Gonzalez: Mr. Chair, as to the Department recommendation for the penalty, in this case, the <br />Department is recommending a $100 fine to be paid within thirty days upon receipt of the <br />Decision and Order for said violation, payable to the Department of Liquor Control. This <br />recommendation takes into account the fact that this Licensee has had no previous violations, <br />that they did ultimately pay their percentage fee within one week of the voice message reminder <br />on November 18, they paid their $2,105.68 percentage fee to the Department, (and) after <br />speaking with Wilson this morning, explaining the circumstances and how he may have been a <br />bit overwhelmed and disorganized in having to take care of the reporting. Since that time, he <br />told me, they've hired a person to take care of the paperwork and the accounting. This should <br />not occur in the future. <br />Smith: Mr. Palomo, do you have any questions or comments? <br />Palomo: Not for that. I just want to make sure that (you know) I did not disrespect or totally <br />ignore the communication. I'm just overwhelmed with my tasks, it's so much. <br />Smith: Thank you very much. Do I have a motion on the penalty? <br />Mukai: Mr. Chair, I move that we accept the recommendation of the Department. <br />Smith: Okay, is there a second? <br />Taniguchi: Second. <br />Mr. Mukai moved that the Licensee in Case No. 2020-005, be <br />assessed a penalty in the amount of $100 to be paid within <br />thirty (30) days upon receipt of the Decision and Order for <br />said violation, payable to the Department of Liquor Control; <br />seconded by Mr. Taniguchi. <br />Smith: Okay, any questions? <br />Taniguchi: I have a question for Mr. Gonzalez. <br />Smith: Sure, go ahead, Art. <br />Taniguchi: Is there a percent guideline that we use for instances like this? In other words, the <br />amount that wasn't paid on time was $2,100 something, correct? <br />Gonzalez: Correct. <br />Taniguchi: So, is there a percentage, like 3%, 5%? Do we have any kind of guidelines like <br />that? <br />Gonzalez: I see what you're saying. <br />Taniguchi: Is there any kind of guideline like that? <br />Gonzalez: No, we do not have any. <br />FEBRUARY 20, 2020 -LIQUOR ADJUDICATION BOARD MINUTES 12 <br />
