<br />
<br />A. Incident Report - Romero's Liquors
<br />
<br />Chairperson Myers stated that Sergeant Riggins was not present at the meeting and suggested continuing the
<br />incident report to the next regularly scheduled meeting. Several members stated that agenda for June was rather
<br />large and suggested reviewing the report this evening.
<br />
<br />Members asked if this incident was at the same establishment as discussed at the June meeting. Deputy City
<br />Clerk Bolte stated that the incident reviewed at the June meeting was for Druids Arms although the same person
<br />is involved in this incident at Romero's Liquors.
<br />
<br />Member Koertje stated some concern with the timing stated in the report. Member Kimmett stated that he
<br />surmised from the report that the person was at the American Legion before making her purchase at Romero's
<br />Liquors.
<br />
<br />Members also discussed whether it was legal to give a visibly intoxicated person alcohol that they had previously
<br />purchased while not intoxicated. Attorney Harrington stated that the statutes state it is unlawful to sell, serve, or
<br />give away liquor to a visibly intoxicated person as well as allow an intoxicated person to consume alcohol.
<br />
<br />Member Koertje moved to amend the order for a Show Cause hearing drafted for the March 24, 2001 incident
