Mr. Martinelli, reported he has been in the restaurant business for about 30 years. He wants to open a local Italian eatery in Louisville. He wants to have the alcohol available to compliment the food. He noted he trains the staff and has had very few problems with the liquor licenses he now holds. Mr. Martinelli was asked about the one incident he noted on the application. He said it was unfortunate and the employee involved was reprimanded and the entire staff retrained.

He reported they anticipated being open only for dinner in the beginning. Carlson closed the public hearing and asked for comments from the Authority.
