Local Licensing Authority Minutes August 26, 2013 Page 3 of 4 They practice a “hands-on” type of ownership and management and training servers is a high priority. Authority member Carlson disclosed he has known Kevin Reed for many years but did not feel the relationship would influence his decision in any way. Wilson asked for clarification concerning violations at the Boulder location. Mr. Schmanski stated there was only the one violation. Carlson inquired if the dynamic was going to change since there have been a number of police calls to the establishment. Mr. Schmanski stated there were no plans to make broad changes but felt training staff would be the key. Mr. Reed stated they wanted to create an environment to discourage violations. They would like to make changes as the business evolves. Chairperson Rommelfanger asked the applicants to stay and listen to the discussion on the police department reports reviewed by the Authority later in the meeting. Authority Attorney Culley reminded members the responsibility of any of the violations flows to the license holder. If the transfer is completed, the violations the Authority is considering tonight would be the responsibility of the current owner, not KCM Restaurant Holdings. Wilson moved the transfer application of a Hotel and Restaurant Liquor License for KCM Restaurant Holdings, LLC d/b/a Ralphie’s Sports Tavern be approved contingent on the closing taking place. Carlson seconded. Roll Call Vote: Rommelfanger – yes, Carlson – yes, Machado – yes, Wilson – yes and Lipton - yes. Police Department Reports A. Incident Report – Ralphie’s This incident involves the licensee failing to pay City sales tax. Hanson reported the taxes were up to date. Authority members concluded no further action needed to be taken especially in light of the transfer application just approved. B. Incident Report – Ralphie’s – 8/3/13 Police stopped a vehicle and found the driver had been drinking, reportedly at Ralphie’s. Sergeant Lanphere spoke to the reporting officer and the follow up on the incident did not give any insight on the amount of alcohol served. Wilson felt due to the transfer the point was moot, but would likely have requested an order to show cause under other circumstances. After discussion and in light of the transfer of this license, Authority members agreed no action needed to be taken.
