Minutes note: 05 LAKRITZ, Glenn H, Agent for "Neighborhood Pawn LLC", Pawnbroker's License Application for "Neighborhood Pawn & Resale" at 5424-26 N Lovers Lane Rd. Atty. Brian Randall appearing with the applicant. The applicant has agreed not to do any transactions with guns or involving out of state IDs. The applicant has met with community liaison officers and attended one neighborhood meeting. He states that if a stolen item were to be taken in by a licensee, the licensee would be the entity assuming the loss, so it is not in his interest to accept stolen items.

Six additional individuals were at the previous meeting raising concerns about the application. He states he believes crime will increase if the business is opened. Neighbors at community meetings in the area have primarily voted in opposition to the business. Individuals appearing in opposition: Larry Gonzales 10517 W Rohr Ave - He is a member of the local block watch and neighborhood association. He states that crime is already an issue in the neighborhood. There was a recent robbery one half to three quarters of a mile away from the establishment. He has witnessed panhandlers in Timmerman Plaza nearby. Lena Chaudhry - 5253 N Lovers Lane Rd - She states that she lives about half a block away from the proposed establishment. She states crime is already an issue in the area and a business that increases the number of people carrying cash would increase the problems. She has been accosted in Timmerman Plaza.

Minutes note: 04 KUNTZ, Joseph M, Agent for "The Chalk House MKE LLC", Class B Tavern and Public Entertainment Premises License Renewal Applications for "The Loaded Slate MKE" at 1137 N Old World Third St. (Expires 9/3/2014) Appearing with the applicant: Atty. Michael J Whitcomb - Underage individuals used fake IDs which were not detected by the establishment's scanner to gain access to the establishment. The applicants contacted him immediately following the September 2013 underage incident to determine a way to improve their operations. They then met with the police to discuss how to prevent underage individuals from entering the establishment. The police department will keep the applicant updated with a book showing the new types of fake IDs that are circulating. They've purchased a scanner that captures information to verify which IDs have been checked. On May 3, 2014, a waitress who served an underage individual was filling in behind the bar and didn't realize that IDs had not been checked at the door during the transition from food to bar service. She has since been trained properly. The bartender who poured alcohol into a patron's mouth has been reprimanded. The applicant and Mr. Mellon will give the objector their cell phone numbers in case noise is an issue in the future. The applicant has spoken with management of the neighboring residential building to be proactive about complaints. He states the business is an active member of the community. Noise may be coming from other establishments in the area as well. Shawn Mellon - 1710 N Commerce - The security guard was told not to engage with the person with a hammer on July 28, 2013, as security personnel are to avoid individuals with weapons. Ald Bauman present at the table. He is concerned with the pattern of issues with noise and underage incidents on the police report. There is a consistent pattern of poor management. He states the noise emanating from the establishment has a strong negative impact on the growth of the neighborhood. Individuals should be able to move downtown without having to hear noise in their homes. Individual appearing in Jacklyn Bercheck - 1141 N Old World Third St - She states the business is disrespectful of neighbors when it comes to noise issues. She has moved from the 9th floor to the 27th floor in her building in attempt to avoid the noise. She has heard music noise between the hours of 12 am and 2 am. She attributes noise to this specific establishment because she contacted the police and the noise was turned down after they investigated the report. She has attempted to contact the establishment via telephone to discuss issues and could not reach anyone. She was aware of neighboring businesses when she moved to the building, but did not anticipate being able to hear music from the establishment. She states she hears noise through her walls every weekend. Now that she has moved, the noise is muffled. Ald. Stamper moved approval with a 30 day suspension based on the police report and neighborhood testimony. (Prevailed 3-1-1, Ald. Puente voted no, Ald. Coggs abstained)
