Smith: Hearing none, the motion is carried unanimously. The motion was carried unanimously. Smith: Mr. Gonzalez, please provide the Department's recommendation for penalty in the case. Gonzalez: The Department is recommending a $100 fine to be paid within thirty (30) days. The Licensee has no previous violations and has a clean record. The Licensee paid the fine of $2,952.89 after being notified by phone that they were late. The Licensee explained that they were busy opening their new location at Kawailani and the payment of the percentage fee for the N5'Alehu location just fell through the cracks and they apologized. Smith: Can I have a motion on the penalty? Mukai: Yes, Mr. Chair. I move that we accept the recommendation of the Department. Taniguchi: Second. Mr. Mukai moved that the Licensee in Case No. 2020-002, be assessed a penalty in the amount of $100 to be paid within thirty (30) days upon receipt of the Decision and Order for said violation, payable to the Department of Liquor Control; seconded by Mr. Taniguchi. Smith: Thank you, Dwayne and Art. Any discussion? Brandon, similar to the comments on the previous case, create some rationale. Being due on the 15th and paying on the 19th, that's like due on the 15th and paying the 25th; I think that's fine. But, if it took a month to pay, there should be some difference. Takase: Mr. Chair, the Department has some rationale for the recommendation. That was what he was reading to you. Gonzalez: They have a clean record, they paid within a week of being told, and they took responsibility and apologized. Smith: Okay, I'm good with that. Any comments or questions? There were no comments or questions from the Board Members. Smith: If not, all those in favor say, "Aye." The Board Members voted "Aye." Smith: Any opposition? There was no opposition by the Board Members. Smith: Hearing none, motion carried unanimously. FEBRUARY 20, 2020 -LIQUOR ADJUDICATION BOARD MINUTES 16
