Louisville Local Licensing Authority Meeting Date: October 30, 2000 Page 5 Attorney Joss noted for the Authority that, based on disclosures by the licensee and subsequent to the subpoena of records, this establishment has been operating as a corporation since September 1999. Additionally, the registered manager, Jamal Qureshi, currently resides in another state and has done so for most of this calendar year. Special Prosecutor Joss summarized that while the current licensee is a part owner in the formed corporation, a complete transfer application must be filed with the Authority to facilitate transfer of the current liquor license from a sole proprietorship, under the name of Zuned Khan, to the proper corporate ownership under the name of Taj Mahal III, Inc. Attorney Joss noted that a transfer application was submitted to Deputy City Clerk Bolte on Friday, October 27, 2000; however, there are documents missing, including a lease, fingerprint cards for two stockholders, and a complete individual history record for Zuned Khan. Special Prosecutor Joss again stated that the proposed Stipulation calls for suspension of the current license from the date the order is signed until the next regular meeting of the Authority. He stated that by accepting the Stipulation, it would allow the owners of the corporation to gather the remaining documents needed for a submittal of a complete transfer application and protect the current license, which must be valid in order to facilitate a transfer. Attorney Joss pointed out that, should the Authority deny the renewal application, the corporation Taj Mahal III, Inc. would be required to submit a new application and meet all the necessary criteria of a new license. Attorney Joss stated that he had reviewed the Stipulation with Mr. Khan, the current licensee, that Mr. Khan understands the agreement, and has verbally agreed to comply the terms as outlined. Attorney Joss stated that Mr. Khan was present and available to answer Authority questions. Member Jeffers asked Special Prosecutor Joss if, by approving the proposed Stipulation and Agreement, the Authority was in some way approving the renewal application. Attorney Joss stated that approval of the Stipulation would in no way be approval of the renewal application. Member Kimmett asked Attorney Joss if the current licensee understood that approval of the Stipulation does not guarantee approval of either the renewal application or transfer application at the November 27, 2000 meeting. Attorney Joss stated that the licensee understands that the issue may not be resolved at the November 27, 2000 meeting and that their liquor license will remain suspended until advised otherwise. Chairperson Myers asked if there was a draft of the proposed Stipulation. Special Prosecutor Joss stated that because this agreement was reached just prior to this meeting, a draft was not available. Member Kimmett moved to approve the Stipulation and Agreement as outlined subject to review and acceptance of the written document by the licensee Mr. Zuned Khan and Authority Chairperson Myers. Chairperson Myers called for Mr. Khan to come forward, state his name and address and answer questions of the Authority prior to approval of the motion.
