Secretary Hanson stated the application was complete and included in the Authority packet. Background checks were conducted and returned with no criminal history. The hearing had been posted and published in accordance with state law. There was no reason found to require denial of the application. Chairperson Tennessen called for any member disclosures, hearing none, called for any objections to the boundaries of the neighborhood being the current city limits of the City of Louisville. Hearing no objections, he moved the entire application be made a part of the record of this hearing. Lipton seconded. All in favor. Tennessen called for an applicant presentation. Andy Clark, 7280 Mt. Sherman Road, Longmont, CO introduced himself to the Authority and took the oath. He explained the business is a bakery/cafe and open from 7AM to 4PM seven days a week. One evening a week, they provide pizza and have a bluegrass music jam. Primarily, the idea for the liquor license was to have beer and wine available during the evening music jam. Then they would also be able to serve alcohol during the week. He noted the liquor would be a small aspect of what they do. Mr. Clark was asked about the back patio. He responded they were including the back patio in the premises and there would be signage and employees checking the area periodically. Tennessen asked for any comments in favor of the application. Jim Pribyl, 1803 Gallagher Lane, Louisville, CO noted he used to live next door to Moxie. He came to speak in favor of the application. He noted he led a campaign against the density of liquor licenses in Boulder; he found this a very different situation. He felt Mr. Clark had done a good job of establishing this business and encouraged the Authority to approve the liquor license. Tennessen asked for any member of the audience who wished to speak in opposition to the application. Hearing none, he asked for the applicant's closing remarks. Mr. Clark thanked the Authority and asked the liquor license be granted. Tennessen thanked the applicant, closed the public hearing and asked for Authority comment.
