Local Licensing Authority Minutes April 26, 2010 Page 3 of 6 E. Show Cause Hearing Village Square B "O" B d /b /a Beef "0" Brady's Hotel and Restaurant Liquor License 585 E. South Boulder Road 3/14/10 Incident Chairperson Lipton opened the hearing. Special Prosecutor for the Authority, Kristin Brown, introduced herself to the Authority. Bob Dill, Attorney for licensee Beef "0" Brady's, introduced himself to the Authority. Both attorneys affirmed they were ready to proceed. Ms. Brown reported to the Authority there was a stipulation reached with the licensee. She outlined the terms of the stipulation. The Licensee would admit to a violation of Louisville Municipal Code §9.22.050 involving failure to immediately notify law enforcement of a disturbance at the licensed premises. All other alleged violations would be dismissed. The license would be suspended for a period of seven days with four days held in abeyance. The suspension would run concurrent with a suspension on the upcoming matter. Wilson objected to approving the stipulation item number 4, which addressed the suspension running concurrent with the other case. She suggested approval without that particular item until seeing the other stipulation. Carlson stated he believed there should be more days served. Lipton brought up paying a fine in lieu. Attorney Culley reminded the Authority there were items such as dates of suspension, gross revenues from the licensee, a petition from the licensee and acceptance of the stipulations to be resolved before a fine in lieu could be considered. Gunning asked what steps had been taken to make sure incidents like this did not re- occur. Tim Brasel, owner of the establishment, took the oath and answered questions from Mr. Dill about the failure to report and how he would approach it in the future. Mr. Brasel responded the employees had been instructed, and are reminded consistently, to call the police and not try to take matters into their own hands. Rommelfanger moved to accept the stipulation presented by the Special Prosecutor with the exclusion of item #4 concerning running concurrent with the next stipulation. Wilson seconded. Roll Call Vote: Rommelfanger yes, Wilson yes, Carlson no, Gunning yes, and Lipton yes. Stipulation accepted with amendment. Discussion by the Authority and Mr. Dill centered on the dates for suspension and the procedure surrounding payment of a fine in lieu.
