The agreement is the licensee will admit to two of the violations and the third will be dismissed. The license will be suspended for a period of 10 days with 5 days held in abeyance. The licensee cannot have any liquor violations for a one year period and all employees must attend training within sixty days. Dan Carr, Attorney for Tri -City Elks, noted the current employees have already attended TIPS training except for one recently hired employee who will attend. He said the licensee is aware they can petition to pay a fine in lieu but have chosen to close for the suspension days. They requested the days of suspension be April 16 -20, 2016. He noted the three violations cited in the order to show cause are really all the same, not three separate violations; all relating to one incident of serving to a visibly intoxicated person.

He was concerned about service to a known alcoholic and them driving in the downtown area with many citizens present during the Parade of Lights. He stressed the safety concern. Dan Carr noted Jennifer Knott, manager at the Elks Club, expressed that same safety concern when she found out what happened. He wanted it known this was only one incident not three different ones.
