Christopher M Hayden appeared with the applicant and regarding the items on the police report said that: First: It has been resolved with the City of Milwaukee. Second: 6/09/21 it was the perfect storm coming from a big construction in front of the business and that his client is making sure that cars are not stopping and that has directed the security guard to monitor outside. Third: the 6/16/21 item showed that there was no evidence of a gun shot inside the establishment and the non-cooperative manager has been reprimanded and that this business has a long story of cooperating with law enforcement. Fourth: On 10/0521 and it was a road rage situation that was not related to the business and hit a woman eating at the patio. Individuals also present: Ald. Perez said that on 6/09 item the police report says that there were patrons walking in the traffic, vehicles with loud music, motorcycles on the sidewalk and that security told the police that there were few people with fire arms outside the tavern so he asked if the manager or applicant filed a police report. Atty. Hayden said that they did not make a phone call to the police.

The applicant said that they offer food until one in the morning and that it is a lounge with no dancing floor and that safety measures are in place because of Covid and that is using promoters on Fridays and Sundays and looking forward to have a live band on Wednesdays. Ald. Perez said that even if the shots fired on 6/16 were not connected to the establishment, the police talked to a security guard and to a non-cooperative manager so he asked the applicant if the police was able to retrieve the surveillance video from them? Added that he wanted to get it on the record that seems that this place is not well managed (crowd control, shots fired, non-cooperative manager) and that he has not heard in detail what is he doing about all these issues except for the three security guards and asked him of the security goes further beyond his property. The applicant said that they go to the parking lot on the east of his property. Ald. Perez asked him if the valet services and his staff use the alley and parking lot of Lady Guadalupe? The applicant said that he used to and Ald. Perez asked him if he has received the letter from Lady of Guadalupe asking him not to do that. The applicant admitted that he received the letter. Sgt. Velasquez said that the video from the 6/16 incident was not available to the police because there was an issue with the applicant's laptop. Atty. Hayden made questions to the applicant to review the safety in plan in place. The applicant responded that there are four security guards working on regular basis, that they follow the id standards, that they use metal detectors, and that there are a male and a female at the door to check patrons. Atty. Hayden added that his client is a lifelong member of this community with other businesses on the area and that he is committed to the neighbors and their safety with safety measures in place to avoid issues and asked for renewal with a warning letter. Ald. Kovac said that the non-cooperative manager and not being proactive concerns him a lot so he moved renewal with a 10 day suspension based on the police report. (Prevailed 4-0)

Vincent Bobbot appeared with the applicant. Atty. Bobbot said that regarding the incident from 3/17/21 there was no gun involved and that there was a fight that was broke by the security and that the owner decided to close after patrons were done eating and that for the incident on 8/11/21 said that the subject was arrested and that the business called the police.

Also said that on 11/11/21 there was a meeting with the police and the business owners and staff and that many of the suggestions that were made are now in place like security cameras outside to work along with MPD. Individuals also present: The individual present to testify on the item from 10/04/21 said that he wanted to dispute the report because when watching the video from the outside cameras is different from the police's version which is one girl inside the establishment and that the person shooting is coming from Brady St. Ald. Kovac made a reference about the 10/04/21 incident that the exterior cameras were not working. The individual present said that this video belongs to a neighbor and shows the individuals coming from Brady St. and that the shooter was not inside the bar, only the girl. Ald. Kovac said that the more extensive report says that "The shooter and the vehicle were lingering outside Mango's Bar" which it does not make a difference to the neighbors he said. Atty. Bobbot said that the difference is that the shooter was not inside the tavern. Individuals in opposition: Elizabeth Jerow - 1627 N Van Buren St - said that she bought her house 2 years ago with the intention to stay forever but she is not happy with the bar patrons making noise, leaving trash, broken bottles and urinating everywhere. Added that safety is her main topic because she has seen people hanging around their cars and blasting music for 30 minutes before going into the bar. Said that they also argue after leaving the bar, they fight or hit cars or pass out in the cars leaving the engines on for 8 hours. She offered some statistics that she found herself regarding the criminal activity near/around Mango's specifically. She reached out to the owner in three different times and she did not hear from him until the third one. She added that there was one disagreement that started on Mango's and escalated at her own lawn and moved to the neighbor's (with a broken fence as a result) and that she has video footage. Jennifer Chier - 1680 N Jackson St - said that she has lived in the same neighborhood for so many years and that also has seen bars come and go in the same location on Mango's and that she has never seen something like with Mango's before. She does not understand why this particular business is having issues that no other businesses are experiencing in the neighborhood. Added that she is also concerned about the property value because the neighborhhod is getting sketchy. Michael Wojner - 1672 N Van Buren St - said that at 12:30 am this Saturday and about 5 feet away from his window he listened some guys arguing whether or not to take a guy outside and that one of them said that he had no guns on him but that he wanted to beat the guy up. Added that he has lived 13 years in the neighborhood and that he has never seen that much stupidity coming out from the same business. Added that he is afraid now to walk at night. Kent Heberling - 1627 N Van Buren St - said that he lives in the same household as Ms. Jerow and said that he cannot think of people running to hide behind walls and cars unless there is a visible gun. He also mentioned that another car was shooting three times in front of Mango's and that his video footage does not reach out until Mango's but he time stamped the video that matches with the item on the police report. Kevin Mature - 1671 N Van Buren St - said that he has lived there for 3 years and that they have patrons from Mango's leaving empty bottles and cans on their lawns and sidewalks and that he has video footage. Added that speeding is another factor and even doing donuts on Van Buren St. Said that many fights that breaks out even driving or walking and that Mango's is becoming a problem for every neighbor in the area and that something has to be done. Raymond Sims - 1631 N Van Buren St - said that everyone on the block is very concerned. He also has camera and a video of four guys standing on his own lawn with a gun, jumping to next lawn, breaking the fence and then coming back to his lawn and used it as an exit. Added that the police saw that footage and that they are tired and that they want to see this business go. Individuals also present: Ald. Kovac asked the applicant about the incident about this past Saturday. The applicant said that two people were having an argument and they were let go and that they showed up again but they were escorted to their cars and that no citations were given. Ald. Kovac said that he understands that the applicant does not want to be blamed for everything what happens in the neighborhood but there is a lot of evidence of problems coming directly from his bar and asked the applicant to explain about his plan. The applicant said that no gun was present when the police arrived and proposed to meet once at month to put up a plan together and noted that they are located at a very busy intersection where traffic is heavy and that he has also noticed the changes on the behavior on the last year. Ald. Kovac asked the applicant to talk about the new management. The applicant said that he has new management and new staff and that communication is the key to have everything resolved. Atty. Bobbot said that they have put together a comprehensive plan with outside surveillance cameras to monitor the activity around the premises and that people leaving the bar and then returning, won't be serviced by the bar. Also said that Mango's will call the police when something is wrong and that his client will work on resolve those issues with the neighbors. Ald. Kovac said that there has been a lot of changes within the last year and that the neighborhood testimony has been helpful which is also supported by the videos. Added that It is clear that there is an issue with the bar, people leaving the bar and going to their cars and then returning to the bar and crowds gathering outside. Said that the reckless driving is not directly related to the bar except for one incident mentioned by one neighbor. Also acknowledged the improvement but said that the security must be aware of everything what happens outside. Ald. Kovac said that there is considerable evidence and neighborhood testimony and that the business have been running for 8 years so he moved renewal with a 30 day suspension based on the police report and neighborhood testimony.

The place behind her house was shut down because of human trafficking at the end because herself and her neighbors kept on reporting it. Atty. Chiarelli asked Ms. Rockow if she has called the police. Ms. Rockow said that she has called the alderman. Atty. Chiarelli said that the alderman called the police to investigate this matter and that the police has come to the spa and have found nothing about human trafficking or violations. Ms. Rockow said that she has a great suspicion of human trafficking. Atty. Chiarelli said that she has a great suspicion but no evidence and that his client and himself know that human trafficking is a global issue but that this is not the case. Individuals also present: Ald. Borkowski said that he remembers when the couple came to his office to explain their business plan and he gave them a chance. Added that couple of months later, the issue with social media was evident so he sent the police to investigate. Ald. Borkowski showed what was posted on social media and said that the materials are very suggestive and that the impression that people get when looking at the photos is that you are able to pick to get a massage from any of those ladies, which is very misleading. Atty. Chiarelli said that the social media has been taken down as a result of the conversation he had with Ald. Borkowski yesterday. Ald. Borkowski said that himself has checked the place a different days and times and that he has not seen people in crutches for example but only white men between 25 and 40 years of age visiting the business. Said that the pictures from facebook and what MPD uses to identify human trafficking showed that there are no matches. He said that he struggles because he does not want to assume anything but he wants a legal business succeed but that this matter is getting the attention that it needed today Ald. Dodd said that she has listened the testimonies of the neighbor and alderman and that herself has checked the facebook page which it was said that it was taken down but it is not and it is advertising young woman indeed so she moved for denial. Ald. Coggs asked if the majority of the clientele are men. The applicant said that mostly men. Ald. Coggs asked if the people giving the massages are women or men. The applicant said that only women. The applicant said that those two cars belong to the computer store and that he will take full responsibility of anything illegal done at this store. Added that he invites everyone in the community and the police to come to his store to see that nothing illegal is happening. Said that it is a business struggling because of Covid and that they need to work in order to survive and that if he has done something illegal, the evidence must be provided. Ald. Dodd moved non-renewal based on police report, neighbor and aldermanic testimony. (Prevailed 4-0).

Minutes note: 07 AHMAD, Omar, Agent for "3057, LLC", Food Dealer License Application for "JJ Fish & Chicken" at 3057 N 35th St. The applicant was present along with Atty. Vincent Bobbot. Individuals in opposition: Cecilia Brown - 3056 N 36th St - said that the neighborhood was not informed about what was going on with the location and the neighborhood did not know it was going to be a JJ Fish & Chicken. Said that they have a KFC, a pastry shop and Checkers and that she does not want another business behind her house because it is enough with the garbage coming from those and that she does not want customers around until at 2 am. Said that she has lived there for 30 years and no JJ Fish & Chicken should be back to back to any home and that they already have parking issues on the alley with them and pointed out that that they have hosted parties without a license and that she does not want to deal with issues like that and neither to smell the grassy chicken and fish which is a big change for her. Ald. Coggs asked what type of business it was when she bought her house. The applicant said that it was a church when she bought the house almost 30 years ago. Mabel Lamb - Executive Director of Sherman Park Community Association - 3526 W Fond Du Lac Av - said that she is opposing and that the neighbors were not informed about the plans for this business and that there are three JJ Fish locations within a mile and half of this location. Added that the community needs healthy food options instead and that the existing businesses are closing at 9 pm while JJ Fish & Chicken open until late hours. Individuals also present: Ald.

Added that he has been pushing up for healthy food options in his district and the city because Wisconsin has the most obese African-American community in the country and that he would like to hear from the Health Department instead of Boza.

Minutes note: 07 Edwards, Sherine G, Agent for "UPPA YARD LLC", Class B Tavern License Renewal Application with Change of Agent and Permanent Extension of Premises Alcohol Application Adding 4937 W Fond Du Lac Av to the Premises for "Uppa Yard" at 4947 W FOND DU LAC Av. (Expired 11/16/2021) Ald. Coggs recalled having this application to be held. Mr. Cooney said that on September of 2019, the License Division received a Class B Tavern application for the addresses 4943 and 4947 W Fond Du Lac Av and that the application was recommended for approval on November of 2019 and that on January of 2020 an amendment was received to change the premises description by removing the 4943 from the floor plan. Added that same day, the License Division received a Class B Tavern for Concoctions and that on February of 2020 the revised floor plan for Uppa Yard was approved and that on February 19, 2020 the application for Concoctions was heard by the committee but held in opposition for a second liquor license. Also said that the application for Concoctions was withdrawn in March of 2020 and that on November of 2020, the license for Uppa Yard was issued and that in August of 2021 the license division received the renewal application listing Ms. Nembhardt as the agent and that in September of 2021 the Department of Revenue visited the Concoctions premises and advised the business not to serve alcohol because of the lack of license. Added that on October of 2021, Ms. Nembhardt resigned as agent of Uppa Yard and that on November of 2020, Ms. Edwards was appointed as the agent and that we heard this matter on the renewal hearing back in November of 2021 and that later was filed the extension on premises application by adding the portion that was removed on 2020. Atty. Dekosky said that the confusion for his client lays on that he originally applied for the alcohol license for both premises addresses and since the application for Concoctions was withdrawn, his client thought that no changes took effect. Individuals in opposition: Lee Beans - 3237 W Sherman Blvd. - said that he owns the building next door which it has been a church for the last 30 years and that he met with Mr. Oliver after the meeting (when the license was granted) and that Mr. Edwards said that he was going to be serving food but later found out that Ms. Hyacinth Nembhardt applied for a liquor license because she advertised in the social media and that she was selling alcohol without a license which himself reported it to Georgeann King. Added that this business has used his church parking lot and that he was threaten after he asked them not to use his parking lot so he proceeded to sue Mr. Oliver and Ms. Nembhardt. Also said that he is constantly picking up empty bottles of alcohol and that this operation is jeopardizing his availability to rent his property as the church that it has been for 30 years. Individuals also present: Ald. Coggs asked Mr. Cooney if the ordinance of alcohol establishment near a church applies to this file. Mr. Cooney said that the plan of operations says that 80% of the sales are food and the ordinance has an exception when the sales of alcohol are not more than 50% of the sales. Ald. Rainey said that Concoctions business model was drinks to go and that if there are going to be any issues with alcohol bottles outside. Ms. Edwards said that they won't sell alcoholic beverages to go and that they won't have issues with empty alcohol bottles on the ground. Ald. Rainey asked for a clarification of the amendment to Mr. Cooney. Mr. Cooney said that Uppa Yard agent (Ms. Nembhardt) filed an amendment to the floor plan by removing the 4943 address and that she applied for another alcohol license for Concoctious (with herself as the agent) and that even if the application was withdrawn later, the agent never filed another application to add back the 4943 address. Atty. Dekosky said that it was misunderstanding from their standing point of view because Uppa Yard thought that they were operating legally on the entire premises as they did initially and that it was never his client intention to separate the premises because it is an open area and that when Uppa Yard was advised of not having the license for the entire place, his client filed the extension of premises application immediately. Ald. Rainey said that he has listened very careful and that he is very respectful of Mr. Beans and his investment but he has not heard anything that deserves an action against this business. Atty. Dekosky said that Uppa Yard has been operating for 9 years now and that has grown and invested by renovating the next door building and that overall is an asset to the community with a reasonable business hours so he asked to approve the license. Ald. Kovac moved approval. (Prevailed 4-0)

Individuals in opposition: Celina Echeveste - 2252 S 31st St - said that she has lived there for 30 years and that she supports Latino and Hispanic businesses but not when jeopardizes the safety of the neighbors.

Carla Echeveste - 2252 S 31st St - has lived in the area for 28 years and is asking to reconsider not to renew the license because this business has become a problem for her community. Individuals also present: Ald. Coggs asked the committee if they wanted to see the videos provided by Ms. Echeveste. The members agreed. Atty. Bobbot objected to the videos taken on 2018 and 2019 because they are not part of the last licensing year.
