Ovbiagele. The police report was read. Atty. Ovbiagele said that for item 28, it was a situation where security guards were doing their job with a patron being removed and the security guard was assaulted. He explained that the DA cleared the charge as self defense. As for item 29, he said that it was about a patron who was kicked out and hit a guard with a vehicle and that he thinks that the business was the victim in this case. For the February 23,2026 event, he said that his client confirmed that the person was never at his establishment and that there is no evidence that the shooting is linked to the business nor his client. He added that he has talked to his client regarding the license checks and that there were bookkeeping issues for not having the proper receipts. As for the premix beverages found, he said that his client had a large event that day and they premixed margaritas and long island tea, but that his client has changed his operations for large events since then.

Burgelis asked who made the determination that the shooting victim was not at the location when the surveillance video was not available. Atty.

He also said that MPD came back for the footage at a later time. Ald. Burgelis asked the applicant if he had given access to the surveillance system to other staff members when needed. The applicant answered “yes”. There were no neighbors present to testify. Ald.

She added that she is aware that AI makes it difficult to detect fake ids but there have been two occasions where MPD had to disperse large groups of underage people fighting. She recommended a 15 day suspension. Atty. Ovbiagele said that they have been in communication with Ald. Taylor throughout the year and that her position surprises him. He added that the second item is the most problematic with the intoxicated driver; they check ids but technology advances quickly and it cannot keep up with fake ids. He also said that he understands the nature and seriousness of the incidents but that his client has not been given any disciplinary action before. Ald. Brower moved renewal with a 10 (ten) day suspension based upon the preponderance of the evidence on the police report that demonstrates the operation results in a threat to the health, safety or welfare of the public.
