as amended, Sale to a Minor, and that$1,000 is to be paid within thirty (30) days upon receipt of the Decision and Order; seconded by Mr. Smith. Giffin: It's been moved and seconded that the penalty that has been recommended by the Corporation Counsel be accepted. All those in favor please say, "Aye." The Board Members voted "Aye." Mukai: Wait, we need to have discussion first. Giffin: I'm sorry. You wanted to say something? Mukai: No just that you have to have discussion first. Giffin: Okay, is there any discussion? Smith: I do. Giffin: Mr. Smith? Smith: I think, as Mr. Gonzalez has expressed before, we have very similar cases today. We need to make sure that what we decide on is consistent amongst the different cases where circumstances are aligned and fines are consistent with the violations. I'm in agreement with what you are doing, and I think that one of the factors here for waiving the thousand instead of the twelve fifty that we did on the others, is that your bartendress did not even ask for an ID. I think that's a difference and I think it needs to be stressed how important it is because Hilo Burger Joint has been in this room numerous times in the past and I know it's not pleasant to be here. I think you just need to stress to your employees to follow the rules and everything is fine. I concur; I just wanted to put the reason why it could or should be different on the record. Thank you. Giffin: Any other comments or questions for this discussion? There were no other comments or questions from the Board Members. Giffin: Hearing none, I would like to ask for a vote regarding the motion that was on the floor, and that is that the penalty be approved as presented. All those in favor? The Board Members voted "Aye." Giffin: All those opposed? There was no opposition by the Board Members. Giffin: And the Chair votes to approve. The motion is carried. The motion was carried unanimously. SEPTEMBER 5, 2019-LIQUOR ADJUDICATION BOARD MINUTES 22
