Findings and Order - Show Cause Hearing - The Back Room Brewery, Inc. d/b/a The Back Room - Hotel and Restaurant Liquor License - 328 S.McCaslin Blvd. - 2/13/06 Incident - Chairperson Mulvahill noted the licensee, Tom Newman and the Special Prosecutor, Stefan Fredericksmeyer were both present. Attorney Light reminded the Authority they had taken evidence on this issue at the April meeting and had directed the Attorney to prepare a draft of written findings and an order for consideration at this meeting after a continuance was granted. At this time, the licensee and the special prosecutor can present any evidence or final comments they wish the Authority to consider in mitigation of this matter. He pointed to the Rules of Procedure for the Authority concerning the things the members could consider in completing the findings and order. Chairperson Mulvahill asked Mr. Fredericksmeyer if he had anything to present to the Authority. Mr. Fredricksmeyer chose to comment after Mr. Newman except to remind the Authority there was an order from a previous violation with 2 days held in abeyance. Chairperson Mulvahill inquired if Mr. Newman had any items he wished to present to the Authority before their decision. Mr. Newman stated he would like the Authority to consider two items. He pointed out the two incidents were more than a year apart, but because of the way the order was written and the fact there were two continuances granted for the hearing, the two days held in abeyance come into play with this incident. He also reported he has installed a camera system in his establishment. He stated the bartender in this incident had attended training and he makes sure all his bartenders attend training during the year. Mr. Fredericksmeyer commended Mr. Newman for the steps he had taken to avoid future incidents and appearances in front of the Authority. He reminded the Authority of the way the previous order was written and of the two days held in abeyance. He stressed the police should have been called when the incident was occurring in the bar and also should have been called during the fight outside the bar.
