The applicant said that the incidents happened with an employee they hired when his wife had medical problems.
Ald. Burgelis asked the applicant why he locked the door on the people inside the store (item 8).
The applicant said that the people were making a mess and stealing, that he asked them to take everything they wanted and leave without hurting others and that then, he unlocked the door.
Ald. Burgelis asked what happened to the employee who sold alcohol to a minor (item 9).
The applicant said that he was fired.
Ald. Burgelis asked why he had the gambling machines without a license (item 10).

The applicant said that they moved the machines to the back and that they are unplugged.

The applicant said that they always provide passwords to MPD.
Individuals in opposition:
Greg St. Arnold – 2654 N Palmer St – said that he wrote a long letter that was added to the file, that he regularly witnesses other safety issues besides the ones in the police report like instances of drug trafficking, use of drugs, loitering and that he does not know if the business is involved with the Crime and Safety meetings. He added that he is surprised that the applicant states that 70% of sales comes from food, when the food items are not marked and that the deli is not in use. He also said that the gambling machines were in use last October and that there is an employee who smokes regularly inside the store.
Brian Egger – 2749 N Holton St said that he agrees with the previous testimony and that he has reported drug trafficking, drug use, and guns left in the south part of his alley which is right outside of this business and that it happens all day, every day. He added that there is public drinking and loitering outside the store and the business does nothing about it, that it is bad business and not community oriented. He also said that he has photos of the gambling machines.
Ald. Brower said that his district borders this location and that he receives complaints on a regular basis about the illegal activity happening outside this store.
Ald. Brower moved nonrenewal of the Class A Fermented Malt based upon the preponderance of the evidence in the police report, resident and applicant testimony that demonstrates the operation results in a threat to the health, safety or welfare of the public for the failure to comply with the approved plan of operations and gambling.

The applicant said that he lives in town and that it depends because he has rental properties in Arkansas that he needs to check in. He added that his brother is at the store when he travels.
The applicant could not provide a direct answer for Ald. Zamarripa and Ald. Burgelis question about how many days/hours he is at the store.
