Minutes note: 04 PECOR, Sierra A, Agent for "CROSS CULTURE HOSPITALITY LLC", Class B Tavern, Public Entertainment Premises and Food Dealer Licenses Application Requesting Instrumental Musicians, Disc Jockey, Jukebox, Hookah Service, Karaoke, 4 Amusement Machines, Poetry Readings and Patrons Dancing for "MOSAIC-INTERNATIONAL BISTRO + SOCIAL" at 787-789 N JEFFERSON St. The applicant said that she has been in the bar industry 9 years and that she wants to have a place for non-travelers to explore the world with different dishes and international sports will be big. She explained that the main focus will be the downstairs bar, which will open at 11 for lunch. She added that it is a two-level building with diverse music and more emphasis on social rather than dancing. Individuals in objection: James Taylor –Taylor’s Bar -795 N Jefferson – he said that he owns a total of 5 restaurants and thinks that the concept won’t work and that the kitchen is too small to carry out the plan that the applicant presented. He added that he thinks that stakeholders were not told the truth. Ald. Pratt asked Mr. Taylor if he looks deep into every application made on that street. Mr. Taylor said that he does because he wants businesses to succeed. Atty. Ovbiagele asked Mr. Taylor if he believes that people should have equal opportunity to try and fail. Mr. Taylor agreed. Atty. Ovbiagele asked Mr. Taylor if he tried to buy the building. Mr. Taylor answered “yes”. Ald. Bauman said there was a meeting held last Friday where the applicant presented her plan and that the concern relies on what kind of business exactly it will be. He added that the application itself says 75% alcohol and 25% food which it is clearly a bar with a food menu which is also fine, but that there is a sense of misrepresentation because it was presented like a restaurant when the application states otherwise. Ald. Bauman said that there is a legitimate reason for viability because if a new establishment is underfunded can contribute to disorder and other issues. He also said that the applicant explained that her investment is going to be $200-250K which is not too much when she is looking into expanding the kitchen facilities. He added that we will take these representations to a face value and requested that the business plan be made part of the record. Atty. Ovbiagele said that he has no objections to make it part of the record. Ald. Bauman said that the applicant sold her business to the community with that business plan and that it should be part of the record. Atty. Ovbiagele said that he does not like that rules keep changing and people being looked differently at this table. Ald. Zamarripa said that business plans have been admitted as a part of the record at this committee before. Ald. Burgelis said that he thinks that plan of operation is a biding legal agreement between the applicant and the City while the business plan are just words. Ald. Brower asked Ald. Bauman if there is anything different from what was discussed at the meeting with the business plan. Ald. Bauman said that is just semantics and that he has no objections. Ald. Burgelis moved approval. There were no objections. (Prevailed 5-0)

Minutes note: 05 WALKER, Rose-Marie, Agent for "LITTLE CAESAR ENTERPRISES, INC.", Food Dealer License Renewal Application for "LITTLE CAESARS #314" at 9230 W CAPITOL DR. (Expired 7/11/2025) Ald. Pratt moved to hold the application to the call of the chair. There were no objections. The application was reconsidered at 5:34 pm. The applicant was present virtually along with Atty. Richard Donner, Tracy Jacobs (Corporate) and Mark Bermudez (Supervisor). Atty. Donner said, regarding the items on the police report, that the first item was about a customer who wanted more pepperoni and forced his way back in when the employee tried to lock the door. He added that a fight started and other employees came out to break it up. He continued that the customer received a citation and the company let go of seven of the employees, including the crew leader, for violating corporate rules after reviewing the surveillance video. As for the second item, he said that a fight started between two customers but they were gone when the police arrived. Individuals also present: Ald. Westmoreland said that the main reason for being here is the litter and upkeep of the premises and asked the people present for title, roll and how often they are at this location. Mr. Bermudez said that he lives in Racine, that he is the area supervisor and visits the store 2 3 times per week at different hours depending on the assigned schedule. Daranay Batista was sworn in and said that she lives in Kenosha, that she is the Market Director, and she visits the store 2 3 times per week at different hours depending on the assigned schedule. Ms. Walker said that she is at the store once/yr because she has other four markets. Tracy Jacobs said that she would normally visit the store 3-7 times/yr but not lately due an illness. Ald. Westmoreland asked Atty. Donner if he has been at the store. Atty. Donner said that he started visiting when he started to discuss this location with the Alder in 2023 but he has not visited this year. There were no neighbors present to testify. Ald. Westmoreland said that this license expired back in July and that it has been operating without one for three months and that we received the renewal application only after the business was order to cease operations by MHD. He added that this business continues to be the topic of discussion at district wide events and town hall meetings because of the litter, the retaining wall on 93rd St that breaks and falls down multiple times per year, which even made a disabled constituent unable to use the sidewalk due to gravel and rocks on the ground. He also said that he was willing to work with the business granting the provisional license but that this business is not cooperating with him and that they do not want to meet him in the middle. He explained that there is a company policy that they do not allow employees to go out of the building to pick up garbage at closing time and that the garbage accumulates for 13 hours which is then blown into the neighborhood and that is the main concern for him. He explained that maybe it is time for a third party to come into the picture because he is at the point of recommending nonrenewal due to the constant garbage issue and the company is not helping the district to keep it clean. Atty. Donner said that they did not file the renewal on time due to an error on their end, that it was wrong, it was not the intention, and that the other stores are renewed until 2026. He added that they have been closed for 3 weeks now and that the cleanups were discussed in 2023 and the store was renewed without issues in 2024. He said that they found out that Ald. Westmoreland objected to the provisional license by Mr. Cooney when this is a long standing business in the area and in the city. He mentioned that it is an employee safety issue to pick up garbage at 10pm, that he understands that the garbage accumulates but it is cleaned up in the morning. He added that the trash shown in Ald. Westmoreland’s photos is not the company’s garbage and that there is an email communication recognizing that the store has improved. He said that there must be a balance between safety and cleanness. Ms. Walker said that she has placed a tracking mechanism to stay on top of the renewals 3 months before the expiration date. Ald. Westmoreland said the garbage comes from patrons of this business because the business next door operates with no garbage in the parking lot. He added that he grew up in the district and that the people speaking on behalf of the business are new to the company and cannot tell him what he has seen throughout the years. He added that he recommends nonrenewal because the company’s policies are not willing to work with him and his district. Atty. Donner said that they have been cleaning the parking lot with the store closed for three weeks and that there are 25 employees that have been out of work with the store closed. Ald. Burgelis recommended progressive discipline and moved for a 32-day suspension held in abeyance based upon the preponderance of the evidence in the aldermanic testimony that demonstrates the operation results in excessive littering. There were no objections. (Prevailed 4-0)

He added that she runs her business the best way she can and that the homicide is not linked to her business, that they did everything what they should have done as the police report shows and that they do not know what else to do with the challenges present in the area. Individuals also present: Ald. Pratt said that this application was scheduled due the homicide and the following week’s incident where an officer was involved in a shooting there as well.
