Zak Wroblewski appeared on behalf of the applicant along with Melissa Nelson-Bohan.(Multi-Unit Manager). Atty. Wrobleski said that half of the items on the police report are indirectly related to the business or welfare checks but that no business wants to see a lengthy report like this one. He also said that his client is taking it seriously, that they have been in communication with Ald. Spiker and that they have addressed the security concerns. He added that they have a new manager since July of 2023, that they have seen more stable results since then, that they have hired a new security company (Wisconsin Public Safety Agency) because the previous one was unreliable.

Spiker said that the committee cannot see yet the results of having the new security plan in place because of the cut off date. He also asked what happened on item 13 and why the staff did not cooperate with the police even if the incident did not happen at the establishment. Atty. Wrobleswki said that it was the previous manager. Ald. Spiker asked to Ms. Nelson if this incident came to her attention prior letting the manager go.

Spiker asked what are they going to do to avoid fights over food with guns involved, in a non-alcohol environment and with an armed security guard on site. Atty. Wrobleski said that it is not an alcohol establishment but that at 4am they don’t know if patrons are coming from a bar or something like that. He also said that he believes that this incident happened when the security guard was not there and that having the armed security guard Thu-Sat, from 10pm to 6am will prevent those situations. Ms. Nelson said that there was no security guard. Ald. Spiker asked for some more information about the new security company. Ms. Nelson said that the security company is larger, licensed and bonded with backups available. No neighbors were present to testify. Ald. Spiker moved to include the e-mailed plan of operations into the record. There were no objections. Ald.
