The applicant is at the table, as is Alex Runner of Ald. Hines' office.
No police report from the previous five years.
Attorney Paul Oberer, Chicago, IL, is an individual named Manjit Singh Dhillon's attorney. He testifies that there is pending litigation involving the location. There is a hearing scheduled next week, and the attorney says his client has a better claim on the property. So he objects to the license.
City Attorney Tom Miller recommends holding the application until the issue is resolved. He thinks holding off on granting the license would be wise, but the city can move forward.
Ald. Zielinski wants to know about the repercussions/exposure to the city if it is granted during pending litigation.
Attorney Oberer says there has been no lease or property conveyance.
Ald. Hines' office does not support the applicant.
Ald. Zielinski wants a legal opinion from the City Attorney's office indicating whether there would be any exposure to the city if the license were granted.

Minutes note: 12 SINGH, Satwinder, Agent for “Ravneet Petroleum, Inc.”, Class “A” Malt application for “Brothers Mini Mart” at 2500 S. 13th Street. Special Letter
Applicant is at the table.
The applicant intends to operate the same way as the current applicant, and he has fifteen years of gas station experience.
One neighborhood objector is present.
Barbara Nelson, 1024 W. Lincoln Ave., lives 5 blocks away. She testified about the concentration of alcohol establishments. Although she lives five blocks away, she addressed the problem of people who buy their alcohol at establishments such as the Mini Mart and travel the neighborhood inebriated.
Ald. Zielinski moves to make the photo submitted by Ms. Nelson a part of the record. Prevailed 5-0
Ald. Coggs asks how Ms. Nelson knows that the person in the photograph got the liquor from the establishment in question. Ms. Nelson admits that she does not know for sure that the person in the picture obtained his alcohol from the establishment.
One supporter present. Mohammed Hussien 976 S. 58th St., current licensee. He says there were few to no violations while he owned it and he says he never had a problem with the neighborhood/neighbors.
Ald. Witkowiak says the area is one of the most overconcentrated in the city with regards to alcohol. He says he doesn't usually consider concentration when an establishment has not been closed, only when it opens new with a new owner.
He says the new applicant with no substantial police record will be supported because there is no change in the status quo. He doesn't enthusiastically support the application, but will support this kind of application as he has in the past. Does not oppose.
Ald. Kovac moves to add the submitted concentration map to the record. Prevailed 5-0
Ald. Coggs suggests to the applicant that he meet with the neighbors.

Minutes note: 12 CERDA, Socorro, Class “B” Tavern renewal application for “Club 6th Street” at 2101 S. 6th Street. (expires 8-1) Special Letter
Applicant is at the table, as is Ald. Witkowiak.
According to the police department, some police activity was done as part of a sting operation that was not revealed to the owners.
Currently, there is usually only one, maybe two bartenders. Appicant says they tried having security but it didn't really work. Ald. Coggs asks about security cameras, of which the app says there are none. The applicant says having security is expensive for a small business.
Ald. Hamilton says he doesn't believe that there is the lack of knowledge of all the drug activity. He wants to hear acceptance of responsibility.
Blas Cerda, 2214 S. 14th St., father of the applicant and bartender, at the table. He says if he sees any illegal activity, he tells the customers to leave. The applicant says that no member of her family has ever been arrested for selling drugs. Mr. Cerda had a previous drug conviction for possession, but not for selling.
Regarding the contaminated bottles of liquor, the bottles were contaminated with fruit flies, but the applicant says they now do a better job of cleaning and keeping the bottles covered. Regarding missing receipts mentioned in the police report, the applicant states that the receipts were just not at the location at the time.
Applicant says she was aware of previous arrests, about two, but was not made aware of all the activity until she received the notice to appear. She thought they were doing a sufficient job of curbing the previously known drub activity. Only family members bartend at the location.
No objectors present.
Ald. Witkowiak thinks the establishment is a victim of some of its patrons. Ald. Kovac wants to know about the impact of previous warning letters. Ald. Witkowiak thinks they've been taken to heart and thinks the applicant will be vigilant from now on.
Grant by Ald. Zielinski with a 60 day suspension based on the police report. Prevailed 3-2, Ald. Coggs and Ald. Bohl voting no.

Atty. David Bangert appearing with the applicant. Tom Neubauer, representative of Ogden properties, at the table also.
Six neighborhood objectors present.
Pete Miller, 1914 W. Salem St, lives 1/2 block away. He says he has been approached at the location by underaged people to buy cigarettes and alcohol. He says he sees garbage cans knocked over, a lot of noise and people hanging around; a very unkempt property.
Chris Monroe, 6318 S. 20th St. , across the street from the establishment; witnessed young patrons squeal tires, play loud music, loitering, throwing garbage on the parking lot grounds and on the condo property. The incidents disappeared when the previous establishment closed. Hand delivered a complaint to the applicant with no response.
Gale Dobron, 1914 W. Salem St., worked 2nd shift until December. Would arrive at 9:15 or 9:30 pm home to a number of cars and noise in the parking lot and young people milling around. According to Ms. Dobron, since the business has ceased operation, the problems have disappeared. Atty Banger asks about the store's closing time of 9:00pm, but Ms. Dobron said that the lights would still be on past 9:00 pm.
Elizabeth Kozinski, 6304 S. 20th St. When walking her dog, she observed loud behavior, including a man regularly shouting across the street. She says the problems disappeared once the business closed.
Thomas Frozena, 6382 S. 20th St., agrees with previous testimony.
Chester Kuzminski, 1814 W. Salem, 1/2 block away, Vice President of the College Heights Neighborhood Association. He agrees with the other neighbors and says the association was formed as a result of the problems at the location. He requests that the license not be renewed for the health of the neighborhood.
Michael Murphy, 4171 S. 1st Pl, a few miles from the location. He is a representative for the Garden District Neighborhood Association. The organization opposes the license.
Ald. Witkowski held a meeting last year about a new applicant and says it was opposed by the neighbors. He also says the location was not a establishment that was kept up when it was in business and problems were not addressed. He recommends denial of the license.
The location's license was granted last year, but it was not issued. But renewal rights are retained up to a year after the license is granted.
The applicant says he closed previously due to financial problems and termination of the lease.
Mr. Neubauer/Ogden is working on a new lease with Mr. Shah.
The applicant says the business is fifty percent convenience and fifty percent liquor/beer, but the money coming in is higher for the alcohol, which makes it appear to be thirty percent/seventy percent.
Greg Kawczynski, 6666 S. 20th St., 2 blocks away, owner of the ice cream shop in the nearby strip mall. He closes the store every night, and thinks a lot of the complaints are exaggerated. He says a majority of the trash is from his establishment and many noisy people are from the laundromat, which is open later than the location requesting the license. He says the VIP is the anchor of the strip mall and its closing has resulted in a twenty percent decrease in business. He is selling his business and cannot tell potential buyers what will be in the adjoining location.
Atty. Bangert said there were plans for improvement of the business. But Ald. Witkowski sees no resolve to change and will not change his recommendation of denial.
Ald. Kovac moves to make the entire police report part of the record. Prevailed 5-0
Ald. Zielinski moves for non-renewal due to neighborhood objections; the fact that the applicant's lease was terminated and his ability to operate anything on the premises was terminated; and due to the entire police report. Prevailed 4-1, Ald. Coggs voting no.
Counsel requests a copy of the Findings of Fact.

Minutes note: 14 VILLARREAL, Carmen, Agent for “Villarreal 13, LLC”, Class “A” Liquor & Malt application for “Mi Super Foods” at 3101 S. 13th Street. New Location
Special Letter
Attorney John Clark, 788 N. Jefferson St., at the table with the applicant.
The license is for a new location. The police report is for the previous location at 2200 S. 13th St. where the applicant has operated a location with a liquor license for the past seven years. The co-owner that was on site at the previous location at the time the items on the police report occurred, Robert Montemayor, is no longer involved in the business.
Ald. Zielinski inquires about the amount of parking spaces that will be available at the location. The applicant says that twenty-three are currently marked, and if the parking lot is reconfigured, there could be up to thirty. Ald. Zielinski presents an e-mail from Traffic Engineering saying that the lot could only hold up to twenty-three spots if reconfigured.
Ald. Kovac moves to make the e-mail from Kevin Ansec of Traffic Engineering regarding the possible amount of parking spaces at the location part of the record. Prevailed 5-0
Sgt. Ulickey asks the applicant about the status of Robert Montemayor in the applicant's business, and she stated that Mr. Montemayor exited the business on September 13th, 2006.
Atty. Clark points out that the location will be for a supermarket, with liquor sales as only part of the service and that the location will be a service to the community. He also mentions that the former partner of the applicant is opening a competing supermarket one block away and was granted a Class "A" liquor license that will not take effect until next March when the non-compete with the applicant ends.
The applicant mentions that security is present in the afternoon and that the business is active in the community. Liquor will be behind the counter and wine and beer will be out on the floor of the store. She also says alcohol sales will keep food prices lower. The plan is to mirror the current store's operations with regards to alcohol sales.
Ald. Witkowski's Legislative Assistant Catherine Cooper is at the table. The alderman's district borders the area and the alderman's office is in support of the applicant. She says that two neighborhood associations from the area are in favor of the business.
Neighborhood Objectors present:
Dale Trostorff, 2685 S. 13th St., a little more than four blocks away. Is opposed to the concentration of liquor establishments in the area. He says a substantial number of the people at a neighborhood meeting on May 22nd were opposed to more than one liquor establishment in the area. Mr. Trostorff is a liquor store owner. He knows the owner of the TruValue store that will become the location for the grocery store being opened by Robert Montemayor.
Michael Cousert, 2724 S. 13th St., Apt. D, four blocks away. Is opposed to another place that sells alcohol and believes that there are already enough grocery stores as well. Knows the owner of the business location of Mr. Montemayor and Mr. Montemayor himself. He says that he has seen vagrants with brown bags around the store that the applicant already runs and has not seen any security staff outside.
Ronald Gutierrez, 125 Goodwin Pl, Mundelein, IL. He is opening a business immediately west of the location. Is concerned about the suitability of the site for a grocery store and thinks it will infringe upon the limited parking for his tax service establishment. He is also concerned about the litter that can be generated by liquor sales.
Atty Clark asks about the applicant's relationship to the owner of the building where his business will be. Mr. Gutierrez will be Mr. Montemayor's tenant.
Ricardo Ceja, 2873 S. 13th St., about two blocks away. He is in favor of the 13th St. renovation and opposes another liquor license. He was at the community meeting in May. He would rather the license be given to another location across the street from his house that has already been in the area.
Atty. Clark asks about the relationship between Mr. Ceja and the owner of the building where the other grocery store is planned. The owner of the building, Robert Montemayor, is the landlord of the objector.
Sergio Gomez, 1915 S. 12th St, about a mile away. Worked at TruValue and travelled 13th street everyday. Is opposed to the license because he doesn't see the need for another liquor store. He would like to work for Mr. Montemayor's planned supermarket if possible.
Robert Montemayor, landlord of the building a block away and planning on opening up his own grocery store at 3014 S. 14th St..
Atty. Clark asks about parking spaces for the grocery business the applicant is opening next March. The objector says he will have twenty spaces and access to additional spaces next door.
Neighborhood supporters:
Maria Monreal-Cameron, President & CEO of Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for the last nineteen years. The HCoC supports the applicants due to the applicant's reputation in the community. The applicant is a member of the Chamber of Commerce in good standing.
Oralia Lozano Lombrano (Lollie Lozano), acting as a character witness for the family/applicant. She thinks that having another store would be a good asset and will add more jobs to the community and says she has not seen any people outside the store with alcohol.
Lt. Gary Adyniec of the Metro Private Police, Cudahy, provides security to the establishment the applicant already operates. He is in support of the establishment.
Dorothy Williams, 3139 S. 14th St., about a block away, wants the establishment and thinks it will be family-friendly and convenient. She received a flyer secondhand from a neighbor encouraging people to come in and oppose the liquor application. There was no name on the flyer.
Diane Kosarzycki, 3373 S. 18th St., five blocks away, President of Holt Park Neighborhood Association. Says the establishment is welcome by the association and strongly recommends the license.
Maria Villalobos, 3147 S. 9th Place, through a translator says that the store is a good opportunity for the community. She says the goes to the current location with her children and has no problem.
Ald. Kovac moves to make the concentration map based on 3101 S. 13th St. part of the record. Prevailed 5-0
Ald. Coggs moves to make a memorandum dated June 30th, 2008, from the office of Ald. Tony Zielinski as part of the record. Prevailed 5-0
Ald. Zielinski says that it is not in the best interest of the neighborhood and will abstain from voting. Ald. Hamilton missed part of the testimony, so he requests to abstain as well.
Ald. Coggs points out that the alcohol establishments named in the memorandum are full service liquor stores and not grocery stores.
