The Board Members voted "Aye." <br />Lindsey: Those opposed say "Nay." <br />There was no opposition by the Board Members. <br />Lindsey: Chair votes "Aye." <br />The motion was carried unanimously. <br />Lindsey: At this time we would like to ask the Licensee to introduce himself and give <br />us an explanation on the current situation. <br />Bal: My name is Billy Bal. I am the Controller of the company; recently back from a <br />two-year hiatus. We would like to say no contest to the charges. We are aware at this <br />point to what happened and hope to reach an agreement. We hope to move forward <br />and do better than we did last year and earlier this year, as well. Getting to and through <br />the new year, this new license took a lot of financial need. The reason we couldn't pay <br />is because our available funds to operate the business was focused to pay the <br />back -taxes and these fines. It was almost impossible to do. We did have a plan and <br />thankfully, we were able to pay it before this hearing. I hope we can move forward with <br />the confidence that we aren't going to do this again. Part of my job coming back is to <br />ensure a thing like this doesn't happen anymore. We are going to do our best to make <br />sure that happens. <br />Lindsey: Thank you. At this time, I'd to open up a discussion for the Board Members. <br />Do you have any questions for Mr. Bal? <br />Giffin: I appreciate what you just said and the key thing to me is that the company now <br />has a plan. All good intentions are always well received, however, without a plan those <br />things are empty words. I do appreciate that. Thank you. <br />Lindsey: Thank you. Mr. Fuke? <br />Fuke: What is your payment plan to write down for the roughly $7,720.00 debt? <br />Takase: They've paid that already. <br />Fuke: Okay, moving forward. What is your plan? <br />Bal: We have the percentage fees coming up and we are going to make sure we get <br />that paid in a timely manner. We plan to set up an organized office and have somebody <br />in charge. That makes a big difference. We are in that place at this point. <br />Fuke: So Gerald, is that payment annually, monthly or quarterly? <br />SEPTEMBER 21, 2017- LIQUOR ADJUDICATION BOARD MINUTES 5 <br />
