The Board Members voted "Aye." <br />Smith: Motion carried. <br />The motion was carried unanimously. <br />Smith: Renee, you want to read the report on the penalty? <br />Schoen: Sure. The original license was issued on October 21, 2014. There's been no previous <br />violation by this Licensee. The Department is recommending $150 fine to be paid within thirty <br />(30) days upon receipt of the Decision and order for the violation, made payable to the <br />Department of Liquor Control. The basis for the fine was that this Licensee did take responsibility <br />and there's been no previous violations. <br />Smith: Okay. <br />Schoen: So basically they hand -walked in the payment the next day. <br />Taniguchi: So they hand -carried, it wasn't mailed? <br />Smith: Do I have a motion to approve the penalty as recommended? <br />Mukai: So moved. <br />Taniguchi: Second. <br />Mr. Mukai moved that the Licensee in Case No. 2018010, be <br />assessed a penalty in the amount of $'150, to be paid within <br />thirty (30) days upon receipt of the Decision and order; <br />seconded by Mr. Taniguchi. <br />Smith: Any discussion? I had a question. For these kinds of administrative things where they're <br />supposed to do something by a certain date, and if the Licensee doesn't, we send an investigator <br />out? <br />Gonzalez: Yes. Especially in this case where there were at least two written reminders of the <br />due date and then the Secretary for the Department actually called and spoke to the Store <br />Manager to tell them, "I'm in Kona, drop it off before we close the office" and they didn't show up. <br />Then they walked in the day after and dropped it off at the Mayor's Office. After emailing and <br />mailing notices, as well as a telephone conversation, we felt that a person-to-person reminder <br />(the investigator going out) in this case was worth it; now we had to send somebody (out). <br />Smith: Okay, so there's a progressive method you're using here with face-to-face being like a <br />last step? <br />Gonzalez: Yes. <br />Masuda: Just understand, too, though, the efforts they made is out of courtesy to the Licensee. <br />There's no requirement that they do so. <br />FEBRUARY 27, 2019 - LIQUOR ADJUDICATION BOARD MINUTES 18 <br />
