Sorry. If there are any issues that uh we can't resolve, we'll have to put them off till the end of the meeting when we have we'll have three people at that point. Uh for right now though, we will begin with um the the agenda. The following matters will come before the
Reveal license commission today. This is our regularly scheduled meeting and the meeting has been previously filed with the city clerk. The first item on the agenda is the approval of the minutes of August 20th, 2025.
I can make a motion to approve. Very good. I will uh second your name and address for the record, please, sir. Hi, I'm John Flynn, vice president of Dean and Flynn, Inc. doing business as Fiesta shows out of Seabbrook, New
Hampshire. Thank you very much, Mr. Flynn. Can you uh tell us what you'd like to do with this license? We'll uh we have a week-long carnival. I know it's probably been four or five years since we've had an event in Revier, but traditionally we did them
for over 30 years over at Showcase Cinema. Um, this is a lot smaller event. I'd say more children rides than adult rides, but uh we've got a location and u hope to have it there.
Very good. So, I see a letter from uh BDS discount LLC um giving you permission. Correct. The actually the owner of the property is here today, too, if you need. Oh, do we have an updated letter with the new dates? I believe that was submitted.
Yes, it was emailed over to Maggie. Okay, perfect. And if I could uh if it is approved today, obviously our next step is to do the building department for electrical inspections, health department, uh get together with police and fire for
details, and the state to come out to inspect the amusement devices. Very good. Thank you very much, sir. We have um we'll close this section of the hearing. Are there any proponents? Is there anybody that would like to speak on behalf of the issuing of this license?
I don't see or hear anybody. We'll close that section. Is there anybody opposed? Yes. Step up to the microphone, please. Councelor. Uh, good afternoon everyone. Anthony Cogleandro, 105 Newman Street Ravier, W 3 city counselor. I have a lot of concerns about this as do many of the
residents in the area. We're looking at putting a carnival in the middle of one of the busiest areas of our city. It's already a traffic nightmare over there. Um, I'm not really sure how they're going to fit a carnival on that piece of property. Um, so I do want
to also hear about your security plan. I want to hear about the number of details you're you're required to have. I also have questions about that site after the fire. There was a big sign that said there was asbestos there and yet to hear if that's been cleaned up or not. Um, so we do have some issues down there. Um,
as of right now, I'm against them hosting this there. I'm not against fiesta shows in any way. They've been in our city for many years. Uh yes, thank you. Yes. Um they've been in our city for a long time. I know that they don't advocate
for this. I've spoken on their behalf prior when they had security issues uh at their events and people didn't want them to come back. I spoke in favor of them. It's not that I'm not in favor of the carnival itself. I'm not in favor of this location. and I think it's geographically probably one of the worst
spots they could have picked. So, I'd like, you know, if you could answer some of those questions, sir, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you. Uh, thank you very much, councelor. Before we begin, is there anybody else that's opposed? Yes, Chief. Hi, James Colin. Refire, Chief. Uh I am
opposed to this uh location and and this as um the council spoke. I'm I'm also in in um not opposed to the management of uh Fiesta shows. They they've been around a long time and and we certainly uh have nothing against them. But the uh I I just have concern with with safety
in that area. the traffic concerns uh would jam up that square road as our gateway to the north of the city and also our apparatus responding uh out of North Reier coming south um will be a concern and also um uh the parking in that area would would be they they would
be parking a lot of cars in the neighborhood. I'm fearful of people getting hit by cars crossing at their location and for public safety concerns. Um well, with that said, um I I I believe the uh police uh I spoke to the police chief and I don't want to speak for them, but we just did discuss this
and um felt that it was not a good location, but I'll let them speak on that. Thank you very much, Chief. Also, my my code enforcement uh deputy is here um if if he I think he has a few concerns also. Absolutely. Thank you very much,
Deputy. How are you today? Good afternoon. Um, Deputy Chief Paul Chver, uh, I reviewed their emergency, uh, plan. This is something we started a few years ago to require them to put together emergency plan for how the event was run after we had some issues
at the old location. Um, the emergency plan in the past was probably about 16 pages with some great details. This is four pages and it's basically excerpts from that other professionally done uh, plan. And as you can see, this is the
event layout. It's approximately 1.5 acres of land, which is the white area. Um, we have blue boxes and squares. I have no idea what this represents. Um, he shows one gate. He's required to at least have two. We required three
emergency gates in the past. Um, there's no other gate shown on this on this diagram. Uh he's using um uh DB discounts property which was formerly Soios. There is a retail space that's run out of this building and a uh import
export business that's run out of the back to go to his other locations. If you look at the location right now, there are multiple trucks in that parking lot that are taking materials in and out of that warehouse in the back. Um he's using their parking as well as
their areas for for the run this business. So there has to be So is the business shutting down during this week? How how how are these two going to work together? So I'm very concerned about the details of this emergency plan. And as the council indicated, this is a 21e
site. After the fire, everything on this property went off as what's called hot because of the the land the uh building had asus in it. So when that material leaves the site, it leaves the site as hot and it's contaminated materials. So now there hasn't been a 21E done on the
site to clarify whether there's still some contamination in the soil. The foundation is still there from the old building. There are some little walls that stick up out of that foundation. So it's not really travelable across the site without some work being done. It
does change a grade into the back. So there's a lot of questions that still need to be answered before the site would be used. Um and my main concern is emergency eress or secondary egress. Where's that going? Squire Road, Wad Street. Uh there's nothing on this plan that addresses that. So I think I think
the emergency plan has a lot to be desired before we would even consider such an event, never mind the other issues that have been brought up by the chief. Thank you. Thank you very much, Deputy. Is there uh someone else who would like to speak? Good afternoon, Captain.
Good afternoon. Uh Captain Thomas Malone, uh River Police Department. I'm here on behalf of Chief Levita and representing the River Police Department. Uh we've also had a chance to uh review the uh proposal submitted and I'm echoing my counterparts with the uh fire department. Uh the police
department's against this location, not Fiesta shows. We've always had a good relationship with Fiesta Shows. However, this location is not like the locations we've had previously. When we had this location at uh the old uh showcase
cinema that was a standalone parking lot, everything was contained and confined into that one area. And we were required four detail officers on on the nights and two during the day. Currently at this location, we would need probably
an equivalent amount of officers. But now we have to take into account the traffic in that area. This wasn't Squire Road that the further end of Squire Road where the showcase was where it was easy to get cars in and out. They had the exit and it was contained. Here we have
to deal with Brown Circle which on a good day is poorly lit. There's inadequate lighting. It's a heavily tra traversed uh rotary beside any of the businesses. Frequent accidents occur there. Now we're taking
into the fact that without that with the old location for the festival uh the carnival, excuse me, was more business in a business area. This is business, but it's completely surrounded by residents. We're going to end up seeing people because of the we believe
inadequate parking in that location. People are going to be parking on the opposite side of Squire Road where uh the residences are and then trying to play Frogger across the street which because there's no crosswalks in that vicinity. So, we have to deal with that.
Then you're going to have the parking people are going to start parking on Ward Street and that's a congested area. As far as we know, there is no none of the businesses are allowing uh fiesta shows other than the Soio parking lot. Not Wendy's, not Dunkin Donuts, not BJs. from what we understand uh that's
allowing for parking. On top of that, we have a strike that's right now operating almost 18 hours a day a little further up the road on Charger Street. We have offices there and it's been causing traffic and gridlock in that area because of what's
going on. On top of that, we're dealing with two other major construction uh facil uh projects in the city right now where our officers are uh directed to. I don't know if the River Police Department would be able to staff the security that
would be needed for this location when you have to uh until the fact uh that we have to deal with now the traffic. We're going to have to have multiple offices and uh the security plan like the fire department officials
had just said uh uh is inadequate at this point. if they wanted to come back with a different location or something, we'd be more than happy to, but this is uh a bad location and the police department's against this location. Thank you. Thank you very much, Captain. Do you
have any uh any questions or Well, sir, you've heard the public safety officials and the city councelor. Um what's your plan to address their concerns? Well, we we can redo the safety plan. Uh on that we just so show showed the main
entrance but there are other two two other egresses off that. They weren't clearly depicted in that plan but obviously as as necessary main entrance and there's two auxiliary ways for people to get out of there. Uh the business that operates on the side of
the uh store is closed down. They won't be operating that all while we're there. Also, the extent of the event isn't what we used to do over at the U Showcase Cinema. This is the smaller, more geared
towards kids. Um, smaller event. Uh, we have our own private security that will be on the gates. Everybody coming into the event will be checked. Their bags will be checked. They'll go through a metal detector. Um, and we'll have that one entrance in that the police always
seem to like. And in terms of police support, uh, we would go ahead. Whatever they dictate is what we would have. We have parking on the side of the store, which I believe accommodates about 85 cars. And traditionally, we have about a
1 hour turnaround when people come in. It's It's not going to be that big of an event. So, I figured, you know, about an hour and they would turn around and leave. Okay. No, I appreciate that. Do you have any questions? So, from what I could hear, um, Fiesta
Shows does have a good reputation. Um, I'm just having a problem with the location, with traffic, construction, strikes, 21E. Um, basically public safety at this point.
Well, and I I'm of the same mindset. I believe that the public safety officials have pretty much laid it out. You've addressed some of the concerns. However, there are still some pretty big questions that need to be answered about site safety, uh the the cleanliness of
the site, whether or not it's even able to house this kind of an event, particularly with children. Um so, I mean, I'd be inclined um not to vote for this. Um, but like I said, I'm just one vote and so I would
uh I would make a motion that we not approve this. Could we table this then to give us an opportunity to uh redo the plan on it then resubmit it? Sure. Okay. We'll we'll do that. Okay, we'll do that. We will table this
and give you an opportunity to come back and if you can address you've heard the concerns. Um I personally I think that site is going to be a problem. Yeah. Um just from where it is on the property
as as the the uh captain said that area brown circle is very difficult. I mean just on a good day that you can hear people beeping and and cursing and and slimming on their brakes. So, now we're going to throw in a group of
people that are going to be crossing the road looking to turn in, gawking at the lights and everything. I just see it as being not a good location. So, you know, please take that into account when you think about resubmitting.
Very good. Thank you. Thank you very much. Item number two, Michelle Vanthy Nuin, DBA Breuan Cafe, 311 Broadway. Michelle Nuin is the

We've put a lot of work into it, and yeah, I think we're very prepared for a good event. Well, great. Thank you very much. We'll close this part of the hearing. Is there
any anybody uh would like to speak on behalf of the issuing of this license? Any proponents? We don't see or hear anybody. We'll close that section. Anybody opposed? Anybody opposed to the issuing of the license? Don't see or hear anybody. We'll close that section. Would you like

Saturday, October 18th, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The event is uh is activity surrounding a motorcycle ride for fundraiser. The expected attendance is 400. Your name and address
for the record, please, sir? Yes, sir. All right. And uh it's Todd Angelie, Lynfield, Massachusetts. Very. Can you explain briefly what you'd like to do with this license? Absolutely. We'd like to hold a motorcycle run which will take place at
uh Boston Harley uh at in Rivera uh at that location. Um the the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 would include 9:00 registration. Uh the commencement of the ride and then the return of the riders to that same location uh which there
will be some entertainment um various community organizations spread throughout the PRA parking lot. Uh and at 3:00 the event would end um immediately. Uh there will be when I say several two to three uh food trucks um
which have been directed by myself to check in and uh register with the uh board of health and river. Um there will be no alcohol sold. Uh this is being built as a family-friendly event. Um, and the entertainment would be a DJ with
minimal sound, uh, just to fill the parking lot. And that would go on from 9 till about the time the ride leaves, which would be right around 11:00. And then a band. We're calling it a band, but it's going to be a trio. Uh, so nothing, you know, big like a monstrosity of rock and roll or
whatever. And then um like I said uh various uh celebrities uh organizations focused on uh community uh involvement and such. And I think I might have covered everything. I hope. Okay. Uh thank you very much.
Sure. Um we'll close this part of the hearing. Do you have any questions before we close this part? Have you done uh these type of events before? Personally, I've never organized one. I've been part of them um on both the uh planning part of it and participation.
So, I'm running off of that experience, but I'm also utilizing the experience of Boston Harley and some other people that have held rides there uh before. Um going on their uh reputation of it seems to me that the events held at Boston Harley have been highly successful and if I remember correctly, there haven't
been any incidents. Um, and that's basically what I'm gauging. The the attendance I'm gauging on um pre-registration, but normally motorcycle riders do not exercise technology and pre-register. They show up and register, but um so this I'm gauging on the amount of uh riders that
have showed up to rides that I've been a part of in the past, which have been anywhere between 100 and and 200 or so. The only reason I exceeded that amount was the number of people that we would like to expect that wouldn't be riders that would take advantage of uh
utilizing and and um meeting these various community organizations. Community organizations being SUS Lions, the American Legion, um the Kenik Foundation, Step Up for Colleen, um so on and so forth. And then the four found I know you have all this in front of you but the four foundations where all the
money is going to um where is simply paying for the ride insurance and um actually the uh the bands and and the band and uh uh uh food trucks have uh told us that they'll donate their uh time that we will not require fees from
us. Um, so the money is all going to go to the four organizations that being the Thomas Smith Foundation, the Navy Seal Foundation, the Rayborg Foundation, and the Professional Firefighters Massachusetts Foundation. Thank you very much. We will close this
part of the hearing. Are there any proponents? Is there anybody that would like to speak on behalf of the issuing of this license? Don't see or hear anybody. We'll close that section. Anybody opposed? Absolutely.
Hello. We can share a mic over here if you'd like. We Hi. That's right. There we go. Just a few questions. Uh, we've done rides with you guys before. Typically, we end up blocking off streets. Yes. First of all, what is the route of the ride? So, the route I have it in um I'm going
to say unprofessional form, but it's here. It's it's legible. Um I didn't provide the route just cuz um uh uh I forget his his title, but uh Officer Matt Cunningham with the Everett PD who has designed these rides before has um designed this and I've been in contact
with Sergeant Fantasia from Riviera. I actually drove the route yesterday. Yeah, I did drive the route uh yesterday. Um, but I I probably should let you finish your question. Sorry. Well, I mean, as far as the route goes, I mean, I guess that's not the biggest question. We just need I mean, it's probably going to start Mhm.
in Everett. It's going to start at the dealership and go out from the dealership. Go out from the dealership. Uh, River to Sus, Lynn, Sus again quickly. Lynfield, Wakefield, Melrose, Malden,
and then come back. Okay. All right. So, it's just a matter of the intersections and stuff. But we can work that out with the sector cars, but the actual event itself. Yeah. Because if you're looking at three or 400 bikes, they're going to be coming from all over. You got a bus route right on Wesley Street. Typically, what we've done is we've actually blocked off Wesley Street on
both sides with cruises. Rooted the buses, etc. And it's it's a lot of pedestrian, a lot of vehicular traffic, right? Um, so that's my biggest concern. I know you said there's no alcohol and the food trucks will probably be inside the lot itself, correct? So that's good. It's just getting the bikes in and out and in
and out. So, I don't uh I'm not sure if I stepped over you there when I responded. I I don't expect 400. I would love to have 400 riders. I'm not expecting 400 riders by what it said. Yeah. No, I know. I I And and my first time being, you know, given the uh responsibility of doing this. So, like I
said, um the last ride I was a part of was just this past Sunday and it was just short of 200. So, I'm gauging around there. I'm I was going for total number of people that would be at uh the facility at the location. But even so, um I made it very clear to I know that
um Officer Cunningham has nothing to do with River, but to Sergeant Mateasier and then on the Zoom call previously that I'll take my lead from River as far as hiring details, whatever that is. I've also uh tried to be proactive um reached out to uh the owners of both the club across the street and Stop and Shop
just to verbally uh let them know, you know, we're going to be having this event. In the past, Harley has told me that they've allowed people to park in their in their locations. I wanted to just, you know, reassure them and thank them for that. And then we're hoping that individuals will exercise that route from those parking lots to the
crosswalk. And then even though it will still provide extra, you know, um um people and and um you know, and all that, at least they'll be using um the crosswalk and all that. But I understand the concern. I absolutely understand the
concern. Like I said, we've had several of those events there. So, we kind of have it like down pat, right? I mean, so you're probably looking at at least three cops, maybe four. Yeah. And and I'm works out pretty good. And actually, to be to be quite honest with you, part of big part of this is is addressing the the public safety
officials and all that and supporting them. So, in in my mind, the more of those people we can get at this event, then it just helps promote what we're trying to do. But, like I said, and also, I've been very uh viciferous with with both Sergeant Bentasia. I learned that word in uh junior high. I try to use it every so often. Um
it's a good word. I like Yeah. You know what I mean? Um and um I keep saying, listen, I have no problem reaching out to not only in Riviera, but the other communities that we're going to pass through and I've been assured that they will do that. But Nemlech and all of that I know has been and I'm
exceeding also instead of having just one tow truck follow, I'm looking to have three to four. Also, Katalo with with ambulance services. is I want to be super proactive and um you know precautionary in this event because I would like to make this an annual event. Sounds good. Yeah. All righty.
I appreciate you. Thanks. Uh thank you very much. We'll close this part of the hearing. Are there any proponents? Anybody else that would like to speak on behalf of the issuing of this license? I don't see or hear anybody. We'll close that section. Any opponents? Is there
anybody opposed? Hearing and seeing none, we'll close that section. Would you like to make a motion or would you like to discuss it? I can make a motion to approve. Very good. I will second that motion. the application for a one-day common victual
entertainment license to be exercised by Todd Angelie on Saturday, October 18th, 2025 at 6:49 Squire Road from 9:00 a.m. to 300 p.m. is approved. Thank you very much.
Thank you all. Are you going to be working with the Bruins again this year? I absolutely. Well, good. I I was going to offer to help open up the uh facility. I was going to ask, are you going to be singing at this thing or? Yeah, I will. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all.

Staybridge Inc. Holiday in Express Reier to Desiree A. Luliano from Cynthia Basic is approved. Thank you very much. Thank you. Yes. We're going to take a couple minute
recess, please. Thank you very much. Oxyenos. Um I apologize on behalf of Mr. Hernandez who is the owner of the facility. Um he had gone I think it was a vacation but he he had traveled to El Salvador. Um and the flight something
happened with his flight. He was supposed to be back yesterday. He won't be back until tomorrow. So, in the interest of not holding up the board or anything, I had called ahead and said, "I'll just come." And if they choose to reschedu it, I'd be more than happy to
do that. Or if they just want to listen to what I have to say, I'd be more than happy to do that as well. Well, I mean, I'd be interested in listening. Do you want to listen or do you want to have them do we need the owner here? I mean, I think I think council um should be in a position to address some
of the concerns that we may have with the application. I can address what I know. And so I wasn't involved in be frank with you. He's he's had a karaoke and DJ license in the past and there were a complaint that would come
in from the landlord which I'm getting different stories about what happened. I wasn't part of that or involved in that. So you you might want to hear from him. there was other council involved and that's exactly where I was going to go with it that you know we had issues with this particular business when it comes
to the entertainment. It's a highly residential area. I would certainly propose that we reschedule this so that the um the owner can be here because um Mike I have a lot of I have I have a lot of questions about the application and the amendment for the karaoke. Um so that's
my position on that. Okay, I understand that. Do you have a you have a position on this? I'm going to agree with uh Dan. Very good. Um well, councelor, I guess that's question. Yes, sir. Well, you had a question with the
application. Is it anything you need me to do or correct or anything like that? No. No. Or just the questions that we're referring to right now. Right. It's it's more so logistics operational because given the is the history of of issues and it's not necessarily directly related to how your client has operated the business itself.
It's given its location, the music, the crowd that it draws, etc. that I think that we should address with him directly on the record obviously. Um and I think we would be best served if he was here. That that's what I felt, but I figured let me come and at least explain I appreciate that
what's going on. So, you know, because he's not here and he won't be back until tomorrow. Yeah. Well, we appreciate that. And we did like I like u my fellow commissioner said there were problems with his uh operations in the past particularly were
result of the volume to which he was uh playing the music and it just there were a lot of problems that we need to speak to him about. Sure. So we appreciate you coming in and uh we will reschedu this. Do you want the
original affidavit of the notices that went out or was what I submitted sufficient? Um, it what you submitted it was sufficient. Okay. So, we'll just put it on the calendar for the next uh I assume that'll be somewhere towards
the end of October. It will be the third Wednesday in October. October. Okay. Because I won't be here the first couple of weeks of November. That's why. Okay. All right. Well, thank you very much, council. We appreciate it. Thank you.

We will to be a nice neighborhood. We will service the world diverse city. We now we are application for the liquid license but we are always focused

Your personal address? Oh, personal. Yeah, we live in Molden. Oh, yeah. I'm in a live model. My house. May I see one of your menus? Yes, sir. Now we are having five restaurant in Boston
area. Do you have any connection to the um any connection to the prior business that was there or no connection? There was a there's no connection. Yeah. The other restaurants are in Wfield in three in Boston.
And do they all have alcohol licenses as well? No. No. But he's been in business for over 20 years. And does he have any experience dealing with alcohol uh licenses and service? nervous in the past you you
he's worked at places that had alcohol licenses but his locations have never had an alcohol license. Yeah. So we are first one. What about what about any have you taken any um certifications training for alcohol? Yes. We were training everyone every
employees to be our best. Right. But my question is um uh who who will who will have the training uh to understand how to um administer and service alcohol because there's a
certain type of training that you need to have and an understanding of the laws when it comes to alcohol service. Um I'm I've been consulting him. Uh my my name is Phil Celeste and with the realy management group. Um I've managed
bars before. I've worked as a bartender with the Boston University. So, I've been in the business. Um, I'm on the board of directors of the Dante Ellig Gary Societ Society in Cambridge and we maintain a bar there under the Massachusetts licenses. So, we do we do
understand the responsibilities of of having a bar, but it should be said that as as uh Jimbo had said, the restaurant is the priority. So, the bar is secondary. The bar is we were originally going for a beer and wine or malt
liquor, but they're going to be serving kind of saki because they have sushi and they're going to be serving maybe exotic mixed drinks like my ties and mojitos. So, the full license is not going to be it's it's not going to be a bar a bar
room. It's just basically to expand their possibilities. But we do understand. I mean, he fully understands the responsibilities of having a bar and checking IDs and making sure no one's under 21 years old. Well, I I don't I don't I don't I'm not I'm not really getting that from from
your client, but I mean I think that um when are when are you slated when are you uh ready? Like when will you be opening the business? We we've been posted in the 2007. No, this is going to be u they're
currently uh going to be under they're going to be start construction or renovation at that location. As you know, the boulevard is a new basically a couple years old. So, they should probably be done in maybe a couple months. Okay. So, here's here's here's my
concern with uh the just giving out an alcohol license right now. U because uh um Jimbo, Mr. Lynn obviously has a wealth of restaurant experience. They have multiple locations. We can't deny that. But I think that it's important that at
least, you know, if he's going to be the on-site and on- premises manager, that he should have at least be tip certified or take some type of training so that he can confidently represent to this commission that he understands the the the laws and you know the requirements
and the obligations associated with maintaining a liquor license on premises liquor license and more more importantly the laws associated with the service of alcohol. And obviously he can certainly recommend and uh require that his bartenders have that same certifications, but for us to
confidently and I'm only speak for myself, but I'm sure my fellow commissioners share the same reservations. Uh for us to be able to confidently issue it, um you know, the the person seeking the license should have that basic knowledge. I'm not really getting that right now. The good thing here is, right, that if he's
slated to open in a couple of months, um he still has that time to get there and still get it back in front of us uh within a certain period of time to allow us to reconsider this application. Again, I'm not speaking for everyone else. I'm just speaking from my own uh review of the application and uh the
representations here today. Well, I think that's a very reasonable request and I don't think that's not a problem. Take whatever course you would need. tip certification tip certification to be able to run a bar. That's that's very reasonable.
Yeah. I mean, that would be what I think what we'd be looking for. Um, how would you feel about granting it contingent upon that? Uh, I would I would I would I would actually propose
that we simply, you know, put it back on for uh a meeting um at the end of October to allow you time uh for the next hearing to just come back with that certification. Uh because again, if you're not going to
open until let's say November, you still have the time. we still can approve it within enough time. Um, and then if you come back with that uh that training done, um, I'm sure the commission would have no problem approving the application at that point. If I if I may ask, would that be the
same for a mall license or would you have the same concerns? I would have the same concerns still administration of of and I think the location needs it. I mean, you know, just speaking from the businesses that were there, the business that was there before, you know, that I think directly
led to the business, uh, it was it was an Asian restaurant that failed in that location. And, you know, I think the service of alcohol and having that for a beach type restaurant is important. It draws people. Um, but it's it's it's even more important, at least from the
perspective of the license commission, that the person that's holding the license understands the responsibility because there's so much liability associated with it that I'm just I'm just not getting that from his experience and what he Yeah. So, I would ask that it's just
simply uh tabled for now and that um that he comes back with the requisite um certifications that shows that us that he has understand the basic understanding of the service of alcohol. that preclude him from moving on with the rest of his total his license and everything else.
No, everything else is Yeah. Everything else is fine. So, I mean, um, other than the alcohol application, I mean, what else is in front of it? Obviously, yeah, I mean the common vict I see. Okay.
So, would that would would with would with would with would with would with would with would with would with would with would with would with would with us holding off until the next meeting prohibit him from moving forward with the construction and renovations that's just not at all. That's what I thought. So he should he still can proceed um but
he can't be stocking his bar just yet. Okay. Think I don't think he was ready to do that yet. Right. I don't think so. He it's a reasonable concern. Yeah. All right. Very good. So you want to put that in the form of a motion?
Uh I would move to uh simply continue this hearing um to our next scheduled meeting and ask that um Mr. uh Lynn um take the requisite uh
you know certification that may be required uh that's associated with the administration of alcohol and and acquire the basic knowledge associated with the service of alcohol. So we'd be under schedule for October. October. Yes. O the next meeting is October 15th. It would take him like
15 less than a week to get the to get that done. That's reasonable. Tip certification. Understand? So just come in with the certification and um you know we'll uh we'll go from there. Okay. All right. Very good. So I will second that motion
and uh this application is uh continue till next month. Thank you. Thank you very much. So good luck. Good luck. Thank you. Thank you for everyone. Absolutely. I'm excited to try to sue. We'll see you next time. We don't mind. Thank you.
Thank you very much. Uh that concludes the um application for consideration. The next item on the agenda are communications. Uh number one is a quotota report from
