(Expires 3/1/2022) The applicant was present. Atty. Michael Maistelman said that the police report shows that his client has cooperated with the investigations and that it is an epidemic of gun problems in the city and that he has submitted an amended plan of operations to the license division and that he wanted to make sure that it is on file. Mr. Cooney said that it is on file. Atty. Michael Maistelman talked about the submitted plan of operations (attached to the record) and that he will take any questions from the committee regarding the plan. Individuals also present: Ald. Perez said that he wanted to hear an historical context because he believes that the same things were said at last year's hearing and that it does not seem to be reflected on the current file yet so he wants to know what is the difference between last and this year. Atty. Maistelman said that they brought the security guards in, and that they have done a much better job and that there has been a significant change from last year. Added that by looking at the police report, there is a security guard involved in every incident and that actually one of them was shot while walking outside and trying to address situations like these. Said that it has not been any problems with people coming in with weapons since they implemented the plan. Ald. Perez said that a homicide happened inside the premises on the last cycle and another homicide happened outside this year and that Atty. Maistelman talks about things have changed but he does not see how things are different from last year. Atty. Maistelman said that there is an epidemic of gun violence in the city and that is not easy to take the guns off the streets but that the security guards are addressing the problem the best they can and that we are up against of a mayor tidal wave of violence. Individuals in opposition: Lori Banks - resident of the neighborhood around the bar - said that she has written multiple letters because this establishment must be closed because it was what they were told at the meeting held last July and that we are here like last year (February 2021) discussing the same issues. Added that there have been two murders, multiple shootings, constant break-ins to her home and neighbors, to cars and that, she is aware of some strategies that might work but they don't trust this business anymore and that they live in fear. Theresa Scott - 4535 W Leon Tr - asked that the license not to be renewed because the shootings on the police report actually happened on her block and that Mr. Jones never took the phone calls of the neighbors until today that was the hearing date which shows that he is not interested in the neighborhood. She said that it is true that the violence is happening in the entire city but that she is here because of the violence that is happening right at her door and that there is no trust on this bar anymore and that it shouldn't take the police to come to check on the noise complaints from the residents. Added that the meeting with the police and the applicant was held on July 30, 2021 and that none of the neighbors has heard from the applicant or his attorney since then. Timothy Scott - 4535 W Leon Tr - said that he is disturbed about the comments made by the applicant's attorney because the neighbors are the ones dealing with the shootings, garbage, empty bottles, noises and disturbances coming from the bar and with the patrons using the alley. Mabel Lamb - Sherman Park Community Association - said that they have received numerous complaints about houses being broken-in, guns stolen out of vehicles, noise, garbage and that this establishment has been creating a situation that neighbors are planning on to move out and that as a community association will support the quality of life of the residents. Added that the area is over saturated with alcohol licenses, and that it is hurting the neighborhood and that the association is not in support. Mr. Prince Harris - 4541 W Leon Tr - said that he does not want the license to be renewed and that since July that they held the meeting with the police, he has observed that the clientele is 21-29 years old and not older than 30 years old like it used to be when Mr. Jones (the previous owner) held the license. He added that he is not happy about having virtual hearings because not everyone can do it or connect to the meeting and about the radius used for the notices. Said that a building as big as Mr. Jays the neighbors from 3- 4 blocks radius should be informed. Carla Harris - 4541 W Leon Tr - said that she agrees with what her neighbors have said and that the neighborhood does not benefit at all from this business and asked for the license not to be renewed. Individuals in support: Phelon Thadison - 11010 W Heritage Dr - said that he understands the neighbors' position but from his professional point of view as a retired police officer and as a patron; the problems are not directly related to the establishment itself and that this is an epidemic that it is beyond the scope of the business that is trying to provide jobs and that he has observed that this business have 30+ years old crowds and that they do everything to deescalate situations and that whatever happens outside Mr. J's happens in the city of Milwaukee not at the bar and that we cannot close businesses for that. Ald. Borkowski said that he has not a question for the retired police officer and also thanked him for his service but explained him that they are here not to destroy businesses but to represent the neighbors and that these are not minor things, that there were 10 incidents on the police report and that it is disappointing to hear his testimony because he does not know the history of this license and the severity of the issues. Atty. Andrew Arena said that he represents the owner of the building and that he organized the meeting on July 30th including Ald. Rainey and neighbors. Ald. Rainey clarified that meeting that Atty. Arena is talking about was for a liquor store application and that the one that the neighbors are talking about was organized by the police. Atty. Arena said that the meeting that he organized was about a grocery/liquor store in the same building and that the neighbors did not want it because of the saturation. He added that Mr. J's was at the meeting as well and that they were made aware of the issues with the business at the meeting so he talked to Mr. Jones because it seemed that the problem was that Mr. Jones increased the size of Mr. J's by taking the half on the back of the building and having entertainment geared toward younger people. He explained that they even talked about cutting it in half to have a separate lounge for older people and this is what he thought the applicant was doing today. He stated that it is what they agreed on and that he's just finding out that it's not as such and that what the applicant wants to do seems not to be a good fit according to the neighbors. Atty. Arena added that he, representing the owners of the building can do things with the lease like punishing or even evicting if the problems are not corrected and suggested to the applicant to get a handle and that he is available to answer any questions. Michael Chisholm - 3637 N 49th St - said that he is a customer and that he has noticed the changes that have done in the community and for the community like scholarships and that they clean around the premises. Individuals also present: Ald. Rainey said that he does not support the renewal based on the neighborhood testimony. Mr. Jones said that he filed a renewal application and that no one has addressed a problem with him involving the club and that he does not relate to any of these complaints and that he has reduced the capacity from 350 to 99. Atty. Maistelman said that one person killed is too many but that we see the violence happening everywhere we go and that the measures that they have taken will help with the gun violence and with the loitering and noise complaints and that he respectfully requests a small suspension to resolve and address other issues. Ald. Perez moved denial based upon police report, neighborhood and aldermanic testimony. (Prevailed 5-0)
