Individuals in support: Michael La Fuente – 8515 S 27th St – said that he has known the applicant for 15 years and that the applicant has been a mentor in becoming a business owner, conducting his business and his presence in the community. Ald. Borkowski asked Mr. La Fuente if he has a gun at his business. Mr. La Fuente said that he also has a CCW permit, that he carries a gun because he handles cash at his business and that he has a good relationship with the Greenfield Police Department. Ald. Coggs asked for a clarification about the guns being in possession of the applicant and if the guns were in the building or on his person. Officer Benitez said that possession means that were found in the building which is the applicant’s property. Ald. Coggs asked Atty. Farris what is the law about to have firearms in possession (even in the building) as a felon. Officer Benitez said that according to his experience, the firearms are not allowed in the felon’s property. Ald. Coggs said that the applicant is saying that the firearms were not his but that they were in the premises that belongs to him and recommended the applicant to get some legal advice. The applicants said that her attorney is here. Atty. Heather Richmond mentioned her appearance. Ald. Coggs said that the police report is giving the applicant credit for all the firearms and based on what he said, none of them were his. The applicant said that he has been working with his attorney on his expungement over the last three years with the Second Chance Act through Gov. Evers. He added that many things have changed since the incident, that he has gotten rid of the staff that was messing with his business and the ways to support his family. He added that he has been 12 years at this location with no police report. He added that he never has had a HD issue, not even a violation and that he has a good relationship with neighbors and the local businesses. He also said that the firearms were there but that they are not a threat to the community. Ald. Coggs asked what is his policy now. The applicant said that no firearms are allowed even if the person has a CCW permit. He also added that they have upgraded the surveillance and lighting system around the premises. Individuals in support: Maria Taylor – 3333A S 6th St she said that she is the manager at Einstein’s and that this business bring customers where she works and that she calls them whenever she needs help with people loitering around.

He added that the applicant is a great man who gives people chances. He added that this situation feels like animosity from somebody because there is nothing illegal going on there. He added that the officers just took the firearms and left and that he does not know to who contact in order to follow up. Ald. Spiker asked the applicant if he was present when the location was raided. The applicant said that he was not. He added that he used to be there on Mondays (when they are closed) for banking and purchasing supplies purposes. Ald. Spiker said that the amount of firearms was excessive and that the silencer is not for self defense purposes and asked the applicant if he has given thought to whether his business should be trafficking in this much cash and that the 140 grams of THC suggest that they may be a reason why. The applicant said that he cannot speak on the THC matter but that his annual credit card sales go from $400 $500K and that the annual cash sales go anywhere from $100K to $250K. He also said that the businesses around do more or less the same amounts and they have been robbed multiple times. Ald. Spiker said that the search was granted by a court commissioner and that target of the search was Mr. Flores and asked the applicant if he knows why he was the target. The applicant said that his name was not in the original search warrant; only his business name and address and that he has a copy. Ald. Spiker said that he is highly disturbed by the fact that a felon was in possession of all these weapons even if there were their employees and having switched practices. He also said that he is bothered by the amount of THC found over there which also causes him a great deal of concern because the shop was neglected at the point that the applicant did not know what was going on and that it is a safety issue for the community. He recommended a 90 day suspension. Ald. Chambers asked the applicant if he has thought about having an armed security guard instead of having the staff carrying guns. The applicant said that he has given the thought but he thinks that it won’t be a good vibe for his business. Ald. Coggs suggested leaning more on being cashless like other establishments. The applicant said that he wanted to clarify that the THC was found in someone’s vehicle and has nothing to do with the store. He added that he has been in the business for 12 years, that he has a good relationship with the health inspectors, that he has done many things trying to turn this industry around. He also said that they are not a nuisance to neighborhood, that they never had an issue before and that he does not understand where all this comes from. He also said that they have been open except for the last month and that no one has been charged, not even the person in possession of the THC. He added that they did not get a copy of the police report until they received this hearing's notice. He also said that the police reports were never released to his attorney and that the raid took place back in April. Ald. Borkowski said that the applicant has taken responsibility, that it has been closed for the last month or so and that no one has been charged. Ald. Chambers said that he is also conflicted by the fact that no one has been charged or fined. Ald. Chambers moved renewal with a 45 (forty five) day suspension based upon the preponderance of the evidence in the police report, aldermanic testimony and the applicant’s testimony for the admission of the things that had occurred at the location that demonstrates the operation results in a threat to health, safety or welfare of the public. (Prevailed 4-1) Ald. Coggs said to the applicant that he may have had 12 years of success but that there was a lapse in his management even staying open after the license expired.	Pass	4:1
