Local Licensing Authority Minutes April 22, 2019 Page 3 of 4 to approve the transfer for Italian Restaurant Group LLC. Lipton seconded. All in favor. B. Tastings Application — Tian & Liu LLC d/b/a Brass Monkey — Retail Liquor Store License — 1387 E. South Boulder Road Chairperson Machado introduced the item and stated he felt the application was straightforward. He noted the limits they would impose for tastings and checking of identification. Carlson noted this is likely in response to King Soopers being able to sell full strength beer. Brown moved to approve the tastings permit. Carlson seconded. All in favor. C. Approval of Resolution No. 2, Series 2019 of the Louisville Local Licensing Authority — A Resolution Amending the Lottery Procedures for Retail Marijuana Store and Medical Marijuana Center Licenses Chairperson Machado introduced the item. Authority Attorney Culley noted this makes a slight change to the resolution adopted by the Authority in February. This would increase the number of names to be drawn in the lottery. There have been 20 registrations submitted and staff would like to the ability to rank all of those. Chairperson Machado noted he had submitted some comments but now found out the lottery drawing is tomorrow so felt those no longer applied. He noted the marijuana licenses are very valuable with them being capped at six total. Carlson asked about the cap at six licenses. Authority Attorney Culley stated the ordinance adopted by City Council capped the number of retail and medical marijuana stores at six. The cap had previously been four and was increased to six. Council heard from residents who were worried about there being a proliferation of stores in the city so they only did the increase by two stores. Machado noted this resulted in an intrinsic value for those licenses. He noted he had been at a raffle where the host drew the tickets and picked his own ticket. He wanted to make sure the lottery was operating fairly. Meredyth Muth, City Clerk, introduced herself to the Authority and noted the lottery will be done similarly to the process for choosing name order for the ballot. Names will be drawn by someone not in the City Clerk's office. She noted there are only 4 locations but some of the landlord's stacked leases.
