Schoen: The Department did look at the fact that there were three sales during that three-hour <br />period and the finding recommended is consistent with other fines that this (Board) has been <br />issuing. <br />Taniguchi: Actually, it's $500, right? <br />Schoen: It is $1,000. <br />Taniguchi: $1,000, but $500 is suspended, so it's $500. <br />Chu: If there are no other violations, the $500 goes away? <br />Masuda: Right. That is correct. <br />Chu: I would like to put that on the record. I was in a situation where they said "suspended," and <br />a year later, they called and said it was suspended for a year. I said `yes, but it's supposed to go <br />away' and they said they looked at the transcript and it doesn't say that it goes away. Now, when <br />go to Honolulu, I always make sure it's on the record that it goes away after a year. <br />Masuda: As- long as there is no similar violation. <br />Chu: Right. What's the point of suspending it and you get no violations and you have to pay it <br />a year from now? <br />Mukai: This is the County of Hawaii. It's suspended, if nothing, then it's gone. It disappears. <br />Chu: I appreciate the Board and Counsel recognizing that is what the purpose of what that's <br />about. <br />Smith: We have a lot of integrity. We are the Liquor Adjudication Board and we do not do those <br />kinds of things. The motion has been carried. The penalty is $1,000; $500 will be waived if <br />there's no further violation in the area. Newton, part of this is that we need to support our <br />investigators and we need to enforce the rules that are in place. I think the leniency is that <br />because Longs has been a good corporate citizen in the community, Corporation Counsel is <br />recommending waiving 50 percent of that. <br />Chu: Yes, and we accept it. I just thought that I'd say it. <br />Smith: Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Based on that, a written Decision and Order will be <br />prepared and served upon the Licensee, which will be due and payable within 30 days of its <br />receipt. Any questions? <br />Chu: No, no questions. <br />Smith: Thank you very much. Good luck. <br />Gonzalez: Mr. Chu, would you like to be mailed a courtesy copy of the Decision and order? <br />Chu: Yes, please. Email is fine. Thank you. <br />FEBRUARY 21, 2019 - LIQUOR ADJUDICATION BOARD MINUTES 6 <br />
