We our our of operation right now is between 11:00 and 10:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday. Sunday is 11:00 to 9:00 p.m.

47
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:23.440
We really want to extend our hours of operation to open at 6:30 a.m. for breakfast and to close at 3:00 a.m. just to sell food to the public.

48
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:39.320

>> 3:00 a.m. >> 3:00 a.m. >> And your alcohol service will be from when? >> 8:00 as the estate regulation 8:00 to 1:30. But remember that

50
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:14.560
our main sales is not alcohol. Our main sales is the the food. That's why our concept that is fast casual. We really want to extend it and serve breakfast and a late menu for during the night.

51
00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:31.000
>> Now, being in your modern location, you guys the same Santa Fe burrito? >> Yes, it's the same Santa Fe is the same company. >> Very good. All right. Uh, do you have any questions? >> So, I want to ask you what's

52
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:45.440
So, what's the main reason for requesting such huge extension from like 9:00 10:00 till like 3:00 a.m.? Like what did you see in in the restaurant that you think that this could work? >> know the location where we are,

53
00:14:45.440 --> 00:15:01.120
I see that a lot of people walk by in the morning. Normally in the office very early in the morning. And I see a lot of people just to take that advantage and increase our sales. >> Okay, so we're talking about the morning, but why extend it till 3:00

54
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:17.560
a.m.? What did you see like in in the restaurant where you could say I need a license till 3:00 a.m.? >> That that will help our sales and but what I believe is that is a great opportunity for the community. There are

55
00:15:17.560 --> 00:15:36.760
no too many places that they offer like a fast casual, something to eat late night, and we see the opportunity to do it. >> Okay. Do you have any other questions? >> So, how many employees do you currently

56
00:15:36.760 --> 00:15:53.120
have like on the night shift? Or planning to have if you like to get approved. >> Right now we have four, but if we are going to extend it, we will be sure, you know, that somebody is there to cover the whole shift.

57
00:15:53.120 --> 00:16:11.440
It will be around five, four or five employees. >> All set. Thank you very much, sir. Um we'll close this part of the hearing. Are there any proponents, anybody that would like to speak on behalf

58
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:28.200
of the extension of these hours? I don't see or hear anybody. We'll close that section. Is there anybody opposed? Anybody opposed to the issuing of this license? >> Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Members, I Irwin Noveselsky,

59
00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:43.760
53 Dehon Street, Ward 2 councilor. I don't have any total objections to the hours except the 3:00 in the morning. Uh it's across the street from a thickly settled neighborhood, and I don't mind 2:00, but cuz most people are open till

60
00:16:43.760 --> 00:17:06.319
2:00, I just question the 3:00 a.m. >> Okay, thank you very much, councilor. Is there anybody else that would like to voice any opinion? >> Good afternoon. I would be just more concerned is that the time you stop serving alcohol would be 1:30, correct? About people hanging

61
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:23.199
around from 1:30 till 3:00 a.m. that have been there drinking all night. That's my main concern, and that's a busy area. And I understand there's a parking lot there, but it's at 3:00 in the morning, yeah, there won't be a whole lot of traffic, but I'm more worried about the people coming out getting into a car into that main intersection there.

62
00:17:23.199 --> 00:17:38.400
Um I guess my question would be how would you make sure that the people that are with there drinking the whole night are not there till 3:00 in the morning? >> Um As you know, our concept is in and out

63
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:56.240
and we will try to um to close unless they the tables section that they pick their food and just try to to leave right away at that time. We are talking about after 2:00 a.m.

64
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:11.200
>> Okay, I'm not real familiar with your business. That's what I'm asking, so. >> Okay. Is it more of a takeout? >> Yes, we we do have >> does it have? I'm sorry, I'm not sure. >> Right now, they are 52 52 seats. >> With the patio?

65
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:31.600
>> Okay, it's good size. Okay. >> Thank you. >> Sure. >> Okay. Uh thank you very much, sir. Um do you want to make a motion or you want to discuss this further? >> So, we discuss this among ourselves.

66
00:18:31.600 --> 00:18:46.760
>> Yep. Why don't you turn on your microphone? I mean I don't I I understand the people's concerns about 3:00 a.m. Um it isn't really I mean there are houses around. It is across

67
00:18:46.760 --> 00:19:04.760
the street from Beach Street which is uh it's a fairly wide intersection. Um I don't I mean, I understand that the um the concerns about 3:00.

68
00:19:04.760 --> 00:19:21.720
Um and so, I would make a motion that we allow them to open until 2:00. What do you think about that? >> We are open. >> What do you think about that?

69
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:36.960
>> I will second that. 2:00 a.m. >> Lieutenant, what's >> Yes, I agree with 2:00 a.m. sounds better. That's when everybody else in the city closes down for the night, so I think that's a good idea. >> Okay, so I think what we'll do is um

70
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:54.160
we will grant you the extension of hours so that your hours will now be from 6:30 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. >> Perfect. >> And then um alcohol service still has to

71
00:19:54.160 --> 00:20:10.440
stop at 1:30 um and everybody has to be out by 2:00. >> True. >> All right? >> Yes, sir. >> So that is uh that's what we'll do and so that license is is amended and the hours are are approved. Thank you very

196
00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:23.720
>> Ooh, I'm here. I was sick for a while. And I left to my to get, you know, take care of my health. And I come back, I found the landlord he changed everything. I need to go to the court. I have two option. Get my business back or he pay me out.

197
00:55:23.720 --> 00:55:39.960
That's it, sir. >> Very good. Mr. Counselor, do you have something you'd like to add here? >> He's my lawyer. >> Would you step up to the microphone, please? >> Attorney Mark Horrigan, good afternoon. Uh he did have a lease that was supposed to run from September 1st, 2021 to

198
00:55:39.960 --> 00:55:55.560
August 31st of this year. He He did become ill. There was some discussion as to whether the landlord was going to purchase his business. They had an agreed-upon price. The landlord paid

199
00:55:55.560 --> 00:56:12.720
10% of it in cash, but he never sent him a notice to quit or filed the summary process action. So, we're going to be filing a lawsuit against him based upon intentional interference with

200
00:56:12.720 --> 00:56:27.680
advantageous relations because he's essentially converted the business to his own use. And violations of 93A, there are regulations promulgated by the Attorney General that say if you're a landlord, you can't

201
00:56:27.680 --> 00:56:43.440
unilaterally evict a tenant without sending them a notice to quit and and getting an an execution, neither of which were done in this case. So, I don't know if the other party has applied for a

202
00:56:43.440 --> 00:57:00.440
license, the landlord has applied for a license. We obviously oppose that if if if that's pending. But um >> Well, your client has a license, correct? >> Yes. >> And that license is currently in good standing? >> is active. Recently. Yes, sir.

203
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:20.080
>> Very good. Uh is the other party here? >> I have no idea. I think he's right there, in the back. >> Sir, where is >> the landlord? >> Uh I want to wait for the lawyer coming in a minute. Am I lawyer? >> Okay. >> Should be here at 4:15.

204
00:57:23.120 --> 00:57:51.760
>> All right. Um Oop. >> He's right there. >> Is this Is this your lawyer? >> Yes. >> Counselor, how are you today? >> Very well, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. How are you? As uh As becoming ready to the middle.

205
00:57:51.760 --> 00:58:07.840
>> So, these folks have uh basically presented what their uh position is. I think you've read the papers. >> Yes. >> So, you know what their position is. I was just asking your client what his position is,

206
00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:23.160
and he said he would want to wait for his attorney, and you showed up right on cue. >> I was not lurking outside the doorway, I promise you. Uh if maybe um Mr. Perez can come up. Um I think that uh we have submitted a number of things to the commission, and

207
00:58:23.160 --> 00:58:39.800
uh this began back in the summertime when Mr. Perez had made an application to run his restaurant um out of the facility. He owns the building. Um he indicated that uh there was no lease in place that would keep him from doing that, that the business had not

208
00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:56.520
been operating, and he was fully aware uh able to um resume operating the business. The license was granted uh by this license commission, but it appears was not utilized. So,

209
00:58:56.520 --> 00:59:12.920
with regard to what Mr. Perez's his plan is, if I may, with the uh leave of the chair, let him explain to you the timeline from that point on. And he had actually made an application for the license, which has been held in abeyance for almost a year.

210
00:59:12.920 --> 00:59:27.960
And without >> Just so just so we're on the same footing, I have seen a lease. So, there is There is a lease in effect. >> saw it right there. >> We have it. >> I don't know if you've seen it. >> No, I I I've seen it, but he's in it He's He's in breach of it, and it's been terminated.

211
00:59:27.960 --> 00:59:43.080
>> No, no, I didn't get any notice of termination. >> Well, I I think then Mr. Then Mr. Perez would be able to bring you up to date on what his interaction has been. I've I've given the commission what our position is with regard to the issuance

212
00:59:43.080 --> 01:00:00.120
of a license to him, but as to the part of the hearing that um goes to the current licensing, whether the license is or is not valid, uh with leave of the chair, let like Mr. Perez to be able to present his side.

213
01:00:00.160 --> 01:00:16.000
>> So, um So, the deal with him is in um June. He owe me a lot of money for rent. >> No. >> And the two loan. And the two loan, and uh I bought a place for $135,000. He owe me a hundred.

214
01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:32.800
So, I give you $35,000 in cash, but I don't have any receipt. Cuz I I always trust him because uh he no want to spend money on lawyers. Uh I ask him, he say, "No, you no have to spend money on lawyers." So,

215
01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:49.560
I I working with him only time he owe me a rent. He give me like uh He owe me like, example, like $20,000. And And the other the month they give me 2,000, so I divide 2,000 by by the 20, so he owe me 18. I always send the

216
01:00:49.560 --> 01:01:06.040
picture every month, whatever whatever give me. And also I make a deal. So, uh So, I bought in the June, I make a deal in December how to be transferred the license to my name, but he never did it.

217
01:01:06.040 --> 01:01:21.840
So, um >> Well, first of all, I don't believe he can transfer the license to your name. That's something that has to be done at the license commission. >> Oh, yeah. No, I I understand that. But I ask him before that, I say, "Why you no

218
01:01:21.840 --> 01:01:36.960
Why you no we go together to the city hall and then we can talk about it with the license we can transfer." He said, "No, you don't you don't have no hurry, no hurry, no worry about it. Everything's going to be done." So, by by December 26th, he never answered the phone, not anymore.

219
01:01:36.960 --> 01:01:53.040
But, the problem is uh I have the lease. The the The lease is to August uh 31st. The full 5 years. So, the lease is a is a termination because he owed me a rent.

220
01:01:53.040 --> 01:02:08.800
He owed me a lot of rent. >> Can I see the certificate, please? Okay. >> So, I got the proof. So, when I when I buy the place, I open the corporation. I pay my food taxes. I got the

221
01:02:08.800 --> 01:02:24.520
electric, gas, and everything in my name. And cable and everything is in my name. >> So, when you said you bought the place, do you have anything in writing or >> That's That's That's the problem because I always trust him. He said always got so

222
01:02:24.520 --> 01:02:40.800
Uh so, he he I negotiate $135,000. He said, "I take my 100 my $100,000 back. I give you $35,000 what I owe you." So, I give you a $35,000 and the deal is they

223
01:02:40.800 --> 01:02:58.040
transfer the license to to my name, but I know how to be uh come into the city hall and application and everything that. So, he he never did it. >> Just excuse me for interrupting. Do you have any any documentation,

224
01:02:58.040 --> 01:03:13.200
letters, emails indicating that he's in the rears on his >> He He is very smart because he he when I send the voicemail or whatever, he never sent me back. Because he uh I got a lot a lot of papers to prove. I

225
01:03:13.200 --> 01:03:37.200
got the letter with the his sign. Notarized together with the you owe me like $33,000. I not otherwise together. I have it. So. >> Just hang on 1 second. Thank you. >> This is coming today. >> Okay.

226
01:03:41.480 --> 01:04:29.800
>> Yeah, and uh this is the letter. >> She signed. >> This is my uh pay my uh means taxes. Everything is in time. >> This is Yeah, this is the the notice that your

227
01:04:29.800 --> 01:04:52.040
other lawyer gave him >> Yeah. >> Yeah, the first lawyer would have one. >> [clears throat] >> Well, let me just say that >> Okay, this is the letter. Can I show you? >> Sure. >> Okay. This is the first lawyer

228
01:04:52.040 --> 01:05:12.840
letter from the lawyer I had before. And this is the letter when I signed together not otherwise and uh >> Yeah, I've seen I've seen this one. If you wanted to show this. >> I already have the original I have the We already finished with that. We done with that. I want his word

229
01:05:12.840 --> 01:05:28.840
to his son. I owe him a penny. I want his word to his son. If he swears to his son I owe him a penny, you got the business. All right. I don't know if I owe him a penny. Ask him. If he swears to his son, I'm done. If he can just swear. I'm no liar. I can't no lie. >> You >> I don't have to lie. Don't don't talk to me, sir.

230
01:05:28.840 --> 01:05:45.320
If he swears to his son I owe him a penny, I I got the business back. I need my business back and I can go to court. That's all over. And this this the proof. So, you can I swear to his son, please? This by the writing and he's not. You see this how much I owe him? How

231
01:05:45.320 --> 01:06:01.360
much? >> Yeah. Okay. >> 9,000, sir. How much you pay? So, how much I pay him? You can read that, sir. Technically he owe me money. He doesn't know I have that. All right. Technically he owe me money. This the guy he pay him the money.

232
01:06:01.360 --> 01:06:17.200
Who pay the money? >> So. Okay. I know this isn't small claims court. Uh so, all right. So, what But what I'd like to do is um before I became involved with Mr. Perez's case,

233
01:06:17.200 --> 01:06:33.320
uh John Day, attorney, had given um the the other gentleman a notice on February 6th, 2026 um indicating that there was no lease. It wasn't in It wasn't valid in the agreement that was made between the

234
01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:49.920
gentlemen that the license, although they mistakenly thought because they did it without lawyers as my client said, um would be transferred as of January 1st and that didn't happen. And then on February 6th, attorney Day is writing to

235
01:06:49.920 --> 01:07:07.080
um Mr. Abu Lagala uh demanding possession of the um license and also the premises. So, he gave him notice back in February of 2026. So, this is not um an issue that's

236
01:07:07.080 --> 01:07:22.760
of recent vintage. I think you may have this in the file. I'm not sure whether Maggie has it from from John Day. But, this was this was the original legal letter. Subsequent to that counsel prior to this uh counsel had

237
01:07:22.760 --> 01:07:37.840
sent Miss Mr. Perez a 93A letter. We responded to to responded to it setting out our counter position. Then he obtained new counsel, which I think now is might maybe the third kind of third

238
01:07:37.840 --> 01:07:54.280
attorney. But, nonetheless um, this this seems to have come to a head and have um, cemented Mr. Perez's rights back in February of 2026. And he's been back and forth to the license commission saying,

239
01:07:54.280 --> 01:08:10.680
"I made this application last year. The business isn't running. The place is empty. And he doesn't have the right to be on the premises according to this letter. So, I somebody has got to be in there running running the place. There are bills that are accumulating, property

240
01:08:10.680 --> 01:08:27.080
ta- well, the whole thing the whole gamut. So, and our position is as was Mr. Day's position back in February that all of the rights in were to um, to Mr. Perez. And he has the right to possess to possess it. Whereas, that license that you issued had not been ex-

241
01:08:27.080 --> 01:08:42.759
had not been exercised and was standing in the way of of Mr. Perez's license to be acted upon. Because I I understand you can't act upon one when the other one is is uh um, is active or in >> Well,

242
01:08:42.759 --> 01:08:58.839
if I if I could my my thought is this gentleman was issued a license and applied for a license in good faith and it was issued. He was ill. He then asked this gentleman to run the place

243
01:08:58.839 --> 01:09:16.040
for him while he was recuperating. The license is in good standing. This gentleman, even though it's closed now, he's only closed because >> Yes. >> Your Your client has got the keys.

244
01:09:16.040 --> 01:09:32.240
So, the way I look at it, I'm looking at it at the moment, unless someone has got a a different take, is that this gentleman has a valid license and is entitled to operate the business.

245
01:09:32.240 --> 01:09:48.400
All this other stuff, that's stuff that they're going to have to sort out in court. As far as who owes what and what the money situation is. But from my perspective, the license itself is with this gentleman.

246
01:09:48.400 --> 01:10:05.880
And so, until that license expires or is in some way invalidated, he is the licensed operator of the premises, unless I'm missing something. >> No, no, you're right, because I think if if we bifurcate this, there are two there are two sides to this uh

247
01:10:05.880 --> 01:10:20.880
to one you have the license, whether or not that's a good license, and whether it was validly issued and is it active. And the other part is, is there a place for him to operate it? And it's the second step that's missing. He's got no place to operate it because he's in default of the lease and he's

248
01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:37.440
not going in there. >> So, the current lease expires when? This year in August? >> Yeah, August 31st, yeah. I get no notice at all. >> No. >> Even from the license commission. License commission, he sent a letter to the other good guy.

249
01:10:37.440 --> 01:10:53.120
Nothing come from him. He had it. Every notice that come, he hide. I got the letter by the cops. Thank God. He come to my house, he give it. That's why I'm here today. I don't have to lie. I don't have to lie. >> he he he no run he no get into the place because he give me the key. I buy the

250
01:10:53.120 --> 01:11:09.040
place, he give me the key. >> Excuse me. >> He's lying. I have the key. >> at a time, please. Sir, you have the floor. >> So, he he give me the key. And I trust him. He said, "You you you can keep the key. You can have the key. I trust you. You can come in here at any

251
01:11:09.040 --> 01:11:25.800
time." >> Sir, you have the run of the lot. You have the >> So, he When I buy the place, he show me places to can buy the market, buy the orange, buy everything. He show me everything. He go to the to the guys in the kitchen, he say, "Okay, I sold the

252
01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:41.200
place. I don't run the place anymore. I got partner. He talked to my partner. And he tell everything. He said, "I don't I don't run the place anymore. Thanks God." And And the thing is, I trust him. I I can't

253
01:11:41.200 --> 01:12:09.920
believe it he did this to me because I Sir, please. Yeah, that's what the deal is back. Because he owe me a lot of Anytime, yeah. >> So, it's a matter of timing, it looks like on 31 August all of the rights that were transferred

254
01:12:09.920 --> 01:12:28.360
under the lease expire. Well, >> but the auction is gone. >> So, So, if um if it makes sense and to keep this matter open because I know you're not going to decide it to I mean, I don't think there's enough evidence either way to decide it. And if there's

255
01:12:28.360 --> 01:12:43.280
a way to to try to navigate through all of the the license part of it and the lease part of it because eventually they they come together in order to have an operating um establishment. >> Yes. >> Um

256
01:12:43.280 --> 01:13:00.280
so, we're going to have to find out what happens on the 31st of August. >> That That would be I mean, he is like I say, he has a license. >> Mhm. >> If he doesn't have a place to operate, then that's a problem. However, at the moment, he's got a a

257
01:13:00.280 --> 01:13:15.960
lease which authorizes him to operate that business. >> Right. >> Any If someone else wants to invalidate that lease, that's for another another forum, I would think. I don't know what your feeling is.

258
01:13:15.960 --> 01:13:31.680
>> No, no, I I agree. And if it were at so close to the expiration of lease, I'd say you could probably do that, but maybe just marking time by the time you get to get it adjudicated, but the expiration date is probably going to run that over. So, my suggestion would be to have us

259
01:13:31.680 --> 01:13:48.320
get back to the to the commit take no action on it, and let us get back to the commission, and um give you a status as to what >> lease term. >> Right. Right. >> Counselor, what is your >> Well, >> If you'd step up to the microphone,

260
01:13:48.320 --> 01:14:03.000
please. >> Is it a basic matter? As you probably know, uh to initiate an eviction case, you got to give a notice to quit, and then follow it up with the summary process complaint and summons. That has never been produced. A 93A

261
01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:19.560
demand letter doesn't suffice for that purpose. Um and uh there's no documentation of a demand in writing that was handed to uh the the tenant. Um and uh

262
01:14:19.560 --> 01:14:35.040
apparently, he was in there operating the the place at some point without any authorization really to do that, according to to uh the parties. Um so, this fellow just thinks he can do things unilaterally, and uh

263
01:14:35.040 --> 01:14:49.880
you know, clearly, if you look at the regulations promulgated by the the attorney general, this is a violation of section 2A of 93A, uh and uh it's pretty cut and dry as far as that's

264
01:14:49.880 --> 01:15:05.760
concerned. So, I agree that he he his status should obviously continue. Whether he can exercise an option to renew if he chooses to do that is a different issue, but this case is going to end up in court. There's There's no doubt about it.

265
01:15:05.760 --> 01:15:24.040
>> Yes. This one I need >> I think you called that one right, Mr. Chairman. Uh so, um I I think I don't know whether it would be I'm I'm going to make a suggestion, but I'm not sure whether this suggestion would be to put it on for date certain or for us to

266
01:15:24.040 --> 01:15:39.160
get in touch with Maggie to ask that it be put on the on the docket. >> Well, we should put it on for September, which would be after the August date, or we could, um kick the can and have you guys

267
01:15:39.160 --> 01:15:54.240
fight it out in court, and then when things get sorted out, we could put it on the agenda and move to the remaining standing party, whoever's left standing. >> Right. You know, as as you're saying that, I'm thinking maybe if we put it on for the

268
01:15:54.240 --> 01:16:09.760
September docket just as a placeholder for anyway, we'd be on the docket, and then if we needed to take it off or uh move it down the road because of delays or uh scheduling or something. >> have to come to an agreement before August 31st. >> Right.

269
01:16:09.760 --> 01:16:26.400
>> So, I I'd say September, too. >> Yeah, I think that makes sense. And that would be our September 16th meeting. Right. >> What time is that? >> Three. >> September 16th. >> Starting at 3:00? >> Yes.

270
01:16:26.400 --> 01:16:41.400
>> However, hearings are usually at the end, so if you're not here right at 3:00, I wouldn't I wouldn't worry about it. >> Thank you, sir. >> Right. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Commissioners. >> Thank you. >> Okay. All right. So, gentlemen, we're We're to adjourn this thing until

271
01:16:41.400 --> 01:17:03.200
September 16th. Um actually I I Maggie has them. She's going to make copies of them. And that concludes the hearings. The only other items on the agenda would be um What do you want to do about um

272
01:17:03.200 --> 01:17:35.720
BK's? We have a series of reports from the state police and a couple of Winthrop police. >> I can see it here. >> Uh do you have them in your packet? >> Mhm. Are they here? >> Yes. Lieutenant, what's your feeling on on

273
01:17:35.720 --> 01:17:54.680
BK's and that situation over there? >> Sorry. I'm sorry. Um Yeah, they've been in here before for similar issues. Um I would like to see probably some beefed-up security. I'm not really sure what they have in there

274
01:17:54.680 --> 01:18:11.760
now. Uh but I think if anybody would need a detail, it's probably them. >> Okay. Well, would you want to call them in for our next meeting? >> Let's call them in. >> All right. Very good. Can Can we uh send BK's a letter to come here for our next meeting?

277
01:18:50.480 --> 01:19:06.360

278
01:19:06.360 --> 01:19:24.320
I would make a motion that we adjourn until July 15th. >> And I will second that. >> Very good. This meeting is adjourned.
