LOCAL LICENSING AUTHORITY 749 MAIN STREET, LOUISVILLE, COLORADO 80027 (303) 335-4574 2009 ANNUAL REPORT FORWARD: 2009 was a busy year for the Louisville Local Licensing Authority. We continue to have responsible licensees in the city. The occasions where the Authority was required to take action were the exceptions, and the rulings of the Authority brought subsequent compliance. The Louisville Police Department, working with other area law enforcement agencies, has continued to provide training to licensees. We have observed a consistent level of participation from our Louisville licensees. The Authority appreciates the Police Department’s continued effort to educate and train local licensees. The Authority believes the training and assistance offered to local licensees by the Police Department and Carol Hanson, Deputy City Clerk and Secretary to the Authority, have made a positive impact on licensees’ compliance with state and local laws. In addition, Ms. Hanson continues to publish “Louisville Liquor Lore”, a periodic newsletter informing merchants, licensees, and citizens of training opportunities and other useful information. The Authority benefits from, and is appreciative of, the advice and counsel from, Sam Light and Melinda Culley, attorneys for the Authority. Much appreciation also goes to the Police Department, particularly Sergeant Jay Lanphere and Officer Cristi Gordanier, for their time and commitment to the Authority; their services as liaisons between the Authority and the Department have been helpful. We would be remiss if The Authority failed to note the invaluable knowledge, assistance and contributions of Authority Secretary, Carol Hanson. It is difficult to imagine operating without her expertise and keenness for Authority matters. The Authority is fortunate to have the services of all of these dedicated professionals and we look forward to a productive 2010. John Carlson Chairperson Local Licensing Authority í
