TITL:
Substitute motion to approve the recommendation of the Utilities and Licenses Committee relative to the request for the revocation of a Class "B" Retailer's Intoxicating Liquor license of Richard Dione Polk, licensee for the "Next Best Thing", located at 5300 West Villard Avenue, in the 1st Aldermanic District.

This substitute motion revokes the Class "B" Retailer's Intoxicating Liquor license of Richard Dione Polk, for the "Next Best Thing", located at 5300 West Villard Avenue, in the 1st Aldermanic District.
BODY:
Whereas, The Utilities and Licenses Committee held an evidentiary hearing on January 9, 1998, at 9:00 A.M., relative to the revocation of the Class "B" Retailer's Intoxicating Liquor license for Richard Dione Polk, licensee for "Next Best Thing" for the premises located at 5300 West Villard Avenue; and
Whereas, The Committee found that the premise operated in violation of the ordinances of the City of Milwaukee, and otherwise constitutes a substantial and adverse threat to the health, safety, convenience and prosperity of the immediate neighborhood and that it is in the best interest of the community that the license of the Licensee, Richard Dione Polk, for the "Next Best Thing", located at 5300 West Villard Avenue, be revoked; and
Whereas, The Utilities and Licenses Committee, after hearing all of the testimony of the complainants, the Milwaukee Police Department, neighborhood witnesses, voted unanimously (5 ayes and 0 noes) to recommend revocation of said license; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, hereby accepts the recommendation of the Utilities and Licenses Committee and finds true the allegations of the complaint and hereby revokes the Class "B" Intoxicating Liquor license of Richard Dione Polk for "Next Best Thing" at 5300 West Villard Avenue, based upon police and neighborhood objections.
