Maistelman who appeared virtually and said that his client was fully cooperative with the police regarding the robbery item on the police report. Individuals also present: Ald. Coggs said that the reason to have this special meeting was to have the neighbor to provide a context of the videos available. Atty. Maistelman said that he objected to watch the videos without the neighbor being present and providing the narrative and that under the rules of evidence, technically the person who took the video must be here to provide the narrative. Atty. McNally said that this was an opportunity for Ms.Cleveland to appear and authenticate those videos herself and that the alderman who also have sent the same videos as apart of the objection has had an opportunity to review them so it is safe to play the videos for the sake of the community and to understand this license application. Ald. Coggs wanted to clarify that for years we have seen videos without the person who took it being present and that it has not been an issue in the past. Also asked Ald. Rainey how does he want to proceed. Ald. Rainey said that he wants to watch the videos do they can speak by themselves.

Mr. Ray said that he does but they are pointing at the rear door. Ald. Coggs asked if we have the video that the neighbor mentioned about the gun fire. Mr. Ray said that it is an open field next to his place and that there were people shooting fireworks but that it was not him and that the police have access to the surveillance videos without him being present. Added that if there were complaints the police could have come and watch the cameras and that anyone that he knows would not be comfortable shooting a gun in front of a camera and said that the police can come to check his cameras to see if the person shooting is related to his business. Ald. Rainey said that it is hard to come up with a decision without the narrative or the feeling of what was going at the moment because we do not know where this people come from but that there is an issue with a neighbor and said that he will work along with the applicant to see what they can do with city vacant lot and to move forward with this application. Ald. Perez and Ald. Borkowski agreed that no more videos are necessary. Ald. Coggs said to the applicant that it is true that we cannot determinate if that people came out or not from his business but that there is a neighbor with an issue and that he has to work on those issues to run a successful business and that he must take these concerns seriously so we are not back here next year with a hundred videos and the neighbor. Atty. Maistelman said that his client has been open and cooperative and that he was here to address the issues and that we cannot tie what we see on the videos with the business. Ald. Perez moved renewal with a warning letter and said that it is very important that neighbors come forward and take the time to get involved. (Prevailed 4-0)	Pass	4:0

Rainey said that there was a reason why this application was brought back to committee. Mr. Cooney explained that there were videos submitted by a neighbor that were not shown during the committee meeting so the application was returned by the Common Council. Atty. Maistelman said that he believes that the committee gave a suspension for the issues on the police report and that nothing has been added to the police report since March of last year and agrees with Ald. Rainey that the reason of today's hearing is to see the videos. Individuals in opposition: Roshunda Cleveland - 4750 N 37th St Ald. Coggs asked is she was the neighbor who submitted the videos to the License Division and explained to Ms. Cleveland that the reason of today's hearing is to support her allegations with the videos that she provided and that she must provide a verbal context of the videos that we are about to see.

McNally said that he will look into the option to extend the provisional license. Atty. Maistelman said that based on his experience the City has never issued two provisional licenses back to back and added that is not fair to his client to come back for a third time. Ald. Coggs asked Atty. McNally asked if there something preventing the committee from doing it. Atty. McNally said that the second provisional is a less developed area of the ordinances and that there will be an issue if we are going to hold the application today without taking any action before the expiration date. Atty. Maistelman said that is not fair to his client to come back for a third time if the neighbor is not prepared. Ald. Coggs said that the neighbor did what she is supposed to do and that the videos were not shown because the License Division did not mention it during the previous meeting and that we are not going to be unfair to Ms. Cleveland now that she has technical difficulties when we have had technical issues the entire day. Added that is a little gray whether or not if we can issue a second provisional before the council date. Mr. Cooney said that objections to disciplinary actions are due on January 11, 2022. Atty. McNally said that provisional licenses are not renewable after reading further. Ald. Rainey said that he will support the special meeting to see this videos and hopes that Ms. Cleveland be prepared to give the context needed.

(Expires 2/8/2022) The applicant was present along with Obi Obiora who is the agent for the food license. Mr. Obiora said that there is a miscommunication regarding the item number 2 on the police report because he was not aware of that someone was shot and later after reviewing the videos with the police they saw that the person who got shot left the scene and went to the hospital so he had no clue. The police got the phone call from the hospital that someone was shot. Added that he has hired an armed guard to be at the front door to avoid this type of incidents that actually was a scare for themselves as well. Ald.

Angelique L Sharpe - 6161 N 60th St - Villard Ave Business Improvement - said that she is here to share her experiences from the past three years and that on 2022, Oasis was selected to help to bring the community back (sort of a drive) and that they were not only a financial contributor but a community partner allowing them to hold the concerts indoors because of the rain and by participating with a cultural mural, activities and community meetings. Added that Mr. Obiora is working with the police to make a safer community and to revive the neighborhood and that has up scaled the security team. Ald. Perez asked Ms. Sharpe if all the business are open as late as Oasis and if the other business are open during the day and if they have the same plan of operations because it would be a different world of perspective he said. Ms. Sharpe said that Oasis is not the only business that opens at night and pointed out the investment that they are making in their own business and the community. Ald. Perez said that he got a better feel of the environment rather than the business operations. Added that he visits the area frequently. Ald. Hamilton asked if anyone from the police department was present. He said that everything that Angelique and Homer Blow said about Oasis is true and gotten better with the years and have become an anchor or staple for the Villard Ave. but that he also wanted to be honest and said that they cannot scare away long time patrons with that kind of items on the police report. Also said that one of the things that he wants to see moving faster is that the applicant has total control of who promotes his business and there it be a commitment to his long time patrons to avoid situations that carries issues that lasts. Also asked the applicant to take care of those situations before he is brought back to committee again and to be committed to find a business model that does not bring him back here. Added that he wants to see this business succeed and be a model for this type of business and to raise the level of expectation and to continue the legacy of this business. Also said that he wanted to acknowledge what this business do for the business district and recommended renewal with a warning letter and to commit to find the business model that is needed to succeed. Ald. Kovac said that he wanted to circle back on the shooting item because the police report is very clear about the casings and floor on the floor and that the security guard missed all that. Mr. Obiora said that he was at the office at the moment and the security guard was checking customers so the guard was not able to see what happened because it happened so fast and from a moving vehicle and that the victims left right away. Added that last year he had a renewal with no issues and that now he has more security outside. Ald. Kovac said that the applicant is cooperative and with having the support of the alderperson and the community moved renewal with a warning letter based on the police report. (Prevailed 4-1)	Pass	4:1
