Louisville Local Licensing Authority Meeting Date: May 14, 2001 7 Attorney Moore asked Mr. Davis if he ever received a notice from the state indicating that the September 2000 payment was delinquent. Davis stated he did not. Mr. Davis stated that Mr. Kowalis told him that only the three checks noted on the copy were outstanding plus the December 2000 payment. Mr. Davis stated that the December payment was paid late and sent on January 3, 2001, check #1480 in the amount of 1,446.00. Davis stated that the payment for December 2000 had already been sent and cleared his bank by the time Mr. Kowalis came to the restaurant on January 12, 2001. Attorney Moore asked Mr. Davis to recap the demands for payment by Mr. Kowalis. Mr. Davis stated that Mr. Kowalis told him that if the $5,448.87 was paid by January 17th, they would waive approximately $2,200 in penalties and interest because of a bookkeeping error on the part of the state. Mr. Davis corrected himself and stated he had until January 27th to make the payment. Mr. Davis corrected himself again and stated that Mr. Kowalis came to the restaurant on February 12, 2001 not January 12, 2001 and that he had until February 27, 2001 to make the $5,448.87 payment. Davis stated that he made two payments; one on a Tuesday in the amount of $4,000, cashiers check #477400148, dated February 22, 2001, and the other payment on Friday of that week in the amount of $1,448.87. Mr. Davis stated he did not have a copy of the cashier's check for the second payment, but stated that if the payment was not made by that Friday, the state was going to lock down the business. Davis stated that since the business was not locked down by the state, the Authority could assume that the payment was made even though he could not supply a copy of the cashier's check. Mr. Davis stated again that the December 2000 payment was paid late, on January 3, 2001 and that there were some small payments made after that date for penalties and interest. Davis stated that the more current payments include check #1617, dated March 20, 2001 for $1241.00, check #1520, dated February 6, 2001 for $213.11, and check #1531, also dated February 6, 2001 for $31.00. Mr. Davis stated that the February 2001 sales tax payment was made on March 7, 2001, check stub #1579, in the amount of $1,120.00. Mr. Davis stated that he has not talked to Mr. Kowalis since early March 2001. Davis stated that during the last conversation, Mr. Kowalis stated that the state had received the payments made in certified funds and the December 2000 payment for $1,446.00, and that their account was current as far as the state was concerned for the year 2000. Mr. Davis stated that he was surprised to learn that they are delinquent on payment of September 2000 sales tax since he has not received any notices from the state, and it is now May 2001. Mr. Davis stated that they made the September payment. Mr. Davis stated that he questions the accuracy of the state's records. Chairperson Myers asked if a copy of the check for the September 2000 payment was included in the documents provided to the Authority. Mr. Davis stated that he did not go all the way back to September 2000 ~vhen copying records for the Authority, because Mr. Kowalis told him that once the payment of $5,448.87 was made, their account would be current for 2000. Member IGmmett asked Mr. Davis when sales tax payments are due. Mr. Davis stated the 20th of each month. Kimmett asked Mr. Davis to go through some of the payments for clarification. Kimmett asked Mr. Davis if check #1418, dated November 20, 2000 was for October 2000 sales tax. Davis stated that was correct. Chairperson Myers stated that the NSF stamped on check #1418 means that Mr. Davis' bank did not pay that check. Mr. Davis stated that the three checks noted on that copy, #1418, #10000 and #1391 were the checks he had to make good on with the state in certified funds. 7 \\FRED\VARRAN\LIQUOR\2001 \MiNUTES\MiNUTES051401 .DOC
