Fuke: If not, all those in favor please say, "Aye." The Board Members voted "Aye." Fuke: Chair votes "Aye." Fuke: Those opposed, "Nay." There was no opposition by the Board Members. Fuke: Unanimously carried. The motion was carried unanimously. Fuke: Prior to assessing a penalty, we'd like to give you an opportunity to present your side of the situation. There may be some mitigating situations where the Board is entitled to consider. You have the floor. Tomlinson: Thank you. I'm not disputing anything that happened. It happened as it was said. The next morning, I heard from Malia, who was the MOD at the time. I stopped by to speak with Kalani on Monday and found out it happened exactly as said. I just wanted to come today to basically let everybody know that we take this extremely seriously.

Malia was suspended for ten days. That's basically all I wanted to do, let everybody know we try to do things correctly. We have good relationships with the agents outside since Gerald's been here and that's awesome. I would be remiss in not asking for any leniency in the penalty, just because I would.

Tomlinson: She did. Her response to Steve Frendo was that time had gotten away from her. I'm not making any excuses for her. It was Ironman night and as it states in here, she had called me at about 11:00 P.M. and said, "Can I close early? There's nobody here." I said, "Close, just get out of there." All the streets were blocked. She said shortly after that a bunch of people came in from other places, friends. It was her birthday the next day. Once again, I'm not making any excuses. She was on a remote karaoke device that she hooked up to the tv. There was no drinking taking place at the time, as Steve noticed. But, that's a separate violation I understand. Once again, I'm not making DECEMBER 7, 2017 - LIQUOR ADJUDICATION BOARD MINUTES 4
