Please go ahead and raise your hand.

[7:03] I'll do last call. Oh, I do see one hand raised. and then give us just a second. We're gonna get our timer up here, and we will let you speak. AJ: Can you guys hear me? Okay. Yes. AJ: Okay. AJ: And but. Give us one second chair. Roberts is 3 min. Okay for public comment. Yes. And can we request video. We can't for public commenters, for something that's not on the agenda. Okay. Yeah. 3. Minutes. Sounds good. Okay, let us get our timer up. and then, sir, you can go ahead if you'll just say your name before you begin. AJ: Hi, my name is Aj. I spoke with you a couple of hearings ago. AJ: Regarding starting something very similar to rhg, or rr

[8:03] AJ: for the members of the bla that are new welcome and congratulations. AJ: Basically rhg, and and we may have talked about this in the past, too. AJ: Rsg. Was a way for the city AJ: and Volta, Pd. To communicate things to the beverage licensee holders. AJ: You know, regarding responsible service. AJ: any little bit of information that you needed to kind of push out there AJ: for people to be able to to receive. AJ: and we have been without that for quite some time. AJ: The last time I spoke in public comment it sounded like there was some interest from AJ: some of the Bla members. I work really closely with office direct. You know, have been since she has started her position on the job.

[9:03] AJ: And we, I think, and I'm sure that she would also agree. AJ: That having something like Rht or Rer that is. AJ: pertinent to boulder not outside cities like rear was I think this will be really, really important. We have I think the 1st home game for Cu Boulder is going to be AJ: 29th of August. AJ: We don't have a lot of time to kind of prepare for that and I think something like AJ: having rsg, or our kind of organization would would be really beneficial to to everybody involved. AJ: I need your help. There's only so much that I can do. So I'm wondering. This is AJ: maybe, perhaps to make a motion for this to be on the agenda

[10:00] AJ: for the next hearing. If that would be the procedure for that AJ: Oh, gosh! What was I saying? I apologize. I'm sorry. AJ: basically. I I need your help trying to get information to say alcohol license holders. AJ: Also to convey things from Boulder, Pd. And to kind of encourage the best practices. AJ: I AJ: would probably need to be la, to make a motion to allow this to actually start to take shape and to and to happen. And we also need AJ: we would also need access to the liquid license holders, emails AJ: just to be able to get that information as far as a meeting goes. And I I know it's probably not comfortable saying that, hey, this is a mandatory meeting. But I really do think that if we can get license holders all in one place

[11:01] AJ: and start this culture of information sharing, I think it's going to be really beneficial to everybody. AJ: and thank you for your time. AJ: and sorry for going over hypothesis. Thanks. Aj. All right. Perfect board members. Did you have anything else? With public comment? No, okay. No. I guess I guess I would just say that the Board is in support of community alignment. and if there's a specific ask, please bring it to us, or.

[12:04] Okay, perfect. And I'll just do one more shout out for public comment. Is there anyone else who would like to get public comment about something that's not on the agenda. I'm not seeing any hands, so I'll move on to agenda. Item 4, which is show cause hearing concerning an alleged violation, and whether the hotel restaurant type, liquor, license fringe, pizza, Llc. Dba fringe, a well tapped eatery, 2,900 Belmont road suite, a 1 boulder, Colorado 8 0 3 a 1 should be suspended or revoked. If you're here to speak on this matter, please go ahead and raise your hand. I see there's a few of our licenses that are here for this matter, so I'll get them. I'll let them get settled, and I see that Mia Keller is here from the attorney's office, and while they're getting settled, I will let the board know that there is a stipulation in this case.

[13:07] Thanks. Caitlin. You're welcome, and it looks like whitney and Buddy are here from fringe. Do you guys have capabilities on muting and training on your video?

Okay, great I will let mia and the board ticket for a second, and then I'll swear you guys in as soon as we're done with that. Thank you. As Ms. Kellogg said, there is a stipulation in this matter, so we would move for the Board to accept that stipulation. At this time. Great, I would make a motion to accept the stipulation of facts. Is there a second. I second the motion number Barnes. Great all those in favor say, aye, oh, Member Roberts! Aye. Remember Barnes, eye. We're trying, not. Tegrity! Aye. Great stipulation, accepted.

Great thanks. I'm gonna go ahead and read the procedures into the record. This is a public hearing before the beverage licensing authority of the city of Boulder to determine whether or not the licensee fringe pizza dba fringe a well tapped eatery with a hotel restaurant type. Liquor license shall be suspended or revoked, based on the violations alleged in the order to show cause, served upon the license. Sorry served upon the licensee and requiring the licensees. Presence here today, because this is a disciplinary proceeding, the authority shall not ask for or allow comment from members of the general public on the guilt of the licensee or the appropriate discipline to be imposed.

[20:10] The purpose of this hearing is to receive testimony presented by the city and the licensee. In order to enable this authority to make findings, and to determine, by the preponderance of evidence, whether or not the licensee has violated the various laws as alleged. If. in the course of this hearing, testimony, or other evidence, establishes the guilt of the licensee of a violation of some other law rule or regulation than those stated in the notice, the licensee shall be afforded a reasonable continuance upon any offer. That evidence and defense, explanation and mitigation is not then available to the licensee, but can be obtained within the period of continuance, not to exceed 10 days.

[21:00] A record of a record is being made of these proceedings. All testimony shall be given under oath. The rules of evidence and requirement. of proof and procedure shall confirm the extent practical to those sorry in civil non-jury cases, but when necessary to ascertain facts affecting the substantial rights of the public or of the licensee. The authority may receive and consider evidence not admissible under such rules. If such evidence possesses probative value, commonly accepted by reasonable and prudent persons in the conduct of the affairs. The rules of privilege required by law shall be respected in this proceeding, and the chair may exclude incompetent and unduly repetitious evidence. The Chair shall rule upon all questions of evidence and procedures

[22:00] subject to being overruled on motions stained by a majority vote. and those members of the authority present should a licensee wish to request a fine in lieu of active suspension days, they should notify. The authority of this after a penalty is determined, if any. But before suspension posting is discussed, and the licensee shall be prepared to supply an estimated per day suspension dollar amount for the authorities. Deliberations. Okay. Board. Are there any conflicts of interest or ex parte communications regarding that they wish to disclose. Remember Robert Snow. Remember Barnes, no. Never crying, now.

[23:01] Member Haggerty, no. Okay, great Now that we have accepted the stipulation licensees, what would you like to tell us. I can certainly start. I'm the owner of the restaurant. This is our 1st violation we've been in business for with you gotta help 5 years since. 19 is the when we got the original license Covid kind of screwed everything up. Yeah, we're right. At 5 years. I did 5 years never had an issue. And I think Harry and Whitney can speak to the young lady who did. The violation has already been through additional training. And and is that not true? Whit and Harry.

[24:00] That is. that's true. Yeah. She attended her court hearing, paid her fine and renewed her tips. Training as well. Great any other mitigating factors or explanation you'd like to share with us. Well, and I'm sorry to to continue to. I mean, there's been since this. Obviously, there's always ongoing training with this. But it's kind of been a wake up. Call for us to reemphasize to everybody in the restaurant the importance of this, and to retrain everybody as well. So. We've also ensured that the current date for the legal drinking age is posted. It's discussed in a pre-shift meeting every day, just to kind of keep that date fresh in everyone's mind. We also, as a general policy at the restaurant, do not accept the vertical Colorado id. Obviously this was

[25:05] a violation and mistake in that instance, but it has been reminded to the entire staff that those Ids are not accepted. Thank you. Any questions from the board. Just a clarification on my part, Mr. Brown. You said 5 years that's been Covid didn't interrupt that you were. You were in business over that period of time. Again, I would have to defer to Whitney on dates, because I've my memory is not so good. But we did have to per whatever the regulations were at that time. Shut down the restaurant take out only just like other restaurants did for a while, and then reopen slowly over time. But yes, we were an ongoing business throughout. Whatever following whatever regulations were in place at that time.

[26:04] Was looking for a context on that one violation in 5 years which I think is an important factor. We. We were continually operating again, under whatever the rules were at any given time during the Covid years. Right, and you were at the same location, or were you in a different location before, where you are now? Same location. Thank you. I don't know any other question. We've also been longstanding members of Rar before it was dissolved, so that helped us stay up to date on all current regulations and trainings and all that, and even once it was dissolved. We were diligent about making sure current staff. New staff was up to date and trained. Thank you. Any other. Let me see. Any other questions from the Board

[27:05] before we close for deliberation. Any final comments from fringe team. Yeah. Great. Thank you so much for your explanations. and now we will close for deliberation. I would say off the bat that I really appreciated how quickly they responded to this. I read their letter to us and everything that they've just kind of reiterated here. It felt like they really took it seriously, and that they understand the importance of being a liquor license. And I really appreciated that kind of just like really quick response, not, you know, but like in a positive way, not like fire, everyone but like, let's retrain. Let's like think this through and like do better.

[28:01] Employee made a difference for me, too. made the situation better rather than just trying to look better. Right. And also additional training, and they posted the date of the the 21 year old. The date of how old the 21 year old, be today every day, and I think that's important to remind the staff, too, which we don't always, you know, see? So I appreciate that also. Yeah, I do, too. I I think that I'm looking for that table. Sorry. Yeah. I know it's in here. I saw it before. There it is. so just kind of looking at the the tables. I would be fine to stray, based on the mitigating factors.

[29:02] And so and just having such a clean record. Well, that's part of a mitigating does anybody have kind of leading towards any ideas. Member. Haggerty. Yeah, I'm in agreement with the chair. Certainly, I think. Knowing that this is their 1st offense. 5 years of business. And Mr. Brown did say it was a wake up call of sorts. Which is you know. Happens we all make mistakes. Yeah. So I'm I'm leaning towards you know. Possibly lowering it to a day of days served one day and the and number of days in advance. I don't know what that would be, but I think one day serve is kind of lining up with what would be an appropriate

[30:05] consequence. I was thinking more like 3. Or 2 just just to have it on the record. 5. Is the recommended right. For abeyance. For abeyance. 9 is recommended. Recommended. 5 is for the 1st count, for the day served exactly. Right 5 for the 1st count for the day served, and then 9 in advance. So I was thinking, like. I don't know 2 or 3. Agree. And I'd like to hear what other members say, and their reason. I was thinking 3. Because it's less than 5 is recommended because of stipulation, and they've been so for forthcoming with everything. So I I was thinking about 3 days is what I was thinking, but.

[31:10] All right. From my point of view I'm I'm more in the 2 category. But it it you're at this point. I would, I would bow to the wisdom of more experienced members of the Board. I think they've responded appropriately, I think, and 2 days for a going business is a significant amount. and it's not just the the economic cost, but it's the reputational cost they have to give notice. And so if we saw them again, it would be a different matter. But I I not expecting to see them back. Agree. Well, then, I'll make a motion for 2 days served with 9 in abeyance.

[32:09] And I'll second that motion member, Barnes. Okay, all those in favor say, aye, member Roberts. Aye. Member Burns. Aye. Remember Crane on. Member Haggerty. Aye. Okay, so Caitlin. Yes, if you will decide what day you would like those 2 suspension days to begin on licensing can create a poster on tomorrow so it can start as soon as this weekend. So yeah. I'm sorry, since I was gonna ask quick question, since we've never, thank goodness, been down this road before, and never, never to be down this road again. What does this? So it's 2 days suspension. So license suspended for 2 days. So we're not not able to serve alcohol for 2 days. Is that what I'm hearing.

[33:08] Correct, but you can remain open and serve food. Okay? And I heard something earlier about the option to maybe pay a fine is that in in lieu of this, or is that not the way this works. You can always request anything, I guess. Yeah, I, just. If you share. Just trying to weigh my options, to have you not been here before? Haven't been able to schedule a therapy appointment. So fucking. Oh, Harry, if you were talking, you were very quiet. No, you're saying. Terry. Yes, didn't say anything. Did you? Oh, okay. Did not say anything. Sorry.

[34:00] There's Roberto. Hi Roberto. Hi, everyone! So if the licensee is requesting a fine in lieu of the suspension, now is the time to do so. You may do so, sir, and explain why, and then the board will redelliberate on that question. I again off the top of my head, and having not experienced this before, you never want to not provide a service to your guests, and it's a more of an economic thing for us. And and I believe, Member Crane said, it is. You know you don't want your guest to to not have all the options available at the restaurant. I understand we have a violation, and that's the whole point of this suspension to in in. But also fine is is penal as well. We have to write a check too. So if

[35:01] I don't even know what that amount and what's normal for these situations. But if I I think I'd rather pay a fine, even if people knew we paid a fine providing it's not too penal in lieu of closing for 2 days. If that's an option or not serving liquor for 2 days, or alcohol. And and I would speak to that as well. As Member Crane mentioned. It is a, you know. a little detrimental to the reputation as well, which we're fully prepared to take responsibility. But if it's an option to keep the doors open as usual, you know, not not lose any business over it like ongoing business. That would be ideal. Just need to know if you are making a formal request, and if you are, please provide an amount, and then we can deliberate.

[36:02] It's the amount is. Should I just ask a question. Sure. If if do you pay separate sales, tax on your alcohol sales from your other food sales. is it? Or is it all the same. It's all the same, as far as I'm aware. Are you in a position to estimate. how much your alcohol sales would be over 2 nights over 2 days. Average. I mean, if we were requesting days, I assume we would request slower days, obviously to, you know. I guess probably Sunday Monday over that. It's probably to 25% of sales wit at that point. I would think yes.

[37:00] So 25% of Sunday Monday sales $5,000. So you're looking at sales would be whatever that is. 1,250. 1,000 $250. Yeah. Just trying to. Of course I'm new to this, but I'm trying to think of what a what a real penalty is, and that penalty would be there if you couldn't sell. Yup. No, I I understand what you're where you're headed, and it makes sense to me. So would a would a thousand dollar fine, be a reasonable, ask. I would just need you guys to make a formal request. And. And then we can move on. Can can we request? Please request a thousand dollar fine in lieu of the 2 day suspended license.

[38:01] We can certainly close again for deliberation. Now that that request has been made, we'll close for deliberation and discuss. So go ahead, Member Haggerty, did you. Yeah. Member Haggerty. Yeah, certainly. Very uncommon for us to allow a fine in lieu of a suspension. And I worry about precedent, you know. Certainly. it makes sense to ask And I I understand why you why you are with the ramifications on how? Yeah, how it looks for the business. But yeah, certainly haven't been the 1st people to ask and it's just a rarity that we grant a fine in the suspension. So saying that I would be It would be tough for me to find a way to do that in this circumstance as well.

[39:06] I agree in general. It doesn't seem it. That's just in general. Yeah, I'm I'm just not a fan of the fee unless it really makes a lot of sense. I think that there was an unfortunate error, but the truth is, the bartender had 3 times to correct that error. and they didn't. They still served it. And so I do feel like, although they took a lot of responsibility, that this is a very fair consequence, and we've already strayed from the they served from the table, so I would I would be inclined to deny. But I'm happy to here. Other Board members.

[40:00] I agree with with you and Member Haggerty on this. I think 2 days is, we said that 5 days is a is a typical, and we went down to 2 days. And I feel good about the 2 days. I still have have a feeling and I'd articulate the if I can do it. Why, I I think we should consider this and one is. It's a 1st offense. If we established considering it on 1st offenses, we'd look at the totality of the circumstances, perhaps, and see how they've responded to the to the fact. Have they been in business for a long period of time? Is this the 1st time they've had any kind of problem. that would be one thing. The other thing is the city doesn't get any revenue. If we close their liquor sales down for 2 days. If they pay a fine, the city does

[41:01] right. Do we want to be? Do we want to be in a position of of oh collecting and encouraging fines. No, I don't think so, so. I don't think that's a great reason for doing it, but it it is a factor that there is. There is something gained they could. They could earn something back for for for their mistake by paying a fine as opposed to just suffering the penalty. So I do think there's some considerations there. I understand that I'm not in the majority on this one. I'm perfectly happy to to support the 2 day recommendation. I think that's a consideration for their behavior, and totally fair, but wanted to explore the other option. So once he brought it up. Absolutely. I think it's important. We always deliberate and discuss but to keep things moving I'll go ahead and make a motion to deny the fine in lieu of.

[42:08] I second the motion member, Barnes. Great all those in favor say, aye, member Roberts. Aye. Member Barnes. Aye. Number train. I. Okay. So today we will continue on with the time served instead of the fine in lieu of. We appreciate the consideration. Okay. So yes. I was just gonna say, and I'm sure you're already heading that way. But you have to make a decision as to when it should start has to be within 30 days, and it must be consecutive days. Harry and Whitney. If it's going to be 2 days, should it be, we'd want it to be asap. We're obviously August schools back coming back, and all the parents are coming back. So it either need to be. We would like it to be Sunday, Monday, or Monday, Tuesday. Harry. Monday, Tuesday, Sunday, Monday.

[43:16] Need to unmute Harry. Good. While we're waiting. Generally, we see you recommend the following Monday. I think that works well with the city office. I don't. Is that correct, Caitlin? What's up? Yep, we can. Honestly, we can make a poster today or tomorrow, so it could start as soon as this Friday. But the following Monday is typically what the Board chooses. Okay. So we would go. It would start the following Monday, so we'd go Monday, Tuesday. Please. Alright! Let's do! But. That works for us. With you guys, too. We wouldn't. No, we appreciate that. Yeah. Monday, Tuesday, this, this coming Monday, Tuesday would be wonderful well.

[44:03] less than wonderful and ideal. But we understand. It's okay. You good. Caitlin. Okay. Yeah, you can you make a motion for that? Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. No problem. I move to make a motion to begin the suspension. On Monday. The. 21.st 21.st Thank you. Can I second the motion number? Burns. All those in favor say, aye, member Roberts. Aye. Amber burns. Aye. Recurring high. Member Haggerty. I. Okay. Motion. Passed. Thank you so much. And then licensees I will send you an email. It'll either come from myself or Sarah Riggs that your suspension posters are ready to pick up. We'll have them ready for you tomorrow, and then they just need to be posted by 1159 on Monday, July 21st

[45:12] or midnight, July 21, st and then they'll go. It'll go to 1159 on the 20 second. Am. 1159 PM. Because it's. Right before permanent. Yep. So would would it be the day before on Sunday we would need to post, because we're gonna we're not gonna be serving on Monday. So we we need to post before we essentially 1st thing or at the end of the day. On Sunday, just. Whatever works for you, but it has to be posted at by midnight on July 21.st So that would be technically be Sunday night, right? So. Okay. 1159 Sunday night, and then it is posted until Tuesday, the 20 second, 1159. Does that make sense.

[46:02] Does. Now. Yes. There's instructions on the poster as well. Yeah, got it? Yeah. Appreciate it. Alright perfect. Thank you so much. and board, if you'll just give us a second to get everyone situated, and then we'll move on. Thank you all again for your time. We look forward to seeing you at fringe soon. Thank you. All right. Perfect. I we, as a reminder have moved agenda items 5 through 11 to a special hearing to be held on July 30.th So I will go ahead and move on to agenda. Item 12, which is matters from city attorney.

[47:01] Hi! Everyone, nothing from me. I look forward to seeing you all on the 30.th Things are widow. and next I will move on to agenda. Item 13, which is matters from licensing clerk. This was not on your agenda, and I apologize. But we do have one neighborhood boundary setting for you, and it is for a modification for roots. Music, project Foundation, Inc. Dba roots. Music project 4,747, Pearl Street, suite v. 3 anc. Boulder, Colorado, 8, 0 3 0 1. This is again for a permanent modification of an entertainment facility, type, liquor, license. Let me share my screen so you can see what we're working with. I've pulled the suggested boundaries from their original application, which was in 2022, and the suggested boundaries are Iris, on the north. Arapahoe, on the South Airport road, extended on the East and 28th Street on the west.

[48:06] So here's where we're looking at, and then. When were those previous boundary set. In 2022. What did they have, those weird Covid. They did not. This was actually one of the 1st that didn't. Okay. Then I would just make a motion to use the same boundaries. I second the motion member, Barnes. All those in favor say, aye, member Roberts. Aye. Member Burns. Aye. Member Crane. I. Member, haggard AI. Perfect. Thank you so much. And then we just have. There was no transfers for this month to let you know about, no wineries, distilleries, or breweries. You have your special event list that's in there. And then the renewals that were sent Elisa and Kristin Teague are on a conference this week. So there's no legislative update for you. And they didn't have anything anyways.

[49:19] So that's it for members from the licensing clerk. I'm sorry matters from licensing clerk. I will move on to agenda. Item, 14 matters from chair and members of the authority. I don't have any matters. Does anybody else. I do not. I have a quick question about the rar. What? Yeah, I think. And the gentleman who spoke I guess he he was asking us to do something? Question mark That's what I have written down. So. So I yeah, I guess

[50:00] I would love. If anyone has clarity on what that is we would be able to do, or what? What would the process of, you know, bring in our AR, or something similar back? and what? What that entails? I think we we might have an idea, but I'm not. I'm still a little murky for me. Well, it's my understanding it is a community engagement. Maybe a nonprofit. I'm not sure where it does align. All of the establishments. Maybe officer. Rec. Oh, Did you want us? And and they work with the police department? Right? And it's like keeping up to date on all the new laws and regulations. Yeah. I think I think we're aj. When when we have talked where Aj. Has talked, I think he's wanting to get one up and running, but I I'm not sure if he's needing some guidance or some buy in, and I know that we had kind of briefly spoke about that the last time, and I was going to actually try to give him a resource of somebody he could contact, to learn how to

[51:13] maybe start that process for the city to you know, for him to become that alright? Alright again. Do you guys have any recommendations of somebody? I can have him talk to. Member Absalon, who used to be on the board for many years. He, I believe, was the original founder of Rar, like 10 years ago, 10 plus. So he's listening. Okay. That's really. Yeah. I mean. Okay. I think that would be helpful for him. And then, like I said, we've talked a lot about it, and we've talked a lot about it. And I'm definitely in support of getting that back up and running, especially with like the new. With this whole new bunch and new. You know I'm fairly new. I just think it would be super beneficial all the way around, so I will have him reach out to former member, Absalon, or or Member Absalon, and

[52:12] see what he, what he recommends. Yeah, I think it's but as far as the board, I think, we're, all support of anything that's community driven and supporting, you guys, officer rock so. Okay, all right, I'll pass that along. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. Any other comments on that matter, or any other matters. Thank. I'm so sorry I should have said this during my own matters. But, I will not be clicking the hearing on the 30.th You will have Alisa and Sarah so just fy that it'll be a little different. But it'll be Elisa and Sarah. I'm just not in the office that day, so.

[53:01] Oh, it's vacation! I teach high school marching band, and they have their band camp on. Oh, my! Gosh! That day, so town that day also. I will not be here next next week, the 30.th I will not be here, so Member Barnes and Member Haggerty. Right? Okay, perfect. And member car will be there. So we will have a court great perfect. And then the only other thing I wanted to remind everyone about. That anyone that's listening, or anything like that just about public comment. If there's any time that anyone wants to submit written public comment for the bla to be included in the bla packets. They're more than welcome to do that. And the email to send that to you is licensing online at Boulder, colorado.gov. All those words are spelled so licensing online at bouldercorado.gov. that's just an fyi for anyone who wants to submit any written public comment or anything like that. So that's all.
