responded that no one was there when the inspector went to the business and that Mr.
Mellantine still needed to apply for the Food Permit. Attorney Cerwin informed the
Committee of its options to reinstate the previous Summons and Complaint and the
Findings and Recommendation which will expire with the 2016-2017 application, or
issue a new Summons and Complaint for the 2017-2018 license application. Ald.
Weigel inquired if Mr. Mellantine had thought about staffing the business because he
didn't want Mr. Mellantine to not open August 1, 2017 because he didn't have staff.

that it would be fine if Mr. Mellantine wanted or needed to be open limited days or
