to have a place where we can get good food 5 and they were always there for us. So thank you 6 so much for being there for us, and being open 7 during the pandemic when a lot of people didn't 8 have a place to go, you opened your doors. So 9 from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. And I 10 wish you good luck. 11 MAYOR STACK: Just stay involved with 12 the business, that's all I ask. Don't farm it 13 out, let anybody else run the business. Please 14 stay fully involved with the business. 15 MR. McBRIDE: We heard. 16 MAYOR STACK: I'll make the motion a 17 approve. 18 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: Second. 19 MR. AUTERI: Motion by Mayor Stack, 20 second by Commissioner Fernandez. 21 Commissioner Fernandez. 22 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: Yes. 23 MR.

GONZALEZ: The next matter is Centro 8 Bar, they are here and they're represented by Mr. 9 William Gonzalez. This is a pretty simple 10 application. She already owns 50 percent, all 11 she's doing is buying out the gentleman, Mario, 12 who owns the other 50 percent. She's the one 13 who's been working it, she's in charge. So it's 14 actually pretty simple. I know the police 15 department -- 16 MAYOR STACK: This is the bar that's on 17 the corner of 22nd -- no, this is 23rd, I'm sorry. 18 MR. GONZALEZ: No, no, that one's 19 closed. All she's doing is buying out the 20 interest of her partner. 21 MAYOR STACK: If you can enter your 22 appearance. 23 MR. W. GONZALEZ: Sure. William 24 Gonzalez, appearing on behalf of Ciro Mederos, I 25 represent these individuals.  27 1 MAYOR STACK: And all they're doing is 2 buying out the other interest? 3 MR. GONZALEZ: It was 50-50. She 4 already owned 50 percent, she's buying the other 5 50. She's going to be the sole owner. 6 MAYOR STACK: Any Commissioners have any 7 questions at this time? Any comments at this 8 time?
