Recess at 12:25 pm Reconvened at 12:40 pm Individuals in opposition: Atty. Halbrooks said that item 9 on the police report is important to this matter and described what we are about to see in the video that was submitted to the license division and which is the reason why, they don’t want Mr. Ohlsson to hold an alcohol license in the city of Milwaukee. Atty. Obviagele objected to what Atty. Halbrooks said because he is making legal accusations and objected to the video because it violates his client procedure and did not come with the notice. Ald. Hamilton said that he would like to see the video but wanted to check if there is a chance of going to a closed session. Atty. McNally said that the closed session was not included on the agenda. Ald. Hamilton and Ald. Borkowski moved to see the video. The video was played. Atty. Obviagele said that he would object to parts of this video. Atty. Obviagele asked Atty.

Hallbrooks said that he did represent the previous license holder. Atty. Obviagele asked if he selected the parts of the video that were shown today. Atty. Halbrooks said that he did select the parts of the video. Individuals in opposition: Michael D'amato - Director Business Improvement District #13 - read the letter that was submitted and attached to the file. Added that Mr. Ohlsson has failed his responsibilities with the license as it is stated on the police report. Also asked the committee to please take a look to the testimonies within the proximity to the business and how lives have changed with this establishment because it is not a popularity contest to see which side brings more people. Jerry Broderick – 1800 E Newberry St - 45 year resident next to Miramar – read two emails submitted to the license division and said that he is very disappointed about this establishment and wondered why the committee granted another license for this agent based on the Miramar’s history. Added that their lives have been affected. Patricia Broderick - 1800 E Newberry Blvd. – said that she is here to represent her granddaughters who live next door and that their bedroom window is right on the street where the shots were fired and, that she is concerned about her family and people’s safety on the street. Ms. Broderick added that tow trucks are too loud to rest at night and that there is a lot of commotion because people is going in and out of the establishment. Mr. Wolzack - 2767 E Newberry St – said that he is the president of the neighborhood association and that businesses and neighbors have been hurt by Miramar and, that they object to the renewal and that to see police cars lined up in front on the Miramar is not a good thing for the neighborhood. He also acknowledged that Mr. Ohlsson reached out to him to talk to the board but that the meeting won’t happen until after this hearing. Mr. Kovac – talking as a private citizen said that the video what we saw today do not match with what Mr. Ohlsson explained to him when the incident on item 9 happened. He added that there were issues with the previous owner and that since Mr. Ohlsson took over, some things improved but there is a strong indication that the shootings that happened on February, are related to the Miramar and its popular R&B Tuesday’s nights. Mr. Kovac said that there is no indication that the incidents happened inside the establishment and that District 1 says that Mr. Ohlsson’s plan is working and, that neighbors are objecting because they have the right to be concerned. Mr. Kovac said that he appreciates that they are working with the police. Individuals in support: Atty. Obviagele cross-examinated Atty. Nolan – who said that she is a criminal attorney and that her client has waived some rights. Added that on December 12th, 2021, his client was originally detained for obstructing a police officer and that he was released later. Atty. Obviagele asked if the video was modified (zoomed in). Atty. Nolan said that the video was modified in the sense of being zoomed in and that his client was not charged and released later. Armando Saafir – 2346 Pasadena Blvd. – DJ in Milwaukee said that Mr. Ohlsson is an independent business owner and that he takes any challenge in order to have culture at the Miramar and the owner puts them in the position to chase their own dreams as well. Cameron Mond – 2519 N Bartlett Av Michael Thomas – 1340 E Brady St - said that he knows Mr. Ohlsson for about 15 years and that he has updated his building a ton and, that he keeps the patrons and neighbors safe even if the opposition don’t think so. The meeting paused at 2:21 pm Reconvened at 2:34 pm Dustin Fleuter – 1815 E Newbeerry Blvd. #5 – said that he moved to the neighborhood because of Miramar and that he feels safe going at home at night. He added that Miramar is important to him and to many people because he has found a family there. Lisa Battiw - 1407 N MLK Dr #203 – said that she has worked there for 7 years and that they are a not a nightclub but a venue. Lisa Cook – 145 S 92nd St Devin Hall – 700 S 55th St, Kenosha, WI 53144 Sean Kaump – 214 E Wright St Adrian Hund – 1121 N Waverly Pl Kelly Schmitz – 3555S Rivershire Dr Katie Veley – 518 W Vine Upper Brian Ward – 622 N Broadway McKena Applin – 135 W Wells St #612 Tyler Burgess – 1117 N Wells St Carly Spotts – 1757 S 58th St Kate Schmitz – 1652 E Newton Av Alex Martinelli – 1690 Franklin Pl There were about 90 persons who were virtually present in support. They were asked to leave their names and addresses on the chat in agreement with the applicant and his attorney. The applicant apologized to the neighbors who testified today because he thought that nothing was happening and that the parking signs was not his decision. He added that he requested the police presence and that the issue has been curved. He said that he hasn't have a police report in 10 years and that his biggest regret is not knowing what was happening with the community and that the issues will be fixed. Mr. Ohlsson asked the neighbors for another chance or to start the relationship over because he wants the Miramar to be a good model. Atty. Obviagele said that he heard the neighbors and that it is their true and that he also wants neighbors to think that this is a national problem that is not going to be solved with shooting down places and, that we cannot let gun violence to win over business, churches and schools because the problem goes beyond anyone in this room and asked the committee to renew the licenses. Ald. Spiker asked Mr. Ohlsson to share his telephone number with his neighbors so he becomes the first contact and recommended to have a better communication with his neighbors. Ald Spiker moved renewal with a warning letter based on the police report and neighborhood testimony. Ald. Hamilton said that he agrees with Ald. Spiker but that the Miramar still needs to fit in the nature of the neighborhood and to be sensitive to that. He added that efforts can be made to achieve that and suggested not to expand the license while the applicant addresses current issues. Ald. Hamilton moved to hold the patrons dancing application. There were no objections. Ald. Spiker moved renewal as amended with a warning letter based on the police report and neighborhood testimony. There were no objections. (Prevailed 3-0)	Pass	3:0
